# Moneyness breakdown with pattern detection

`GET /v1/moneyness/{ticker}`

Splits calls and puts across `deep_itm / itm / atm / otm /
deep_otm` buckets with premium, sentiment, percentage of total,
and trade count. Surfaces detected patterns (e.g. heavy OTM call
accumulation, ATM concentration, deep-OTM lottery tickets) and a
directional `signal`/`dominantStrategy` interpretation.

## Path parameters

- `ticker` string, required

## Query parameters

- `timeframe` 'intraday' | 'daily' | '7d' | '30d'
- `date` string, date
- `min_premium` number, double
