Read at 4 hours before the move.
Read at 23:00 UTC on 26 August, four hours before the selected 03:00 start.
PROM only, 4 August to 2 September 2026 (UTC, ending 3 September 00:00); all 3 readings had values on 43,201 of those minutes.
Reference: every PROM 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 03:00 start was picked automatically after the move.
PROMUSDT stored readings end 2026-09-03 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 4 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 48 times in the 43,201 minutes searched (0.1%). What followed was close to a coin flip: 24 rose and 24 fell over the next 30 minutes (48 of the 48 matches have a complete 30 minutes forward).
After 30 minutes this setup fell 2% or more in 7 of 48 complete windows (14.6%), against 6.9% with no condition (2,995 of 43,159): 2.10x.
This reports the time frame with the biggest gap from any minute, chosen after counting. Longer windows can run through the rise.
Best point inside 30 minutes reached +5% or more in 4 of 48 complete windows; worst point fell 5% or more in 3 of 48.
About 1.5 a day, on 19 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.

When the matches happened
Of the 48 matches, 21 came before the rise began, 14 during it and 13 after it.
