Liquidation cascade, then a reclaim

An elevated liquidation burst followed within 30 minutes by a 15-minute candle that swept lows and reclaimed them.

What is a liquidation?

Recorded window: 4 Oct 2026 to 2 Nov 2026 (UTC). Counted 3 Nov 2026 at 08:37 UTC.

Read it in context

  1. On one market

    Each market page compares that market with its own minutes, not with every market at once.

  2. Test it, then plan it

    Narrow it to your markets and dates in the Workbench. A tested result leads to Plan a trade, which measures what trading it would have paid after costs.

By market

No market has its own page for this condition yet. Pages are rebuilt nightly for the most-traded markets with at least 20 matches.

Every market pooled, without context

What happened in the next 24 hours?

Other minutes are the same markets and dates without this condition. Each percentage is the share of measured minutes that reached that move from the starting price.

Price can touch both levels within the same 24 hours.

Every matching minute counts, so one long run adds many near-identical minutes. Busy markets weigh most.

Every condition is measured over the same 24 hours, whatever the length of its own reading. Other windows and move sizes shows shorter and longer windows.

This counts how often price touched a level, not what trading it would have paid.

Sample and counting

Rates use the 547 of 553 matches, pooled across 523 markets, with a full 24 hours after them. The 6 newer ones are left out, not counted as zero.

Each window counts only matches old enough for it, so a longer window can show fewer.

How this is counted
  • Each rate counts only matches with the full window after them.
  • A minute where a reading was missing is left out and reported, not read as zero.
  • The condition picks the setup, never the outcome: a definition that filters on what followed is rejected (OUTCOME_IN_PREDICATE). Every match is measured, winners and losers alike.
  • "Other minutes" is every other eligible minute in the same markets and window. It is a reference, not a control group.
  • "Reached +5%" uses the highest price inside the window (maximum favourable excursion, MFE); "fell to −10%" uses the lowest (maximum adverse excursion, MAE). Neither is the close.
  • Checked 21,708,448 eligible market-minutes (eligible_symbol_buckets) on 523 markets, 2026-10-04 00:00 to 2026-11-03 00:00 UTC.
  • These counts pool every market, so markets that match often weigh more. Each market page compares that market with its own reference.
  • Live status is not connected yet, so this page is recorded history only.
