Another question I have is, why did it stop at exactly 13.00%?

If it's an entire market of people buying and selling, how do they randomly get to a number that is a whole number?

I feel like I've seen this happen several times before and I've never questioned it before.

So my thought is the market makers push it around for fun?

more likely it's just shitty computational mathematics in the ... some part of the system

also, similar things happen with powers of 10 and prices, this is technically a power of "1" and the number "13" both of which are psychologically charged concepts

also idk if you ever did any trading but

when you decide to execute a trade, are you gonna put in 13.015?

nope, you will opt for the nearest round number

Oh that makes a lot of sense. If someone has a software that says

"sell if it's between 13.01 and 13.99% Gain on the day" that would naturally make it floor at 13.00

My only other explanation is Taylor Swift has entered the trade

they can see all positions posted & look for liquidity scrape/
