The 10% limits on falls each day are horrible this way. It actually creates a continually falling market, we won't know how bad this crash really is for awhile.


Do they also have limits on 10% rise each day?


Yes, stocks can only climb by 10% max per day.

Yes, the blue chips that the government is pumping money into are bumping up against those limits also. Really really messed up.
