How much did ETHUSDT move?
Peak and net percentages use the recorded price baseline. For automated events, this can differ from the price at the start of the replay window. The short squeeze label describes the detected event class, so a later reversal changes the net move without silently changing the classification.

Liquidation figures describe reported venue snapshots; omitted orders are not reconstructed here. Price-extreme and wick times mark source candle buckets, not exact ticks.
