ETH Was Still Falling

His phone screen always had a chart app open. He watched while eating, in meetings, while walking, even in the bathroom with sound on so he could hear the exchange push notifications: `Market moves fast. Stay alert.` He heard it so often that he started feeling as if he were truly alert all the time. In reality, he was already getting high on it. The stop-loss failure happened on a Thursday. At 10 a.m., ETH suddenly printed a long red candle and gave back all of the overnight recovery in just a few minutes. Pei Yanzhou stared at the price with only one thought: add margin first, don’t get liquidated. But after he added funds, the market simply paused at a lower level, as if it had waited for him to hand over all his bullets before moving again.
