Reference
Every IOST minute from 13 August to 11 September 2026 with a 30-minute close, the 36 matches included; not a matched control group. 776 minutes at the end of the dates had no 30-minute close yet and are left out, not counted as zero.

29 of 36 were not 2% or more higher.
Not a trading test

Read at 1 hour before the move.

Read at 22:00 UTC on 5 September, one hour before the selected 23:00 start.

IOST only, 13 August to 11 September 2026 (UTC, ending 12 September 00:00); all 3 readings had values on 43,201 of those minutes.

Reference: every IOST 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 23:00 start was picked automatically after the move.

IOSTUSDT stored readings end 2026-09-12 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 36 times in the 43,201 minutes searched (<0.1%). What followed was more often higher: 23 of the 36 matches with a complete 30 minutes forward rose (64%).
After 30 minutes this setup rose 2% or more in 7 of 36 complete windows (19.4%), against 4.5% with no condition (1,906 of 42,425): 4.33x.

This reports the time frame with the biggest gap from any minute, chosen after counting. At least 11 of its 36 windows overlap the rise.

Best point inside 30 minutes reached +5% or more in 4 of 36 complete windows; worst point fell 5% or more in 3 of 36.
About 1.2 a day, on 9 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.

It counts the single minute on 12 September as a day.

The other reading times, as written

From 1 minute before

Minutes like this appeared only 20 times in the 43,201 minutes searched. What followed was more often higher: 13 of the 20 matches with a complete 30 minutes forward rose (65%).
13 rose and 7 fell over 20 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 0.6 a day, on 9 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.

From 15 minutes before

Minutes like this appeared only 14 times in the 43,201 minutes searched. What followed was more often higher: 8 of the 14 matches with a complete 30 minutes forward rose (57%).
8 rose and 6 fell over 14 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 0.5 a day, on 8 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.

Picked after the rise, on one market; the 36 matches came on 9 of 30 days, 11 during the rise.

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 IOST minute.

0%100%

The saved summary picked, after counting, the time frame with the biggest gap from any minute: 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes this setup rose 2% or more in 7 of 36 complete windows (19.4%), against 4.5% with no condition (1,906 of 42,425): 4.33x.

At least 11 of those windows ran through the rise itself, so it partly counts the rise as an outcome.

Along the way (the highest and lowest price inside 30 minutes, not the close):

Best point inside 30 minutes reached +5% or more in 4 of 36 complete windows; worst point fell 5% or more in 3 of 36.

Picked after the rise, on one market; the 36 matches came on 9 of 30 days, 11 during the rise.

Book imbalance · top levels ≤ -0.64 and Book imbalance percentile ≥ 0.91 and the last four-hour candle range versus its baseline ≥ 3.5

20 matches: price was 2% or more higher after 30 minutes in 1 of 20, and 2% or more lower in 0 of 20.

Of the 14 matches, 8 came before the rise began, 5 during it and 1 after it.

Fewer than 30 results, so no rate is printed.

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

Picked after the rise, on one market; the 36 matches came on 9 of 30 days, 11 during the rise.
