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: 2026-10-03T17:10:00.000Z to 2026-10-05T13:47:00.000Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $4.7. High: $5.195. End: $5.008.
  • Detected Oct 5, 2026 · 05:38 UTC. Episode baseline $4.7 at Oct 3, 2026 · 17:10 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.
