Why the volatility spike label?
These observations support the label. They do not show what caused the move or who started it.
No cause signal in range, shape only; replay to judge it.

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.

- Recorded baseline: $0.3202. High: $0.3254. End: $0.3137.

- Price-extreme and wick times mark the source candle, not the exact tick.
