BICOUSDT rose 59% into Aug 3. The record covers the whole lead-up.

Move window: 2026-08-01 18:00 to 2026-08-03 02:00 UTC. The record for BICOUSDT currently ends 2026-08-03 00:00 UTC.

This move ran past the end of the record, so the counts below cover the lead-up and the covered part of the move. The rest joins the record after tonight’s rebuild.

Book imbalance · top levels ≤ -0.59 and Containment · 15m inside and Cascade clustering ≥ 0.5

feature.book_imbalance + feature.candle_containment_15m + feature.cascade_clustering_index

Read at 1 minute before the move.

Minutes like this appeared 81 times in the 43,201 minutes searched (0.2%). What followed was close to a coin flip: 43 rose and 38 fell over the next 30 minutes (81 of the 81 matches have a complete 30 minutes forward).

Of the 81 fires, 77 came before the move began and 4 happened while it was already under way. A fire during the move sees it; it does not telegraph it.

About 2.6 a day, on 14 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.

WATCH FOR THIS Watch the ignition replay

Best supported: Book imbalance · top levels ≤ -0.59 and Containment · 15m inside and Cascade clustering ≥ 0.5, the combination with the most fires before the move began.

Opens this exact search in the research tool. Nothing runs until you confirm it there, and arming it as an alert sends a message when it next becomes true.

Picked in hindsight: the counts include every other time these readings appeared, not just this move.

What the minutes before it looked like

Where these readings were taken

Hourly candles. The marked lines are the minutes the readings came from: 1 minute, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours and 24 hours before the move began. Every one of them sits before the move, never inside it.

A reading stands out when it sits outside the range it usually holds. The rules are fixed: the same ones the moment reader on the research page uses.

At 1 minute before the move, 3 of the 33 readings stood out. 2026-08-01 17:59 UTC

This is not a similarity search. Each count matches the exact readings above and nothing else.

Containment · 15m inside and Cascade clustering ≥ 0.5 and OI velocity percentile ≥ 0.96

feature.candle_containment_15m + feature.cascade_clustering_index + feature.oi_velocity_pctrank

Read at 15 minutes before the move.

Minutes like this appeared only 19 times in the 43,181 minutes searched. What followed leaned up: 11 of the 19 matches with a complete 30 minutes forward rose (58%).

Of the 19 fires, 19 came before the move began; none were during it.

About 0.6 a day, on 11 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.

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.
