Live condition · historical base rate

OI accelerating into liquidations

Open-interest velocity above its own 90th percentile while at least $1M of liquidation notional printed in the trailing hour.

What is open interest?

Firing now (provisional, current bucket)

The live read is not yet enabled. This surface reports the historical base rates below; the firing-now list turns on when the live evaluator is connected.

What has happened when it held

Historically, when OI accelerating into liquidations held (744 occurrences in the scanned window, 726 with a computable 24h horizon), the market reached +5% within 24h in 229 of 726 (31.5) and drew down 10%+ in 32 of 726 (4.4). Maximum favorable (MFE) and maximum adverse (MAE) excursions, both computed forward.

WINDOWMOVE SIZE

🔒 Measured after every match, never by keeping winners. 743 of the matches have a complete 1 hour forward; the other 1 are too recent to know.

What are MFE and MAE?

Why 7 days can show fewer than 1 hour: a match too recent for a complete 7 days is left out of that count entirely, even if it already reached the level within 1 hour. The two counts cover different sets of matches.

When they happened - one bar per UTC day, all 744 matches

About 24 a day, on 30 of 31 days: spread through the record rather than one event.

Where the next 30 minutes landed - 744 measured, 0 too recent

Forward 30-minute returns across 744 matches: 56% of them finished up.

How to read a distribution

Upside reached · 24hThe most price moved up within 24h of each occurrence: a high-water mark, never a close. 726 with a complete 24h.

Drawdown · 24hThe worst price moved against within 24h of each occurrence: the deepest point, never the close. 726 with a complete 24h.

Versus baseline

Historically, when any eligible minute in the window (baseline) held (29,678,415 occurrences in the scanned window, 26,615,256 with a computable 24h horizon), the market reached +5% within 24h in 7,725,205 of 26,615,256 (29.0) and drew down 10%+ in 1,640,417 of 26,615,256 (6.2). Maximum favorable (MFE) and maximum adverse (MAE) excursions, both computed forward.

How to read this

Counts ship with denominators: occurrences across the eligible symbol-buckets scanned. A rate is over the occurrences with a computable horizon (present), never the total.
Absent is absent. When a feature was not warm at a minute, that bucket leaves the denominator and is reported; it is never coerced to zero.
This selects a setup, never its outcome. The grammar forbids filtering on what followed (OUTCOME_IN_PREDICATE), so the distribution below is over every occurrence, not a survivorship-picked subset.

Occurrences are observed examples in a selected archive, not a guarantee. Outcomes are computed forward from each anchor and are descriptive, never a filter and never a prediction. Nothing here is trading advice.
