## Data Quality

**No gaps** -- the dataset is 100% complete with no missing minutes.

### Why start at May 2021?

Binance BTCUSDT 1-minute data is available from August 2017, but the earlier period (2017-2021) contains 31 maintenance gaps totaling 8,091 missing bars. Bybit minute-level data for BTCUSDT only starts from August 2021, making those earlier gaps unfillable. May 2021 is the earliest month after which all gaps can be backfilled from Bybit, providing a fully contiguous dataset.

### Backfilled bars

470 bars across three Binance maintenance windows were sourced from Bybit BTCUSDT spot. Bybit prices closely track Binance but may differ by a few dollars.
