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: 2026-08-12T15:51:43.056Z to 2026-08-13T19:59:43.056Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $0.031015. High: $0.032689. End: $0.022114.
  • The exchange outage 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.
