Checking readings…
A decision time that has not been read recently can take several seconds.
A decision time that has not been read recently can take several seconds.
These readings describe the minute, not what followed.
The automatic start is the last covered hourly candle touching the bottom 5% of the episode range (top 5% for a fall), measured using the eventual extreme. It is a hindsight anchor, not a detected causal onset. Change the start above to inspect a later acceleration. The end marks the hour containing the price extreme, not an exact tick. The feature manifest spans the lead-up. Individual minutes or inputs can still be unavailable.
The earlier snapshots are still being read.
Reads 15 sampled minutes from the selected start to one hour after the end, with extra samples in the peak hour: separate snapshots, not a continuous tape or an advance-warning test.
No additional reads have run.
Historical access applies. Missing values stay unavailable; liquidations are Binance publications, not venue totals; the OI score is an absolute USD change, not signed contract growth.
Still counting. The comparison appears here when it finishes.

Highlighted cells meet the printed fixed rule. This does not establish rarity, statistical significance or a cause of the move. Book imbalance and spread describe the best quotes; depth cost and pull describe recorded full-depth inputs where present; liquidation readings describe what the venue reported.

Reference: every eligible minute in the same market and dates, the matching minutes included. It is not a control group. The 30-window reporting floor is not a significance test. Overlapping windows and shared market events can reduce independent evidence. Conditions were selected after seeing this move; confirmation needs unseen data.
Starting defaults: 2026-08-30 to 2026-09-29 UTC; finishes up 2% or more after 1 hour. Review or change the markets, dates, conditions and outcome before running. Current recorded classification and sector tags, not point-in-time membership. Historical membership may differ.

Read at 24 hours before the decision.
Of the 135 fires, 106 came before the move began; none were during it.
About 4.4 a day, on 14 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.
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.
Read at 1 minute before the decision.
1 rose and 2 fell over 3 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.
Of the 3 fires, 3 came before the move began; none were during it.
About 0.1 a day over 31 days, but 2026-09-21 alone holds 67% of them: this is close to a single episode.
Read at 4 hours before the decision.
1 rose and 3 fell over 4 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.
Of the 4 fires, 2 came before the move began and 1 happened while it was already under way. A fire during the move sees it; it does not telegraph it.
