Research markers

Why the volatility spike label?

These observations support the label. They do not show what caused the move or who started it.

No cause signal cleared the confidence threshold in this window; labelled by price shape only.

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: 2026-10-18T05:24:00.000Z to 2026-10-19T03:22:00.000Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $0.7855. High: $0.8076. End: $0.7786.
  • Detected Oct 18, 2026 · 19:33 UTC. Episode baseline $0.7855 at Oct 18, 2026 · 05:24 UTC.
  • The volatility spike 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.
