Is it normally this low at this point? The one time I play frigging tech strat and the tech is paper thin as wally world bed sheets.

Yes, it is normal. It should drop to 1.2k in a week, and it will be under 1k in the last week of the reset, and maybe about $600 on the final day.

There are abnormal sets where tech would still be 1.8k (or even 2k) at this point, but... those are abnormal, maybe happens once a year (there are 6 resets per year).
