Just curious: Is there also a rule that halts trading when stocks go *up* too quickly? I.e., is the interventionism biased? Would love an authoritative answer from anyone who has actual knowledge here.


Yes.  Circuit breakers work in both directions.  The thresholds are the same plus/minus.  If trading halts my E*TRADE app will lock me out for the cool-down duration.
