Ordinary investors can't see the undercurrents surging behind the scenes.
Their moods rise and fall only with the fluctuations of stock prices.
The first drop after breaching the 40,000-point mark indeed sobered up many frenzied investors momentarily, prompting them to re-evaluate their blind behavior to avoid becoming the proverbial "green onions." Out of caution, some even hastily sold off their stocks, triggering a small-scale cooling trend in the otherwise hot market.
But little did they know, Amaterasu's favor had not yet ceased.
After falling back to 39,000 points, the market surprisingly began a new round of escalation, stabilized for a week, and then continued to rise, surpassing the historic high of 40,000 points for the second time.
Investors who cashed out and stepped back after winning felt regretful, slapping their thighs in frustration, cursing their own cowardice, wishing they could slap themselves silly.
Even though they had clearly made money.
