Supported assets:

BTC (Bitcoin)
ETH (Ethereum)
SOL (Solana)
XRP (Ripple)
SPX (S&P 500)
NDX (Nasdaq 100)

Supported intervals:

5M (5 minutes) - Requires HIGH_FREQ_UPDOWN_ENABLED=true
15M (15 minutes) - Requires HIGH_FREQ_UPDOWN_ENABLED=true
1H (1 hour)
4H (4 hours)
daily

Note: 5M and 15M intervals are disabled by default to reduce database load. Set HIGH_FREQ_UPDOWN_ENABLED=true in environment to enable them.
