About 2.9 a day, on 21 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.

Read at 1 hour before the move.
Read at 07:00 UTC on 7 August, one hour before the selected 08:00 start.
TST only, 15 July to 13 August 2026 (UTC, ending 14 August 00:00); all 3 readings had values on 43,201 of those minutes.
Reference: every TST 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 08:00 start was picked automatically after the move.
TSTUSDT stored readings end 2026-08-14 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.

When the matches happened
Of the 90 matches, 88 came before the rise began, 0 during it and 2 after it.
Neighbouring minutes overlap, so these are not 90 separate trials.

7 matches.
Of the 7 matches, 6 came before the rise began, 1 during it and 0 after it.

10 matches.
Of the 10 matches, 6 came before the rise began, 4 during it and 0 after it.
Fewer than 30 results, so no rate is printed.
The saved study leads with 07:00 because it is the only set with at least 30 matches before the rise.
