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: 2026-10-28T10:01:00.000Z to 2026-10-30T06:31:00.000Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $11.868. High: $12.023. End: $11.132.
  • Detected Oct 29, 2026 · 20:46 UTC. Episode baseline $11.868 at Oct 28, 2026 · 10:01 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.
