Methodology
The chart is built from the curve's Buy and
Sell events. Each candle price is
virtualUsdc / virtualToken immediately after the trade — the same
figure the curve uses when computing state, so the chart cannot drift from the contract. Volume counts gross
USDC per trade, and whale sizes are measured against the curve's current reserves. The same scan that shapes
the candles feeds the graduation estimate: when a velocity snapshot exists it is preferred, otherwise the
estimate comes from net USDC inflow over the observed window, and the confidence label reflects how much data
backed it.
