Read at 4 hours before the move.
Read at 05:00 UTC on 30 August, four hours before the selected 09:00 start.
FLOCK only, 5 August to 3 September 2026 (UTC, ending 4 September 00:00); all 3 readings had values on 43,201 of those minutes.
Reference: every FLOCK 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 09:00 start was picked automatically after the move.
FLOCKUSDT stored readings end 2026-09-04 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 5 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 23 times in the 43,201 minutes searched. What followed was more often lower: 14 of the 23 matches with a complete 30 minutes forward fell (61%).
9 rose and 14 fell over 23 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 0.7 a day, on 17 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.
It counts the single minute on 4 September as a day.
The other reading times, as written
From 1 minute before
Minutes like this appeared only 12 times in the 43,201 minutes searched. What followed was more often higher: 8 of the 12 matches with a complete 30 minutes forward rose (67%).
8 rose and 4 fell over 12 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 0.4 a day over 31 days, but 2026-08-19 alone holds 58% of them: this is close to a single episode.
From 1 hour before
Minutes like this appeared only 16 times in the 43,201 minutes searched. What followed was more often higher: 11 of the 15 matches with a complete 30 minutes forward rose (73%).
11 rose and 4 fell over 15 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 higher at each time frame: first the matches, then any FLOCK minute.
