The lane
A Price Surges alert means price moved sharply inside a short window.
Price and volume spikes are common on BNB Chain. Most fade within hours. Zeus Call keeps the Price Surges feed open to measure how many do not.
For Zeus Call, momentum alerts show that something is moving, not why. Zeus Call reads Price Surges on BNB Chain as a question: who is driving the move, and can the pool absorb it?
Quick test: Check whether the move started before or after the first public call. Look at how many distinct buyers joined during the move, not only the volume total.
