Read at 1 hour before the move.

Minutes like this appeared only 10 times in the 43,201 minutes searched. What followed leaned down: 7 of the 10 matches with a complete 30 minutes forward fell (70%).

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 10 fires, 7 came before the move began; none were during it.

About 0.3 a day, on 7 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.

What the minutes before it looked like

Where these readings were taken

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, 4 of the 39 readings stood out. 2026-08-04 23:59 UTC

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.
