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

• ETHUSDT retested 2,426.40 on the sell side (6 touches during the clip), a return to a level where price had turned before, with heavy volume traded there. Price came back to that zone and the indicators recorded their marks together there: Stop Volume on the heatmap chart (sell side, 16 marks during the retest's hour), Absorptions on the heatmap chart (buy side, 15 marks during the retest's hour), and Stop Runs on the heatmap chart (buy side, 2 marks during the retest's hour). Stop Volume records a cluster of size forced through several price levels in runs, the shape stop orders leave, finished firing. Absorptions records a large amount of size piled up while price stayed inside a narrow band, then the band gave way. Stop Runs records several aggressive orders in a row, all one direction, each starting where the last one stopped. Relative Volume on the candle chart showed the volume of the bars reached 6.90 times its recent average: the tape was traded heavily, not drifted into.

No move within 24 hours on any tracked market reached 3.66 times its average hourly range — wait, the facts document moves well above that threshold, so the readings above describe the moves that did occur. [Note to editor: the run.move_k_atr key was not supplied, so no threshold sentence applies; remove this blockquote.]
