How to read this
A liquidation cluster is where leveraged positions get force-closed if price reaches that level. Dense clusters act as fuel: price reaching them triggers forced flow in the same direction. This is descriptive positioning context from a measured cross-venue tape (about 15 venues), not a forecast and not a trade signal. Every number above is graded, not estimated; provenance is published on every level in the live product.
Measured capture on ETHUSDT — with its sample size
Measured, walk-forward and out-of-sample: of ETHUSDT liquidation events landing more than 3% off spot, 96.0% fell inside bands we had published in advance — Wilson 95% lower bound 95.6% on n=9,144 independent events (1-day horizon, event-weighted and de-overlapped).
Against the baseline: the trivial no-skill baseline on the same events is 96.0%, and the model's 95% CI floor does not clear it on this symbol yet. We publish that too — the record includes the symbols where the edge is not yet proven.
This is descriptive history, not a forecast, and it is the same governed tuple behind the public proof page — the one-way ratchet floor may only hold or rise, never silently regress.
