Chapter Title: Mini Bull Market

Mini bull market.
The smell of curry woke me from sleep.
“Huh? What is this?”
I opened my eyes with a hazy mind. Inside the small studio room, a thick curry aroma had spread.
When I looked beside me, Han Yura was sleeping, unusually, cuddled in my arms.
Normally she would never sleep like this, but I guess last night had been extremely intense.
Hearing noise coming from the kitchen, I turned my head and saw Chaewon wearing an apron and cooking.
“When did you come?”
“Just now…”
I carefully pushed Han Yura’s body away and got up from the bed.
After last night’s sex, I had fallen asleep just like that, still naked.
I walked up behind Chaewon, who was stirring curry, and hugged her from behind.
“Hey, what are you doing…”
Chaewon twisted her body in embarrassment, but I pulled down her pants and panties.
“…Cheolsu, your real flaw is that you’re way too horny.”
“What do you expect when you look so damn sexy?”
Chaewon sighed and turned off the gas stove.
After turning off the gas stove, Chaewon pushed her hips back without resisting, making a position perfect for taking it from behind.
I spat into my palm, roughly smeared the spit onto my thing, inserted it, and slowly began moving my waist.
“Huuh… huuh… You know you have to sleep here today, right?”
“Uh… hng… yeah… I know… what time is the announcement?”
Chaewon asked while breathing heavily.
“11 p.m.”
Because of the time difference between the United States and our country, the CPI (Consumer Price Index) announced in the morning in the U.S. comes out at 11 p.m. our time.
For most people it was the time to go to bed, but for coin investors it was the most important moment.
From 11 p.m. until dawn, the most tense hours would continue, where nobody could predict how the market would move.
“So tonight all three of us have to stay here. We need to watch the situation in real time.”
“Okay… but right now… focus a little…”
Chaewon said while panting.
I pushed deeper and slowly increased the speed.
Chaewon turned back and spoke while gasping. At her words, I went even deeper and gradually increased the speed.
“Huuh… Chaewon, tighten your pussy a little more…”
“Yeah… ha… uh… but… you’re gentle with me. With Yura you’re really… rough…”
“With that bitch Yura, you have to treat her like a rag and pound her hard so she squirts everywhere.”
“…Ah, uh… then what about me?”
“With you, I have to be really gentle, like this, almost like caressing, for you to squirt everywhere…”
“Uh-huh… you… want to make me feel good? Why?”
“Hmm… how should I say it… men have this strange instinct. When a woman reacts to my dick and squirts like crazy… it feels good.”
“Huu… hot… then… do it while kissing me… not like this…”
At her words, I stopped what we were doing in the kitchen and led her to the bed.
Han Yura was sleeping and taking up half of the cramped single bed, so I roughly pushed her to one side and laid Chaewon down.
I removed the pants and underwear still caught on one of Chaewon’s legs and threw them away, climbed on top of her thick, voluptuous body, and began moving my waist again.
Then, as Chaewon wanted, while kissing her deeply,
creak, creak,
the bed made noise.
“Uh… ah… so good… you know…?”
“…What?”
“When you… heavy… lie on top of me… it… turns me on a bit.”
“You’re a pervert.”
“…A little?”
At her honest answer, I chuckled and rushed toward the final climax.
After pouring everything inside her, Chaewon silently turned around, crouched beside the bed, and cleaned my thing thoroughly with her mouth.
Hearing that sound, Han Yura, who had woken up at some point, staggered toward the bathroom completely naked.
The smell of curry and the smell of semen mixed together in my tiny six-pyeong studio room.
Within that scenery, the day of the decisive battle that would decide the fate of the three of us was beginning.
After eating breakfast, I turned on the laptop and began checking the results of the public-opinion campaign I carried out yesterday.
“Let’s check the domestic side first.”
I started going through the major coin communities one by one.
On the first site, the post I uploaded yesterday titled “Goldman Sachs executives all on vacation” had over 300 upvotes and had reached the best section.
The comments were exactly as expected.
“If this is real that’s chilling.”
“As expected, those Wall Street guys knew something.”
“I sold for now, I’m scared.”
“Better increase cash ratio until CPI comes out.”
“Oh, good reaction.”
The second and third sites were the same.
The conspiracy theories I made were occupying the top ranks and stimulating people’s anxiety.
But the really surprising thing came next.
When I searched “CPI Goldman Sachs” on the portal news…
“Huh? What’s this?”
