Another account on X applies this to crypto: if a -10% move was certain, BTC would already be at $70k. Meanwhile another account on X tells followers to 'get your shopping list ready' (349 likes, 15k views) and another account on X reminds that positioning and flows are all that matter short-term. Another account on X adds technical context, comparing the setup to October 2018 which bottomed at Christmas after two months of volatility.
