# Signals and Narratives

Markets do not move on numbers alone. [Stories](https://www.edgen.tech/app/crypto/themes), communities, and events can shift value as much as fundamentals. A single post can move sentiment. A policy announcement can redirect capital. An earnings call can reprice an entire sector.

Conventional data feeds are limited here. Narrative dynamics are fast, unstructured, and global. They cross languages, platforms, and networks.

[Edgen](https://www.edgen.tech/) brings these narratives into the same layer as financial data. **AI agents** monitor macro news, regulatory changes, social channels, and on-chain activity. **Sentiment and narrative models** then classify and connect this information. [**EDGM**](/edgen-litepaper/technical-principles/edgm-the-commander-model.md) links the results back to assets and sectors, mapping how narratives spread and where they gain traction.

This allows traders to see markets as they actually evolve: through the constant interaction of numbers and narratives, each reinforcing the other.
