The performance of US stock index futures these past two days has indeed been shocking—down 400 points yesterday and another 300 points today. Some people thought the spot market would drop by 700 points directly, but they were corrected by netizens: this is not simple addition, but an overlapping effect. Someone complained that if you don't understand futures, you'd better not play with Nasdaq, to avoid embarrassment.

Speaking of which, when futures fluctuate, the spot market immediately follows. The performance of BTC in the past two days clearly shows this—when US stock futures plummeted, Bitcoin was not spared, and it even dropped repeatedly in fear. The market's level of correlation can be felt from this round of volatility. Many traders are praying for a quick rebound and rally, as everyone seems a bit nervous from this round of adjustment. Now, it all depends on whether the market can stabilize—whether it will rebound or continue to probe lower—that's the key.

The 700-point stacking effect can't even be calculated, and you're still daring to chase the Nasdaq? On-chain data shows that big players quietly started building positions when futures dropped by 400 points, while retail investors are still praying for a rebound.

Futures and spot integration, without any risk management awareness, really shouldn't be touched. It's a justified loss.

Futures drop by 700 points and then start praying for a rebound. This mentality, it cracks me up. --- The stacking effect is really a trap. Many people are still doing simple addition. --- BTC follows US stock futures' tremors. This correlation is indeed incredible... The wallet also trembles along. --- If you don't understand, don't play. That's not wrong to say, but the ones who actually lose money are often these people. --- Now it's just a matter of waiting for a rebound or continuing to sell off. Who knows? Anyway, I am already numb. --- The movement in US stock futures is so intense that Bitcoin directly got stuck. Poor thing. --- This round of adjustment has everyone panicking. It feels like every trader is holding their breath. --- Futures move, and the spot market trembles. Is the market so tightly linked? Ridiculous. --- A 700-point drop sounds scary, but once you explain the stacking effect, it doesn't seem that bad. --- When will the bottom be reached? If this continues, who can hold up?

People who directly add 700 points in futures trading really make me laugh. Luckily, someone came out to correct them; otherwise, this kind of IQ-based trading would have blown up the account long ago.

nah see, this is exactly the kind of cascading failure i've been flagging for months—everyone acts shocked when correlated markets do what they're *designed* to do. btc following equities like a puppet? predictable vulnerability exposed yet again.
