Nikkei rises 1.36%, Korea's KOSPI up 2.43%, KOSPI 200 futures up 5% triggering a circuit breaker.



One morning, two markets hit the daily limit twice—this is not a rebound, it's a stampede-style rush to buy.

A 5% increase directly triggered the circuit breaker, indicating that algorithmic trading is chasing gains at any cost.

The reason? It could be the expectations reached last week through Samsung's labor-management negotiations, or the Bank of Japan's "continued easing" as a last-ditch effort, or perhaps—it's been a long decline, and a rebound needs no reason.

For a market that has fallen for three weeks, with KOSPI down over 15%, a 2.43% rise is like the first breath of air a drowning person takes.

But the moment the circuit breaker is triggered also exposes a problem: once algorithmic trading starts to rush, it can't stop.

A five-minute pause can't extinguish the desire; it only makes the next wave of gains more aggressive.

For the crypto market:

Japanese and Korean stock markets recover → risk appetite recovers → BTC benefits indirectly.

But in this rally, how much is based on fundamentals, and how much is "there's nowhere lower to fall" self-rescue—nobody cares.

The market only cares about one thing: do we continue to rise today? #股票交易挑战最高赢17000U $MU
