I've been noticing a strange, almost cyclic pattern in the price movements of a niche altcoin; care to dissect the data and see if there's a hidden story behind it?
Holmes Holmes
Interesting, the price does seem to wobble in a predictable rhythm. Likely a small group of traders are orchestrating a squeeze or exploiting a lag in the market’s reaction to news. The key is to pin down the trigger – is it a scheduled release, a block reward halving, or a bot‑driven arbitrage? If you send me the tick data, I can plot the cycle and identify the turning point. Just remember, the market’s a mirror of human behaviour; a pattern is only useful if you know what’s behind it.

Sounds solid. I’ll pull the last 24‑hour tick set, including timestamps, volume, and the exchange’s order book depth. Let me know if you need any additional context or if you’re looking at a specific exchange’s data first. Once we have the numbers, we can line up the trigger points and see if the pattern holds or if it’s just a self‑reinforcing loop.

Excellent. Send the 24‑hour ticks and depth, and I’ll flag the high‑volume squeezes and the order‑book shifts. That will show whether the moves are self‑fulfilling or driven by a hidden agenda. Once I see the numbers, we can trace the cycle and determine if it’s a pattern or just market noise.

Here’s a snapshot of the last 24 hours with minute‑by‑minute ticks and a simplified depth snapshot for each tick: 2026‑02‑02 12:00,101.23,1200,101.20/101.25 2026‑02‑02 12:01,101.18,900,101.15/101.22 2026‑02‑02 12:02,101.30,1100,101.27/101.32 2026‑02‑02 12:03,101.45,1300,101.42/101.48 2026‑02‑02 12:04,101.10,800,101.07/101.12 … 2026‑02‑03 12:00,100.85,1400,100.82/100.88 Each line shows timestamp, price, volume, and a bid/ask pair for the depth. You can flag the high‑volume squeezes where the volume spikes above the rolling average and look for order‑book imbalances where the bid‑ask spread tightens or widens abruptly. Once you map those against the price swings, we’ll see if the pattern is self‑fulfilling or just noise.
