Read at 1 hour before the move.

Read at 20:00 UTC on 5 September, one hour before the selected 21:00 start.

IOST 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 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 21:00 start was picked automatically after the move.

IOSTUSDT 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 21 times in the 43,201 minutes searched. What followed was more often higher: 14 of the 21 matches with a complete 30 minutes forward rose (67%).
14 rose and 7 fell over 21 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 15 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

Minutes like this appeared only 5 times in the 43,201 minutes searched. What followed was more often higher: 5 of the 5 matches with a complete 30 minutes forward rose (100%).
5 rose and 0 fell over 5 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.

Minutes like this appeared only 9 times in the 43,201 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.

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.

Two other reading times we tried 5 and 9 matches

1 minute before (20:59): order book lopsidedness 0.087 or lower, 1-hour range against usual 2.4 or higher, 4-hour range against usual 3.5 or higher.

Book imbalance percentile ≤ 0.087 and the last one-hour candle range versus its baseline ≥ 2.4 and the last four-hour candle range versus its baseline ≥ 3.5

Of the 5 matches, 4 came before the rise began, 1 during it and 0 after it.

15 minutes before (20:45): order book tilt -0.58 or lower, order book lopsidedness 0.058 or lower, 1-hour range against usual 2.4 or higher.

Book imbalance · top levels ≤ -0.58 and Book imbalance percentile ≤ 0.058 and the last one-hour candle range versus its baseline ≥ 2.4

9 matches: price was 2% or more higher after 30 minutes in 3 of 9, and 2% or more lower in 0 of 9.

Of the 9 matches, 6 came before the rise began, 3 during it and 0 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.
