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: 2026-10-23T01:38:00.000Z to 2026-10-24T22:33:00.000Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $0.02219. High: $0.50406. End: $0.04343.
  • Detected Oct 24, 2026 · 20:24 UTC. Episode baseline $0.02219 at Oct 23, 2026 · 01:38 UTC.
  • The short squeeze 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.
