#btc Have you noticed that when 100 drops by 20%, it goes down to 80, but when it rises by 20% from 80, it only reaches 96? If it drops by 20% from 80, it goes down to 64. If it then rises by 20%, and again by 20%, it still won't reach 100. The difference is significant.

Continuous losses over several days lead to excessive losses, making them unable to resist opening contracts. Initially, they might open at 2x leverage, incur losses, think it will rise, and increase leverage to 3x or 5x, but still incur losses? They gamble and go all in at 10x, still incur losses? They borrow money and use margin to get to 20x; how can it keep falling?
