The night I bet against MOVR, I lost all my savings
At 3:00 a.m., the blue light from my phone screen shone on Xiao Chen’s face. His fingers were trembling.
On the Binance futures interface, the price of MOVR—like a rabid beast—rocketed from the 1.65 USDT when he opened his short, all the way to 2.96. With 20x leverage and a principal of 50,000 USDT, his unrealized loss had already exceeded 90%.
“Impossible for it to jump this much,” Xiao Chen muttered to himself. Three hours ago, MOVR had been hovering near a low of 1.614. Watching that long lower wick on the candlestick chart, he felt confident and opened a short position. His logic was simple: the coin had dropped so much from its peak—this rebound was just a dead cat bounce. Short it on the pullback, and he’d be guaranteed to profit.
He even sent the screenshot of his entry in the group, captioned: “Dinner tonight.” A few brothers in the group chimed in: “Chen Ge is awesome.”
But the market never gives anyone a heads-up.
At 1.70, he didn’t move. At 1.90, his heartbeat started to race. At 2.10, the stop loss he set was triggered and wiped out—but he wouldn’t accept it. He manually added more margin. By 2.50, his palms were drenched in sweat. At 2.96, the system popped the message he feared most: Your position has been liquidated.
50,000 USDT—gone to zero.
Xiao Chen slumped in his chair, staring at the ceiling. Outside the window was Shenzhen’s night view—dense, crisscrossing lights that looked just like the candles on a chart. Suddenly he remembered this time last year: he’d made 80,000 yuan with an ETH swing trade, and back then he’d thought he was a genius.
His phone lit up again. Someone in the group posted: “MOVR hit a high of 3.09 today. The long brothers made a killing.”
A string of sticker memes followed.
Xiao Chen slammed his phone onto the table and closed his eyes. He knew tomorrow the sun would still rise, and the stories in the crypto market would go on. But tonight, he was the one written into the punchline.
He recalled the line Lao Zhang said when he first entered the space: In this market, surviving is more important than making money.
Unfortunately, he used 50,000 USDT before he truly understood.
