When price reached levels we published in advance
Conditional on price REACHING a level we published in advance, how often the liquidation cluster was actually there. Not a forecast that price will travel there.

|---|---|---|---|
| 0-2% away | 60.7% | 8,024 | [59.7%, 61.8%] |
| 2-5% away | 78.0% | 2,065 | [76.2%, 79.8%] |

(Record window: trailing 7 days of published levels; a band renders only with n≥30 reached levels.)
Method note
Excluded from every aggregate above: BTCUSDT, mean event size >10x the corpus median. The stored qty_usd is price*raw_qty, which overstates instruments that have a contract multiplier. Named, not hidden.
