Market Regime Detection API

A REST/WebSocket API that analyzes real-time price action across forex, crypto, and equities to output a probabilistic classification of the current market regime (e.g., 80% ranging, 20% trending). Algorithmic traders can plug this into their existing bots to dynamically switch between 'good' and 'bad' R:R strategies.
