Research markers

Why the volatility spike label?

Volatility spike describes the recorded price move. It does not identify its cause.

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: 2026-08-24T08:25:00.000Z to 2026-08-25T00:39:00.000Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $0.4495. High: $0.4795. End: $0.4595.
  • The volatility spike 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.
