Exactly what was counted3 conditions · 28 of 43,201 minutes · saved text
- Order book tilt 0.74 or higher. Size at the best bid against the best ask; above 0 means more bids, below 0 more asks.Book imbalance · top levels ≥ 0.74 · feature.book_imbalance
- Order book lopsidedness 0.081 or lower. How lopsided the sizes at the best bid and ask were, either way, against recent readings; low means unusually even.Book imbalance percentile ≤ 0.081 · feature.book_imbalance_pctrank

Read at 1 minute before the move.
Read at 20:59 UTC on 24 September, one minute before the selected 21:00 start.
SAGA only, 1 September to 30 September 2026 (UTC, ending 1 October 00:00); all 3 readings had values on 43,201 of those minutes.
Reference: every SAGA 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.
SAGAUSDT stored readings end 2026-10-01 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 study q#0937204c @ dataset c764b05a, counted 1 Oct 2026 09:40 UTC.
Saved summary text, as written 1 Oct 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 28 times in the 43,201 minutes searched. What followed was more often higher: 17 of the 28 matches with a complete 30 minutes forward rose (61%).
17 rose and 11 fell over 28 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 13 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.
It counts the single minute on 1 October as a day.
The other reading times, as written
From 15 minutes before
Minutes like this appeared only 7 times in the 43,201 minutes searched. What followed was more often lower: 5 of the 7 matches with a complete 30 minutes forward fell (71%).
2 rose and 5 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.
About 0.2 a day over 31 days, but 2026-09-26 alone holds 86% of them: this is close to a single episode.
From 1 hour before
Minutes like this appeared only 2 times in the 43,201 minutes searched. What followed was more often lower: 2 of the 2 matches with a complete 30 minutes forward fell (100%).
0 rose and 2 fell over 2 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 0.1 a day over 31 days, but 2026-09-24 alone holds 50% of them: this is close to a single episode.

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 SAGA minute.
