When most of the crowd is long, what happens next?

Readings in this definition: global long ratio. Each page states the exact rule, its limits and what it does not prove.

After 30 minutes this setup fell 2% or more in 1,793 of 59,105 complete windows (3.0%), against 1.9% with no condition (5,826,103 of 309,306,062): 1.61x.

Best point inside 30 minutes reached +5% or more in 638 of 60,277 complete windows; worst point fell 5% or more in 735 of 60,277.

Reference rates are what the record did anyway: all eligible minutes across the same 844 markets and the same window, with no condition and no matching, read by the same rule at every horizon.

What followed, by horizon. Each cell is a count over the matches with a complete window at that horizon, then its rate. Under it, the same division over every eligible minute in the same markets and window with no condition, and the ratio between the two when both sides hold at least 30 complete windows. Closed means the price at the end of the horizon; high point and low point are the best and worst price touched inside it. The pinned bytes hold counts per rung, not the mean or median return, so no expectancy is printed here; that needs a summary addition on the engine side.

How many matches each market contributed, over the minutes actually scanned there. The rate is matches per 10,000 scanned minutes, a frequency of the setup and not a result. What followed is summarized above over all matches together; the pinned result carries no per-market outcome summary, so none is claimed here.

Outcome diagnostics

Headline split (mfe_1h)
1,208 of 60,275 (2.0%) traded 5% or more above the match at some point within 1h (mfe_1h, a high-water mark and not a close). 59,067 of 60,275 did not. Measured forward from each match. 1,365 absent, excluded from the denominator.
Peak day and span
Busiest day 2025-07-15: 419 of 61,640 matches (0.7%). 417 UTC days scanned: 400 with matches, 17 with none.

1 clause · 1 scope
How this is counted
feature.global_long_ratio ≥ 0.7. the chips at the top of the page are this definition, verbatim.
EXECUTION
edge-triggered · 1m UTC grid
How this is counted
the predicate becomes true having been false; sequences chain greedy-earliest and anchor at completion; episode dedupe PT1H. deterministic at every worker count.
DENOMINATORS
321,932,326 of 505,590,604
How this is counted
eligible market-minutes scanned (one market for one minute) across 844 markets; 183,658,278 excluded where a measurement was not yet available - missing data shrinks the denominator, it never counts as zero; 53197 market-days excluded by the source ledger. counts are matches within the scanned window, never a base rate.
OUTCOMES
forward from anchor · in-scan
How this is counted
closed threshold list ±0/0/1/1/2/5/10/15/20/30/50/100/200/400 pct, 28 fixed buckets across 12 forward metrics, computed over all occurrences pre-paging. an outcome absent at the record edge (horizon incomplete) is counted, never truncated or implied zero. nothing on this page is filterable by outcome. nothing here is a guarantee or trading advice.
OBSERVATION SCOPE
setup as-of anchor
How this is counted
setup values are as-of the anchor bucket close (point-in-time freeze); window aggregates cover their stated pre-anchor duration; every value the predicate consulted is at or before the anchor.
PIN
pinned 2026-09-05 · 61640
How this is counted
the pinned result (counts, page-1 rows, outcomes, outcomes summary) never mutates. later dataset revisions are new runs, never merged.
SORT
times.anchor_time asc
How this is counted
the only record sort in v2.0; page limit 50. the pinned rows are page 1 of 61,640 - charts and rates derive from the summary over all occurrences, never from the page.

These are counts of what happened in the scanned window, not a promise it happens again. Nothing here is trading advice.
