OPUSDT long squeeze on August 21, 2026

OPUSDT rose as much as 20.6% and finished 14.2% above its recorded baseline.

Corrected 11 Oct 2026. This event's starting price was recorded from a stale reference, which overstated its move. Measured from the window's first one-minute open, the move does not reach the base threshold for its original label, so it is no longer listed. The recording and replay are unchanged.
