End-of-Market Prices Don't Tell the Story

Most datasets give you open and close. We give you every tick from 2,600+ Bitcoin 5-minute markets.

Panic Thresholds

Identify when BTC 5m markets hit extreme pricing (≤30¢). Study how often panic levels occur, at what TTE, and which side is affected.

Recovery Patterns

Measure velocity of price reversion after panic events. How quickly do markets recover? What's the distribution of recovery times?

TTE Effects

Analyze how behavior changes as expiry approaches. How do prices behave in the final 60 seconds? Where do inefficiencies persist?
