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: 2026-10-16T13:03:00.000Z to 2026-10-17T06:02:00.000Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $5.234. High: $5.289. End: $5.076.
  • Detected Oct 16, 2026 · 13:04 UTC. Episode baseline $5.234 at Oct 16, 2026 · 13:03 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.
