1000PEPEUSDT short squeeze on August 20, 2026

1000PEPEUSDT rose as much as 16.8% and finished 14.1% above its recorded baseline.

Corrected 11 Oct 2026. This event's starting price was recorded from a stale reference, which overstated its move. Measured from the window's first one-minute open, the move does not reach the base threshold for its original label, so it is no longer listed. The recording and replay are unchanged.

How these numbers are measured

Peak and net moves start from the recorded baseline, which can differ from the replay's first price.

Liquidations are reported venue snapshots; orders a venue left out are not rebuilt.

Exact definitions
  • Replay window: 2026-08-20T22:09:27.807Z to 2026-08-21T10:51:27.814Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $0.0031958. High: $0.0037327. End: $0.0036472.
  • The short squeeze label describes the detected event class, so a later reversal changes the net move without silently changing the classification.
  • Price-extreme and wick times mark the source candle, not the exact tick.
