How often are Pulse briefs published?

Pulse briefs are published near real-time throughout the day. Our automated pipeline processes 17 RSS news sources, clusters related articles, and generates structured analysis — typically producing 10-30 new briefs per day across all markets. Each brief includes a timestamp showing when it was published.

What markets does Pulse cover?

Pulse covers five major markets with over 1,260 tradeable instruments: cryptocurrency (470+ tokens including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins), stocks (600+ equities across 11 sectors), forex (100+ currency pairs), indices (40+ global indices), and commodities (35+ including precious metals, energy, and agriculture).

How is market sentiment determined?

Market sentiment is determined through a multi-step automated pipeline: related news articles are clustered using semantic similarity (DBSCAN algorithm), then analyzed by large language models (LLM) that classify each event as bullish, bearish, neutral, or volatile. The classification considers price impact, market implications, and cross-asset correlations. Aggregate sentiment across markets is computed from these individual event classifications.

How does Pulse differ from CoinUnited.io Research articles?

Pulse briefs are daily event-driven signal reports (published within hours of an event), while Research articles are in-depth market outlook reports (published weekly). Pulse focuses on "what happened and what it means for traders now," while Research provides comprehensive analysis of market trends, strategies, and long-term outlook. Both are available at coinunited.io.

What unique analysis does Pulse provide?

Pulse provides two types of analysis unique to CoinUnited.io: (1) Leverage Impact Analysis — how each event affects leveraged positions with worked examples (e.g., "A 50x long BTC position at $95,000 faces..."), which no other financial news outlet provides; and (2) Cross-Market Impact Analysis — how an event in one market ripples across crypto, stocks, forex, indices, and commodities.
