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: 2026-08-21T18:30:27.807Z to 2026-08-22T06:30:41.610Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $0.08944. High: $0.1119. End: $0.10945.
  • The long 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.
