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: 2026-08-14T03:07:03.774Z to 2026-08-15T07:07:03.774Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $0.0074119. High: $0.0163. End: $0.009551.
  • 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.
