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: 2026-09-03T14:21:01.281Z to 2026-09-03T22:21:01.281Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $0.013069. High: $0.017755. End: $0.015692.
  • 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.
