Anomalies

Volume surges dominate the pulse feed today (5 flagged, top severity 100):

  • Dragonstone bolt tips — severity 100, -0.21%
  • Volcanic ash — severity 100, -1.11%
  • Tarromin — severity 99, +1.14%
  • Adamant bolts(unf) — severity 99, -1.48%
  • Amethyst — severity 99, +0.52%

Note: Volcanic ash also shows a small daily gain (+0.22%) in top movers — the surge pct above reflects a shorter anomaly window, not a contradiction.

Alch arbitrage
