The median rates displayed are based on what hotels are available right now (with some caching of course), i.e. what you would see if you did a search query for that date on Expedia.com.

Ah, so it is based on if you were to book right now. Is the intended use-case to avoid the event surges and get better prices for time-flexible trips?

Yes, that's the idea. :)
