      "Nothing in the evidence (news, onchain flows, exchange transfers) explains the drop; the causes listed are inferences.",
      "The move is small (~1.3%) and happened right at the end of the window, so it may be incomplete or reverse.",

    "summary": "AVAX held flat at about $9.86–9.89 for most of the window, then dropped to $9.74 around 21:15–21:30 UTC. That puts it -1.22% for the window and about -1.3% in the last 15 minutes, a move 2.7–2.9x its usual 1h size. Binance spot volume was modestly elevated (1.4x a typical hour) and futures open interest dipped 1.1%. Liquidations were negligible and BTC/ETH barely moved, so the evidence does not identify a specific cause.",
