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: 2026-10-03T14:06:00.000Z to 2026-10-05T14:44:00.000Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $0.02363. High: $0.0856. End: $0.04797.
  • Detected Oct 3, 2026 · 14:44 UTC. Episode baseline $0.02363 at Oct 3, 2026 · 14:06 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.
