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: 2026-10-09T22:00:00.000Z to 2026-10-11T22:00:00.000Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $0.032676. High: $0.036397. End: $0.012566.
  • Detected Sep 25, 2026 · 16:25 UTC. Episode baseline $0.01782 at Sep 22, 2026 · 22:00 UTC.
  • The liquidation cascade 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.
