Volume spike archive FAQ
What counts as a volume spike?
A market's one-minute volume at least several times its normal minute (the rolling median of the last hour), above a minimum dollar size, on any Binance, Bybit or Hyperliquid spot or perpetual market the scanner watches. × normal is that multiple; the table ranks the day's spikes by it.
What do the +5m, +15m and +1h columns show?
The price change 5, 15 and 60 minutes after each spike, measured on the same market. They are a record of what happened, not a prediction. On today's page they fill in as time passes.
Which time zone are the days in?
UTC. Each page covers 00:00 to 24:00 UTC. Today's page is still filling; past days are final.