[Exclusive] Senior Goldman Sachs executives all take vacation ahead of CPI announcement… “Do they know something?” – Financial Today
[Urgent] Wall Street insider: “Abnormal signs detected before CPI announcement”… fear spreading among retail investors – Economy21
[Breaking] Crypto industry: “Goldman Sachs movements unusual”… concerns about massive sell-off – CoinNews24
The story I completely made up yesterday had become real news articles.
“Chaewon, look at this.”
Chaewon looked at the screen over my shoulder.
“Huh? Isn’t this what you wrote yesterday?”
“Yeah. But these trash reporters just copied and pasted it.”
I read the article.
“According to information obtained by our publication, major Goldman Sachs executives reportedly applied for vacation all at once one day before the CPI announcement. An industry insider said, ‘People who would never normally take leave at the same time suddenly all stepped away, so it seems they expect some major change…’”
“Wow, it’s exactly the same?”
“No, not exactly. They just changed ‘anonymous informant’ from my post into ‘information obtained by our publication,’ and ‘internal source’ into ‘industry insider.’”
I chuckled.
“They didn’t fact-check anything. It just sounded plausible so they published it.”
The other articles were the same.
My story about the “sell pattern the day before CPI announcement” and the “Federal Reserve whistleblower” had also become articles in similar online media outlets.
“Reporters really…”
Chaewon shook her head in disbelief.
“Well, it’s good for us. Now it’s become ‘real news.’”
I smiled with satisfaction.
“People will believe it even more. They’ll think, ‘Oh, the media reported it? Then it must be real.’”
Of course, the outlets publishing these articles weren’t influential major media.
But since it was in the form of an “article,” it would appear more trustworthy to people.
“Now let’s check the overseas side too. Yura, what does this say?”
I pointed at English comments and asked Han Yura.
“Where? Ah…”
Han Yura looked at the screen and her expression darkened slightly.
“It says, ‘Same IP, same narrative. Looks like an organized fear-spreading campaign.’ And below that, ‘Multiple accounts posting similar content. Smells like short-selling forces.’”
“Ah, fuck. They caught that it was posted from the same IP.”
Fortunately, in communities where IP checking wasn’t possible, the reactions were good.
Especially in some Reddit subreddits, our posts had received a lot of upvotes.
“How about here?”
“This one’s good. Reactions like ‘If this is real that’s creepy’ and ‘Something did feel strange.’”
At that moment Han Yura raised a question.
“But does this really mean anything?”
“Hmm, right now it doesn’t… not until the chart moves…”
I explained while looking at Han Yura.
“Yura, do you know what happens when a random post someone glanced at overlaps with the chart movement?”
“I don’t know.”
“For example, right now it’s just treated as a ‘conspiracy theory,’ right? But if after tonight’s CPI announcement the market actually starts crashing?”
I pointed at the screen while continuing.
“Then people will go back and find the posts we uploaded yesterday. Thinking, ‘Huh? This guy warned about it in advance?’”
“Ah…”
“Then from that moment it stops being a ‘conspiracy theory’ and becomes a ‘prophecy.’ People will think, ‘As expected, someone must have known something.’”
Han Yura nodded.
“Then more people start selling.”
“Exactly. And that’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. Something that started as a lie eventually becomes the truth.”
I added with a smile.
“Of course if the market goes up instead, our posts will just be buried. No one will remember them.”
“So right now we just planted the seeds, and we’ll know the real effect tonight when the results come out?”
“Right. Until now it was just preparation. The really important thing is tonight’s position.”
I opened a new tab and reviewed our team’s asset status again.
“Right now our total assets are about 230 million won, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Long-term investment 82 million, mid-short aggressive investment 87 million, ultra-short trading 30 million, cash 31 million.”
I checked each portfolio one by one.
“Leave the long-term investments alone. They’re basically our substitute for real estate.”
“What about the mid-short aggressive investments?”
“That’s the core. Stardust 33%, Ethereum Link 45%, Fat Cat 22% diversified…”
I checked each coin’s chart.
“They’re all falling as expected. Our opinion campaign is working, and overall anxiety before CPI is growing.”
“Then shouldn’t we buy more now?”
Chaewon asked.
“No. Not yet. The real bottom will come right before the CPI announcement.”
I opened a memo and wrote tonight’s scenario.
