Crimea
A Black Sea peninsula, internationally recognized as part of Ukraine, occupied and annexed by Russia in 2014.
Coverage of Crimea is holding steady : 2 signals on the latest tracked day, level with its three-week baseline of 2, across 1 domains. That makes it the #347 most-covered of the 348 concerns we track.
Crimea is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 2 signals a day across 1 domain. A real move would be a day at 3+ signals — 25% above that baseline, the bar our trend read calls accelerating — or a spread into domains beyond its usual 1. That is the move that would push it up the Wire.
