The next day.
Beijing time, 8 a.m.
The Osaka Stock Exchange in the island nation.
"What?! How could it open lower?"
"With such a good market, who would be foolish enough to sell?"
"Yamamoto-kun, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this...
The man named Yamamoto glanced at the screen, pursed his lips, and said disdainfully.
"Hmph, this is all the bookmaker's trick to steal our chips. I'm not falling for it."
"Listen to me, Suzuki-kun, follow me! If you enter the market any later, you'll lose money when the big players start pushing up the price."
"......"
Inside the venue.
Countless traders were also stunned by the opening index displayed on the screen.
12 o'clock.
Upon seeing the opening price, some shook their heads and sighed, some remained silent, but most simply didn't care.
Compared to yesterday's closing price of 0.61 points.
The index only fell by 0.49 points, less than a negative 0.01%.
How could that possibly scare away these traders?
The market has just opened.
Filling out forms, quoting prices—everyone was busy.
The vast majority of stock investors choose to buy and hold their positions.
Only a few people noticed something was wrong.
People have habits, also known as habitual thinking.
Whether it's the securities market or the financial market, it's essentially a zero-sum game.
Ultimately, even games are controlled by humans.
The island nation's stock market opened higher for several days in a row.
And every time the market opened higher, it closed in positive territory.
However, today, the market index suddenly opened lower.
Even if it only opened 0.49 points lower, it's less than a negative 0.01%.
This indicates that the bullish sentiment of major market makers is not as high as it appears on the surface.
Some say it's to accumulate chips, or that it opened low and closed high.
Those are all rumors spread by the major players in the market.
There is no further inflow of new funds.
The rise and fall of the market are determined by existing funds.
A lower opening price also indicates that the market will fall.
really!
In less than half a minute, the island nation's stock market was quickly turned red amid a group of enthusiastic investors buying.
The index was gradually pushed up.
point.
point.
point.
"We made it through, we made it through."
"Make sure you get a foothold, hold on, hold on!"
However.
These island nation stock market investors didn't have time to be happy for long.
Bang!
A thunderclap rose from the ground.
Like a giant "bomb," it was detonated without anyone's knowledge.
Using heavyweight stocks as a benchmark, a massive amount of sell orders filled the top bid level.
The upward trend was abruptly halted.
However, this is just the beginning.
The short sellers, with overwhelming force, began to dump their shares.
In the island nation's stock market, over 90% of stocks experienced a decline.
-1%
-2%
-3%
Several low-market-cap electronics stocks fell by more than 12% in just a few minutes.
This trend continues to spread among various stocks.
As a result, the market also plummeted.
100 points.
200 points.
It was only near that point that signs of stabilization appeared.
The exchange was filled with groans and cries of despair; everyone wore expressions of disbelief.
The market only managed to stabilize above the support level yesterday.
Unexpected.
It's only been one day.
One day!
......
On the other side.
Inside the apartment building.
Chen Dong and his group presented a completely different picture.
"Boss, you're amazing!"
How do you know the island nation's stock market will fall?
Henry's face was filled with complicated emotions.
I both admire and am very curious about Chen Dong.
If Chen Dong had followed his trading strategy yesterday, he would have not only failed to make money, but would probably have lost a lot in transaction fees.
However, as if he already knew the outcome, Chen Dong made the final decision and opened a short position on one side.
You should know that this applies to the futures market.
Without hedging, who would dare to hold a contract overnight?
This is no longer speculation, it's high-stakes gambling!
Winning the bet is naturally a good thing; it's like turning a bicycle into a motorcycle.
If they lose, given Chen Dong's position size, he won't even have a chance to recover.
"There is no stock market that only goes up and never goes down."
"The island nation's stock market has rebounded from 0.04 points to its current level, and has long accumulated a huge amount of profit-taking."
"If you don't leave now, are you just waiting to be fleeced by retail investors?"
Chen Dong got up from the sofa and asked in return with a smile.
Of course, the stock market in island nations is far more complex than what Chen Dong mentioned.
These are the thoughts of a normal trader.
The real reason, which Chen Dong did not reveal, was a power struggle between nations.
Even without today's crash, this scene would have happened again someday in the future.
What Chen Dong had to do was go with the flow and pick up the bargains from behind.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
The island nation's stock market closed.
The market index closed at 0.67 points.
Compared to yesterday's closing price, the index fell 373.94 points, ultimately closing down 1.13%.
Meanwhile, the Singapore Nikkei 255 futures closed at [point].
A drop of 380 points.
At this point, Chen Dong's account had a floating profit of $3.7576 million.
Henry was stunned when he saw the unrealized profit displayed in his account.
one day.
This Chinese man doubled the money in his account in just one day.
That's terrifying!
Isn't China a country that doesn't yet have a securities market?