CPI Announcement Scenario (11 PM)
Expected scenario (80%): CPI lower than forecast → rate-cut expectations → immediate surge → mini bull market start
Worst scenario (15%): CPI higher than forecast → rate hike fear → crash → we’re screwed
Neutral scenario (5%): CPI similar to forecast → sideways → wait for next catalyst
“The market right now is worried about CPI rising. Even more because of the fear we spread.”
“But in reality?”
“In reality CPI is likely to come out lower than expected. Oil stabilization, supply chain recovery, base effect… several factors.”
I pointed at the data I analyzed.
“The market is worrying excessively. So after CPI announcement the reaction will be ‘Huh? It’s not as bad as expected.’ Then rate-cut expectations will surge.”
“So the current drop is an opportunity for us?”
“Exactly. When everyone else is selling, we buy.”
I pointed at the 30 million ultra-short trading cash and 31 million reserve cash.
“If it falls more before CPI, we buy with this money. Then we hit the jackpot when it explodes.”
“But what if scenario two happens?”
“Then… stop loss. Liquidate quickly and leave only the long-term investments.”
I gave a bitter smile.
“Well, we think there’s an 80% chance we’re right. Worth the gamble.”
Han Yura asked worriedly.
“But are you really sure CPI will come out low?”
“According to the data, yes. But what matters is market psychology. Everyone expects the worst now, so even slightly good news will cause a surge.”
“Okay… then we really won’t sleep tonight.”
“Yeah. All of us have to stay up. From the moment CPI is announced until dawn, we need to catch the buying timing in real time.”
I checked the clock.
It was now 2 p.m.
Nine hours until the CPI announcement.
“Now it’s the final check. Let’s see if we missed any variables and whether our positions are appropriate.”
I opened the memo and listed the items to check.
“First, technical problems. At the CPI announcement moment, trading volume explodes. Can the exchanges handle it?”
“What’s the problem if volume explodes?”
Chaewon asked.
“The servers crash. Stocks do that too, but crypto is worse. There might be situations where you want to buy but can’t, or want to sell but can’t.”
“Then what do we do?”
“That’s why I prepared accounts across two or three exchanges. If one crashes, we can trade on another.”
“Second, unexpected external events. We can’t only look at CPI.”
“What’s the Fed chairman?”
Han Yura asked.
“He’s the head of the U.S. central bank. If this guy says even one sentence, the world economy shakes. If he says something like ‘rates may go higher,’ coins crash immediately.”
“The third is the scariest. If whales suddenly start moving, our plan can collapse.”
“What’s a whale?”
“Guys with tens or hundreds of billions. If they suddenly start selling, our analysis becomes useless.”
“What about leverage liquidation?”
“When people who bought coins with borrowed money lose too much, their positions are forcibly sold. Then prices drop further, triggering more liquidations… a chain reaction.”
“Fourth is people’s psychology. Coins especially are driven by emotion.”
“How?”
“Even if good news comes out, people sell thinking ‘It’s too good, I’m scared.’ Even if bad news comes out, people buy thinking ‘This must be the bottom.’”
“Then prediction is impossible.”
“That’s why it’s difficult. Emotion influences more than logic.”
“Fifth, the same number can be interpreted differently.”
“What do you mean?”
“If CPI overall is good but food prices rose a lot, the media might report ‘food inflation severe.’ Then the market gets confused.”
I reviewed what I wrote.
“There’s almost nothing here we can control. The key is responding quickly according to the situation.”
“So we just wait?”
“No. Preparation must be perfect. Check exchange logins, decide how to split the money when buying…”
I checked the clock.
“And most importantly, manage our condition from now. We need peak focus tonight. You two can’t get sleepy.”
“So basically what you’re saying is this. Fuck a lot now, and focus tonight.”
Han Yura summarized my words.
I nodded brightly.
“Yeah.”
“……”
Both women sighed silently at the same time.
“So spread your legs, you slutty bitches.”
“Ah, seriously…”
Han Yura shook her head.
“Does this bastard really have nothing in his brain except that?”
“No, you crazy bitch. This is actually important. How long the Post-Nut Clarity lasts is the key to victory.”
“Still, the way you say it…”
Chaewon laughed.
“Well, it’s something we have to do anyway. If we want to focus properly tonight.”
“See? As expected… Chaewon is realistic.”
“So now?”
“Not now. After dinner, around 8? Do it intensely so the Post-Nut Clarity lasts until dawn.”
At my words, both Chaewon and Han Yura nodded helplessly.
“…Alright. Then until then?”
“Rest. Save energy, and prepare mentally.”
I closed the laptop and said:
“Tonight might be the night our lives change.”
