Reference
Every COLLECT minute from 12 August to 10 September 2026 with a 30-minute close, the 29 matches included; not a matched control group. 211 minutes at the end of the dates had no 30-minute close yet and are left out, not counted as zero.

Read at 1 hour before the move.

Read at 09:00 UTC on 5 September, one hour before the selected 10:00 start.

COLLECT only, 12 August to 10 September 2026 (UTC, ending 11 September 00:00); all 3 readings had values on 43,201 of those minutes.

Reference: every COLLECT minute over the same dates, matches included; it is not a matched control group.

Outcome: the close exactly 30 minutes later, not the highest or lowest price along the way.

The 10:00 start was picked automatically after the move.

COLLECTUSDT stored readings end 2026-09-11 00:00 UTC (exclusive). Prices and tick replay have separate coverage.

The feature manifest spans the lead-up. Individual minutes or inputs can still be unavailable.

This is not a similarity search. Each count matches the exact readings above and nothing else.

Picked in hindsight: the counts include every other time these readings appeared, not just this move.

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.

Saved summary text, as written 12 Sep 2026

Written automatically when this study was saved and kept as written; where a line differs from the counts above, the counts govern.

Minutes like this appeared only 29 times in the 43,201 minutes searched. What followed was close to a coin flip: 15 rose and 14 fell over the next 30 minutes (29 of the 29 matches have a complete 30 minutes forward).
15 rose and 14 fell over 29 complete 30m windows. Too few completed windows for a directional generalization. No horizon cleared the floor of 30 complete windows on both the setup and the reference, so no lift is claimed.
About 0.9 a day, on 11 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.

It counts the single minute on 11 September as a day.

The other reading times, as written

From 1 minute before

Minutes like this appeared only 9 times in the 43,168 minutes searched. What followed was more often higher: 6 of the 9 matches with a complete 30 minutes forward rose (67%).
6 rose and 3 fell over 9 complete 30m windows. Too few completed windows for a directional generalization. No horizon cleared the floor of 30 complete windows on both the setup and the reference, so no lift is claimed.
About 0.3 a day, on 9 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.

From 15 minutes before

Minutes like this appeared only 7 times in the 43,168 minutes searched. What followed was more often higher: 4 of the 7 matches with a complete 30 minutes forward rose (57%).
4 rose and 3 fell over 7 complete 30m windows. Too few completed windows for a directional generalization. No horizon cleared the floor of 30 complete windows on both the setup and the reference, so no lift is claimed.

Other time frames30 minutes to 7 days

The answer uses 30 minutes, the time frame this study counted by default. Each row counts the same matches at a later close, in both directions. The bars show how often price was 2% or more lower at each time frame: first the matches, then any COLLECT minute.

Two other reading times we tried 9 and 7 matches

1 minute before (09:59): order book lopsidedness 0.067 or lower, open interest change rank 0.93 or higher, volatility rank 0.99 or higher.

Book imbalance percentile ≤ 0.067 and OI velocity percentile ≥ 0.93 and Realized vol percentile ≥ 0.99

9 matches: price was 2% or more lower after 30 minutes in 2 of 9, and 2% or more higher in 4 of 9.

Of the 9 matches, 7 came before the fall began, 1 during it and 1 after it.

15 minutes before (09:45): order book lopsidedness 0.059 or lower, open interest change rank 0.97 or higher, volatility rank 0.99 or higher.

Book imbalance percentile ≤ 0.059 and OI velocity percentile ≥ 0.97 and Realized vol percentile ≥ 0.99

7 matches: price was 2% or more lower after 30 minutes in 2 of 7, and 2% or more higher in 2 of 7.

Of the 7 matches, 6 came before the fall began, 1 during it and 0 after it.

Fewer than 30 results, so no rate is printed.

No set had 30 matches before the fall; the saved study leads with the one that had the most.

Picked after the fall, on one market; the 29 matches came on 11 of 30 days, 5 during the fall.
