Sample Output

Example 1: Catalyst Analysis with Trade Decision

Query: ./scripts/search.sh "What's driving the fall in silver prices? Identify all the catalysts and make a trade decision for tomorrow."

📊 **Silver Price Decline: Catalyst Analysis**

**Signal: AVOID** | Time Horizon: T+1
Related: SLV (-28.54%), SI (-0.77%), XAGUSD (+2.58%)

Silver has entered bear market territory after falling nearly 22% from its
recent record high, driven by a confluence of macro and technical factors. [1][2]

**Macro Catalysts:**
- President Trump's announcement of Kevin Warsh as Fed pick eased concerns
  about Fed independence, triggering a sharp dollar rally [7][10]
- Repricing underway with assumption that smaller Fed balance sheet would
  tighten financial conditions [8]
- Declining capital leakage from China — more capital returning to China,
  affecting precious metals where sentiment is currently driving prices [7][9]

**Technical Catalysts:**
- Parabolic run with 14% intraday surge showed clear blowoff top pattern [1][9]
- One-month volatility surged above 96%, steepest level in nearly 25 years [7][10][12]
- Inverted volatility curve signals traders anticipate further unwinding [7][10][12]
- CME raised margin requirements to 11% from 9% — familiar late-cycle signal
  that speculative excess is being wrung out [5][8][13]

**Valuation:**
Current price ($86.62) trades significantly above 200-day MA of $48/oz,
indicating deeply overbought conditions. Analysts estimate fair value
around $60/oz. JPMorgan's Marko Kolanovic suggests silver should trade
at half its current price later in 2026. [14][16][18][20][21][22][23]

**Trade Decision:**
Avoid purchasing silver for tomorrow. Market likely to continue unwinding
speculative positions. Wait for stabilization at $75-$80 support zone
before considering new long positions. [3][11]

Example 2: Price Target with Hold Recommendation

Query: ./scripts/search.sh "Give me a clear buy/sell/hold call and an optimal target price for T+5."

📊 **Silver Trade Signal: 5-Day Outlook**

**Signal: HOLD** | Target Range: $80-$90 | Time Horizon: T+5

Silver has experienced extreme volatility with current price at $86.31,
following intraday high of $88.00 and low of $77.00 today. [1]

**Technical Summary:**
- 1-Month Volatility: >96% (extreme)
- Volatility Curve: Steeply inverted — traders anticipate further unwinding [5]
- Gold/Silver Ratio: Below 50 (stretched outperformance vs gold) [7][17]
- Support: $83-$85 (larger retracement) | Resistance: $93.50-$96.00 [9]

**Historical Pattern:**
In six prior instances since 1970 where silver doubled in 40 days and rose
over 10% in a single day, prices were lower 20 days later. This suggests
caution, but immediate sustained crashes are not guaranteed. [16]

**Bullish Factors (Long-term):**
- Structural supply deficit from solar, EVs, and data centers [7][3]
- Physical demand from China and India remains strong [1][5][8]
- Shanghai silver futures trading at premium to global spot [1][5][8]

**Bearish Factors (Short-term):**
- CME margin hike to 11% forcing speculative liquidation [10]
- Risk-reward completely skewed at current levels [14][11]
- "Meme trader" phenomenon contributing to volatility [9]

**Trade Decision:**
HOLD for next 5 trading days. Consolidation phase likely after correction
from peak near $120.60. Target $80-$90 reflects stabilization period with
potential for minor upward corrections within volatile environment.

Example 3: Analyst Coverage

Query: ./scripts/search.sh "What are analysts saying about NVIDIA?"

📊 **NVIDIA Analyst Sentiment**

Wall Street remains overwhelmingly bullish on NVIDIA with 45 Buy ratings,
3 Hold, and 0 Sell. Average price target: $950 (18% upside). [1]

**Recent Actions:**
- Goldman Sachs: Reiterated Buy, PT $1,000 — "AI infrastructure spend
  remains in early innings" [2]
- Morgan Stanley: Overweight, PT $950 — Raised estimates on Blackwell
  demand visibility [3]
- Bank of America: Buy, PT $925 — "Data center TAM expansion continues
  to exceed expectations" [1]

Key debate centers on sustainability of 70%+ gross margins as competition
from AMD MI300X intensifies in 2025. [3]

Integration

With AI Agents

The agent will automatically use this skill when asked:

• "Should I buy NVDA?"
• "What's your call on AAPL?"
• "Sell or hold TSLA?"
• "Give me a trade signal for META"
• "Is now a good entry for AMD?"
• "Analyze GOOGL before earnings"
• "What are analysts saying about MSFT?"
• "Best tech stocks to buy right now"

Example Agent Flow

1. User: "How is NVIDIA doing?"
2. Agent: [calls search.sh "NVIDIA financial performance and outlook"]
3. Agent: "NVIDIA reported record Q3 revenue of $35.1B, up 94% YoY.
   Data center segment drove growth at $30.8B. Analysts maintain
   Buy ratings with average PT of $950. Key catalyst: Blackwell
   architecture ramp in Q1 2025."
4. User: "What about their margins?"
5. Agent: [calls search.sh "NVIDIA gross margin and profitability"]
6. Agent: "Gross margin was 75% in Q3, up from 70% YoY. Management
   expects margins to moderate to 73-74% as Blackwell ramps due to
   initial yield curves, per CFO commentary on earnings call."

Combining with Other Skills

# Get financial data then execute trade
./scripts/search.sh "AAPL earnings analysis" && trade-signal query "Should I buy AAPL?"

# Research before news check
./scripts/search.sh "Tesla delivery numbers" && finance-news news TSLA

Tips for Better Results

Best Practices:

• Be specific — Include timeframes, metrics, and company names
• Use ticker symbols — "AAPL" is clearer than "Apple"
• Ask direct questions — "What is..." or "How much..." get precise answers
• Include context — "last quarter", "FY 2024", "year-over-year"
