AI Crypto Analysis With Live Data: What Evidence Should Be Included?

An AI market analysis is only as good as the evidence it shows. Ask for the data, not just the conclusion.

Short answer

A useful AI crypto analysis with live data should include: the exact market (venue, contract, spot or perp), the time window and timestamp of the data, the specific values used (price levels, funding, OI change with units, volume), how each value was obtained (tool call or source), the reasoning that links values to conclusions, what would invalidate the conclusion, and what data was missing. ChartsPod's agent shows every tool call, which lets you check each value against the chart.

Weak answerStrong answer
'Funding is high''Funding +0.03% per 8h on venue A at 14:00 UTC (tool: funding)'
'OI is rising''OI +6.2% in coins over 4h'
'Bullish''Bullish while above 61,200; invalid on 1h close below'

Why evidence matters

Language models can produce fluent, plausible text without data. Visible tool calls let you see whether the numbers came from a data fetch or from the model's general knowledge. A conclusion without traceable inputs should be treated as a hypothesis.

A prompt that asks for evidence

Illustrative prompt: 'For venue A's BTCUSDT perpetual over the last 4 hours, report price change, OI change in coins, funding now and its change, and net taker volume. Cite the tool call for each number. Then state one interpretation and what would invalidate it. List any data you could not retrieve.'
