When algorithmic trading strategies kick in, they're essentially forced into a corner—buying shares becomes mandatory to hedge against accumulated risk exposure. This dynamic unleashes what traders call a "snowball effect." Picture it: the closer the price approaches that $95 level, the more aggressive these algorithms need to move. Momentum builds on itself, each move triggering the next.
On the technical side, the 15-minute RSI has climbed back to 68, which is worth watching. We're tiptoeing right up to the overbought threshold of 70. That narrow margin matters—it signals potential exhaustion in the current upswing, though the buying pressure hasn't quite peaked yet.

Once the algorithm is activated, there's no turning back, forcing oneself to buy aggressively... This snowball effect is really awesome, just a little short of 95.

Algorithms are truly a double-edged sword; once they start, you can't stop them.

Algorithmic trading can really get out of control. Once triggered, it becomes a snowball effect that can't be stopped.

Algorithms are really a double-edged sword, forcing you to buy no matter what... Once it crashes, it's really over.

The algorithm really can't hold up anymore, $95 feels like a curse...

The algorithmic snowball effect is truly amazing; the 95-dollar threshold feels like a curse.
