Read at 1 minute before the move.

Minutes like this appeared 69 times in the 43,201 minutes searched (0.2%). What followed leaned down: 47 of the 69 matches with a complete 30 minutes forward fell (68%).

Both are true: these readings sat before this rise, and the other times they appeared, what followed more often fell. That disagreement is the finding: a lead-up that looks special is not the same as one that usually comes before rises.

Of the 69 fires, 56 came before the move began; none were during it.

About 2.2 a day, on 16 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.

Hourly candles. The marked lines are the minutes the readings came from: 1 minute, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours and 24 hours before the move began. Every one of them sits before the move, never inside it.

A reading stands out when it sits outside the range it usually holds. The rules are fixed: the same ones the moment reader on the research page uses.

At 1 minute before the move, 3 of the 39 readings stood out. 2026-08-08 10:59 UTC

Read at 15 minutes before the move.

Minutes like this appeared only 4 times in the 43,201 minutes searched. What followed leaned down: 3 of the 4 matches with a complete 30 minutes forward fell (75%).

Both are true: these readings sat before this rise, and the other times they appeared, what followed more often fell. That disagreement is the finding: a lead-up that looks special is not the same as one that usually comes before rises.

Of the 4 fires, 2 came before the move began; none were during it.

About 0.1 a day, on 4 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.

Read at 1 hour before the move.

Minutes like this appeared 131 times in the 43,201 minutes searched (0.3%). What followed leaned down: 85 of the 130 matches with a complete 30 minutes forward fell (65%).

Both are true: these readings sat before this rise, and the other times they appeared, what followed more often fell. That disagreement is the finding: a lead-up that looks special is not the same as one that usually comes before rises.

Of the 131 fires, 113 came before the move began and 1 happened while it was already under way. A fire during the move sees it; it does not telegraph it.

About 4.2 a day, on 26 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.

q#4dcaed7c @ dataset de1f6756

Fires often arrive as clusters of consecutive minutes, and forward windows overlap. A cluster is one episode, not many independent trials.

If these counts read weaker than the move suggested, that is the tool working: the lead-up of a picked move always looks special until it is counted everywhere else.

Every night the record counts what fired and what usually followed: the daily brief.
