where attention is emerging · retail + institutional
⚠ IF THE BIG BOYS ARE IN, YOU'RE LATE.
Narratives flagged CROWDED are already mainstream — heavy news coverage + a price that already ran. That is the distribution zone, not the entry. The edge is in EMERGING: rising curiosity, quiet media, price still flat.
Data sources (all free, keyless, CORS-open — no proxy needed for attention): 1) Wikipedia Pageviews (primary, daily, back to 2015) → 2) GDELT 2.0 (news-coverage volume) → 3) Hacker News (grassroots/tech curiosity). The price/late axis uses your existing Yahoo proxy worker via ?s=TICKER (read-only; leave blank to skip). Edit the NARRATIVES array in the source to tune the taxonomy — that is the IP, same as OVERLOOK's SIG object.

Where the attention went — snapshots
Top narratives by self-normalised heat at each point in time. Read it left→right to watch the rotation. (Heat = window attention ÷ that narrative's own 3-yr median, so it surfaces what was disproportionately hot then, not just what's always big.)
● EMERGING rising + quiet + flat price● HEATING confirmed uptrend● CROWDED mainstream + ran = late● FADING rolling over● DORMANT nothing here
