6Spread Compression Predictor

Bid-ask spreads are the core revenue driver for market makers. AI agent predicts when spreads will compress or widen by analyzing the digital health trajectory of issuers — companies improving their web presence, transparency, and institutional signals tend to attract more liquidity, compressing spreads, while deteriorating presence signals upcoming volatility.

AI agent correlates microstructure anomalies with changes in issuer digital presence, identifying whether dislocations are caused by fundamental changes or transient market noise, enabling smarter inventory management.
