🌟 Why This Isn’t Just “Another Discord Bot”

Most market bots just spit out a price or a simple RSI number. DiscordCryptoAnalyzer takes a fundamentally different approach. It uses Vision Models (like Gemini Flash) to “see” the market the way a human does.

1. Visual Pattern Recognition

When a user types !analyze BTC/USDT, the bot doesn’t just look at numbers. It:

Fetches real‑time candles from Binance or KuCoin.
Renders a high‑resolution Plotly chart with support/resistance levels and pivot points.
Sends that actual image to an AI vision model.
The AI identifies “head and shoulders,” “wedges,” and “breakouts” visually, providing a reasoning that humans can verify on the spot.

Short JSON message in action.

2. Multi‑Timeframe Context

The bot doesn’t judge a coin by a single candle. It analyzes context across 1 h, 4 h, and 12 h timeframes simultaneously to detect trend strength and divergence.

3. Community Engagement Features

Educational References: Technical terms in the analysis automatically link to definitions, helping community members learn as they trade.
Multilingual Support: The bot can provide analysis in English, Polish, Spanish, and more, making it perfect for global crypto groups.
Interactive Reports: Along with the Discord summary, it generates a full interactive HTML report for deep‑dive research. See a live example of a BTC/USDT analysis report here.

Detailed technical breakdown and AI rationale.

🛠️ The Tech Behind the Bot

Built for speed and flexibility, the bot features a user‑configurable AI orchestration layer. Through config.ini, users have total control over the intelligence level:

Single Provider Mode: Lock the bot to a specific provider like Google Gemini (GenAI SDK), OpenRouter, or local LM Studio for maximum control.
Fallback Chain (“All”): Enable a resilient fallback system (Google AI → LM Studio → OpenRouter) to ensure the bot continues operating even if a primary API hits a rate limit or goes offline.
Vision Optimization: Specifically tuned for vision‑capable models (e.g., gemini-1.5-flash-latest) to ensure visual patterns are accurately extracted.

1. Numba Acceleration (Custom Engine)

# example of a custom EMA implementation with Numba
import numpy as np
from numba import njit

@njit(cache=True)
def ema(arr: np.ndarray, period: int) -> np.ndarray:
    alpha = 2 / (period + 1)
    result = np.empty_like(arr)
    result[0] = arr[0]
    for i in range(1, len(arr)):
        result[i] = alpha * arr[i] + (1 - alpha) * result[i - 1]
    return result

We built our own indicator engine from scratch using Native NumPy + Numba JIT. Standard libraries are bloated; our custom @njit(cache=True) implementations for EMA, SMA, and overlap indicators calculate in microseconds, ensuring the bot handles high‑frequency message spikes without blocking the asyncio event loop.

2. Smart Anti‑Spam & Role Management

The bot includes a custom AntiSpam cog that:

Uses commands.CooldownMapping to track user message frequency bucket‑style.
Automatically assigns a configurable “Muted” role to spammers.
Cleans up its own tracking references (_cleanup_user_tracking) to prevent memory leaks.

3. Layered Agent Architecture

The codebase follows a strict Instruction Hierarchy (see AGENTS.md), separating the “Brain” (AnalysisEngine), “Muscles” (DiscordCryptoBot), and “Eyes” (Plotly). This makes it easy for other developers to contribute without breaking the core logic.

🌐 Global Scale

Out of the box, the bot supports 8 languages (English, Polish, Spanish, French, Chinese, etc.), configurable via config.ini. It automatically adapts its technical‑analysis explanations to the user’s local language.
