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: 2026-08-24T19:28:23.015Z to 2026-08-25T23:28:31.486Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $0.148. High: $0.1862. End: $0.1257.
  • 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.
