Htx Market Overview

HTX Market Overview

Layer 2 analytical skill that produces a dashboard-style snapshot of the entire HTX market — both spot and USDT-M futures — by aggregating ticker endpoints. Useful for "what's happening" questions where the user hasn't named a specific symbol.

When to use this skill

• "What's moving in the market right now?"
• "Top gainers / losers in the last 24h"
• "Any abnormal volume spikes today?"
• "Is altseason vibe on?"
• "How many coins are up / down?"
• "Recap of today's market"

If the user asks for a specific symbol, fall through to htx-spot-market (price), htx-technical-analysis (technical read), or htx-derivatives-analyst (futures pressure).

Underlying tools

If those Layer 1 skills aren't installed:

htx-cli skill install spot-market
htx-cli skill install futures-market

Standard workflow

Step 1 — Pull both ticker universes

htx-cli spot market tickers --json     > /tmp/htx_spot_tickers.json
htx-cli futures market tickers --json  > /tmp/htx_futures_tickers.json

Each ticker entry contains: symbol / contract_code, open, close, high, low, vol, amount, count. Compute change_pct = (close - open) / open * 100 client-side.

Step 2 — Compute aggregates client-side

For each universe (spot, futures):

Step 3 — Sector / narrative tags (best-effort)

HTX spot symbols don't carry sector tags natively. Two tactics:

1. Hardcoded buckets (maintain in references/sectors.md):

   • Layer 1: btc, eth, sol, ada, dot, avax, ...
   • Layer 2: op, arb, mantle, ...
   • AI: agix, fet, rndr, ocean, tao, ...
   • DePIN: hnt, render, akt, ...
   • Memecoin: doge, shib, pepe, wif, ...

2. External enrichment (optional): pull CoinGecko /coins/categories for fresher tags. Free tier OK.

For each bucket, average the change_pct of the top-5 by market cap inside the bucket → sector heat.

Market phase classification

What this skill explicitly does NOT do

• ⚠️ No native sector taxonomy — HTX exchange API has no first-class sector field. Sector logic relies on a hardcoded mapping in references/sectors.md (or optional CoinGecko enrichment).
• ⚠️ No new-listing tracker — would need htx-cli spot market symbols diffed across days; not implemented in v1 of this skill.
• ⚠️ No narrative detection from news/social — that needs sentiment-analyst + news-briefing (news-briefing not yet built in this hub).

Output guidance

When the user asks an open-ended "what's happening" question, lead with:

1. One-liner (e.g. "Broad rally led by AI sector — 65% of pairs up")
2. Top 3 stories: biggest gainer, biggest sector move, biggest volume anomaly
3. Risk flag if rally is narrow (top 5 carrying everything) or if breadth diverges from BTC
