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: 2026-10-29T18:36:00.000Z to 2026-10-30T23:51:00.000Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $80,594.1. High: $80,916.8. End: $77,261.2.
  • Detected Oct 30, 2026 · 18:53 UTC. Episode baseline $80,594 at Oct 29, 2026 · 18:36 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.
