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: 2026-09-18T11:42:00.000Z to 2026-09-19T10:05:00.000Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $0.2145. High: $0.2352. End: $0.2234.
  • Detected Sep 18, 2026 · 11:43 UTC. Episode baseline $0.2145 at Sep 18, 2026 · 11:42 UTC.
  • 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.
