What the Magnet Field Showed BEFORE the Cascade

Snapshot: 2026-10-24T15:08:08Z, 3 minutes before cascade start. Anchor price at snapshot: $2,323.54

Model calibration (per-symbol): - precision@N (OOS) = 79.9% (n=352, CI 95% lower bound: 75.3%) | walk-forward window: 720h Calibrated: 2026-10-24T16:08:22Z

What this means: The predictive-liquidation model places levels in the top N ranked zones that matched real liquidation clusters in 80% of OOS evaluation windows (n=352, CI 95% lower bound: 75.3%). This is the measured zone-accuracy, not a forecast of whether a cascade will start.

Level assessment: 19 REACHED / 6 MISSED (both shown; misses are never hidden)

Caveats: These are predicted liquidation cluster ZONES from our walk-forward calibrated model, not leaked order-book data, not single prices but band estimates. REACHED = actual cascade price range came within 0.5% of the predicted level. MISSED levels are shown at equal weight: both reaches and misses are counted, never cherry-picked. The measured calibration (with n= and 95% CI lower bound) is stated in the Model calibration section above.

Venue Breakdown

Our tape covers multiple venues independently: cross-venue coverage is the moat.

Venues active: binance, bitfinex, bybit, deribit, dydx, gateio, hyperliquid, kraken_fut, okx

(Per-venue USD breakdown available via the live API at /market/cascade_autopsy. The tape covers all venues simultaneously, so the cascade was multi-exchange.)

Contagion Propagation

Historical co-fire correlation: NOT causal evidence. Shared macro shocks produce simultaneous liquidations across symbols. Minimum 3 co-fire samples required to appear.

Responder Co-fire n Shock Beta Same-bar Move Next-bar Move
ARBUSDT 7 1.38 -1.01% -0.45%
OPUSDT 7 1.06 -0.77% -0.06%
SOLUSDT 7 0.78 -0.55% -0.12%
LINKUSDT 7 0.65 -0.91% -0.09%

Interpretation: symbols with shock_beta > 1.0 historically moved MORE than the source symbol during similar cascade events. This is a historical observation (n shown per pair), not a forecast of future co-movement.

Accuracy Metadata

Your Take

Is your bag on this list? ETHUSDT, BTCUSDT, SOLUSDT were the symbols hit hardest in this cascade. Were you watching the long level at $2,304.37? It graded REACHED on our tape. Reply with the symbol and level you had on - reaches and misses both count here, and telling us where the model was wrong makes the next autopsy better.
