The readings: what TapeHawk's footprint and heatmap indicators recorded

ETHUSDT moved 1.99% to the downside over 57 minutes, from 2,497.46 at 22:09 UTC to 2,447.87 at 23:06 UTC, a range of 199 bps and 3.34 times its average hourly range. Three indicators recorded marks in the same move — a confluence. Sweeps on the heatmap chart recorded 24 marks on the sell side during the move, recording occasions when one aggressive order pushed a large amount of size through several price levels in a single motion. Volume Spikes on the heatmap chart recorded 21 marks on the sell side during the move, recording bursts of trading in which a large amount went through in a few seconds across several price levels, pointing the way of the side that traded more. Stop Runs on the heatmap chart recorded 20 marks on the sell side during the move, recording several aggressive orders in a row, all one direction, each starting where the last one stopped. On the candle chart, Relative Volume (RVOL) showed the volume of the bars reaching 24.80 times its recent average, so the move was traded heavily, not drifted into. Marks were denser during the move than in the minutes before it, at 1.36 times the day's normal, with 100 marks recorded in all during the move.
