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: 2026-10-17T12:48:00.000Z to 2026-10-18T18:05:00.000Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $0.815. High: $0.8171. End: $0.7682.
  • Detected Oct 18, 2026 · 02:18 UTC. Episode baseline $0.815 at Oct 17, 2026 · 12:48 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.
