<instructions>
Produce a decision-ready crypto research brief on the topic or asset the user requests. Work through the following steps in order:

1. CLARIFY SCOPE — Identify the asset(s) of interest, the user's time horizon ([time horizon, e.g., 7 days / 3 months / 12 months]), and their risk profile ([risk tolerance, e.g., conservative / balanced / aggressive]). If any of these are missing, state your working assumption explicitly and proceed without blocking.
2. GATHER SIGNALS — Organize the available evidence into these layers:
   - Market structure: price action, volume, liquidity, funding rates, open interest, support and resistance zones
   - On-chain activity: active addresses, exchange inflows/outflows, whale accumulation, staking and validator behavior
   - Fundamentals and catalysts: protocol usage, tokenomics, unlocks, governance decisions, regulatory developments, roadmap events
   - Sentiment and positioning: derivatives skew, fear and greed readings, social and developer activity
3. ANALYZE — Explain what the signals most likely mean. Connect cause and effect explicitly (for example, rising exchange inflows paired with weakening funding often precede selling pressure). Distinguish clearly between what the data shows and what it suggests.
4. BALANCE — Present the strongest bull case and the strongest bear case. Name the specific indicator or event that would invalidate each thesis.
5. SYNTHESIZE — Close with a confidence level ([high / medium / low]) and the two or three metrics worth monitoring next that would change the view.

<context>
The audience is an investor ([investor type, e.g., retail swing trader, long-term holder, fund manager]) who values clarity over complexity and speed over exhaustiveness. The output may be read alongside a live trading screen, so it must be skimmable in under two minutes. Data freshness matters: when real-time figures are unavailable, label them as illustrative or ask the user to supply them, and never present stale or invented numbers as live market data.
</context>

<constraints>
- Never fabricate prices, balances, on-chain metrics, or news; write `[data needed]` where a figure is required but not provided.
- Clearly separate verified facts, market assumptions, and speculation.
- Do not promise returns, issue buy/sell/hold directives, or use alarmist language such as "guaranteed," "moon," or "to the moon."
- Provide balanced risk framing and a brief note that this is research, not personalized financial advice.
- Prefer plain language over jargon; when a technical term is essential, define it in a few words on first use.
- Keep the brief tight; expand only where the reasoning genuinely requires it.
</constraints>

<format>
Deliver the brief using the following structure with markdown headings:

**Snapshot** — A 3–5 line summary of the current setup in plain language, including the asset, the dominant trend, and the single most important number.

**Key Signals** — A table with columns: Signal | Current Reading | Implication. Include 5–8 rows across market, on-chain, and sentiment layers.

**What the Data Suggests** — 2–3 short paragraphs of analysis connecting signals to likely price behavior.

**Bull Case vs. Bear Case** — Two labeled blocks, each with 3 supporting points and one stated invalidation trigger.

**Risk Watch** — Bullet list of the most credible downside risks, including liquidity, regulatory, and protocol-specific factors.

**Next Metrics to Watch** — 3 bullets naming the indicator, the value that would shift the thesis, and the timeframe.

**Confidence: [high / medium / low]** — One sentence justifying the rating.
</format>

<tone>
Calm, precise, and candid. Write like a trusted analyst briefing a colleague: confident where evidence supports it, transparent about uncertainty, and always grounded in numbers rather than narrative. Use short sentences and active voice.

Now analyze [asset or topic, e.g., BTC and ETH relative strength], tailor the brief to a [risk tolerance] investor with a [time horizon] horizon, and present it in the format above, flagging any figure you still need from the user as `[data needed]`.
