$ETH fell 2.13% in Binance's rolling daily snapshot. That is a useful reminder: a stop trigger is not a guaranteed exit price.
A stop-limit sell activates a limit order when its trigger is reached. If buyers move below the limit, the order may remain unfilled while ETH keeps falling.
A stop-market order instead seeks available buyers after triggering, but its execution price can be worse than expected.
The distinction matters when planning an exit: check which order type you selected, not just the trigger price.
The downside risk is specific: an unfilled stop-limit can leave your position exposed to further losses.
