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: 2026-08-26T14:24:08.284Z to 2026-08-27T18:37:08.285Z.
  • Recorded baseline: $1.3807. High: $1.4733. End: $1.4422.
  • 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.
