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: 2026-10-17T11:16:00.000Z to 2026-10-18T02:03:00.000Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $0.8267. High: $0.8268. End: $0.7952.
  • Detected Oct 17, 2026 · 11:30 UTC. Episode baseline $0.8267 at Oct 17, 2026 · 11:16 UTC.
  • The liquidation cascade 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.
