Not financial advice. A past move does not tell you the next one.

How this is counted

A time starts when whales trade far more BTC in one hour than is normal for it, after at least six quiet hours. We note the price at the end of that hour, then one hour, four hours and one day later. Within half a percent either way is about flat.

Prices are our own hourly prices across exchanges where we hold them. For an hour we do not hold, they are Hyperliquid's hourly prices, and that time is then counted on Hyperliquid's prices from start to finish, never a mix: 5 of the 15 times here, each marked in the table.

No price means neither has a price for that moment. It is left out of the counts and never treated as a move.
