Two days remained until the July 9 unlock. Sisyphus had not sold a single XAI, and his holdings still carried a high purchase cost. The previous day's rebound had not eased his doubts: he kept refreshing the price without knowing what another refresh would help him decide.
XAI stood at USD 0.35. Sisyphus decided not to watch the market on July 9 and told the group so. He also tried to give himself a more useful rule: learn how the unlock would actually be released before deciding whether to keep holding. He later broke his promise not to watch.
The small decision at least made his conflict plain. He wanted to escape the anxiety of watching prices, yet did not want to miss information that mattered to his holdings. With the unlock details still unavailable to him, he could only treat price swings and the release arrangements awaiting confirmation as separate questions.
