The message is exploding. As soon as I opened the backend, I was overwhelmed by questions—"BTC has returned to the break-even point, should I sell or hold?" "I'm a newbie, encountering this situation for the first time, I'm really panicking." "I followed analysis to enter the market before, can I add to my position now?"
Stop. Take a calm three seconds. Today, I will serve as your "Crypto Market Psychological Advisor" and speak plainly: BTC returning to the break-even point is not a signal for panic, but rather a "reassessment" window. The key is that players at different levels should respond differently. Newbies using strategies of seasoned traders often end up losing even more.
First, reassure yourself. Looking at the chart, the overall trend of BTC has not collapsed. To judge whether the trend has truly reversed, I teach you to look at three core indicators: First, whether the key support level has been broken; second, whether the trading volume is continuously declining; third, whether there are sudden negative shocks at the macro level. Since none of these are happening now, there's no need to overreact.
Many newbies panic at price pullbacks, but the root cause is a lack of clarity about their own entry logic. Are you entering because of a short-term rebound follow-up, or based on long-term value positioning? Clarifying this makes subsequent decision-making much easier.
Now, some practical tips—how players with different risk tolerances should proceed:
Newbie (lowest risk tolerance): I have just one suggestion: exit without hesitation at the break-even point. Don’t worry about "what if it rises after selling." The first thing newbies need to learn is "how not to lose money," not "how to make big profits." The crypto market is like a high-risk amusement park; you must know when to get off.

Sell and it goes up; don't sell and it continues to fall. I've already mastered the "contrarian indicator" thing haha

It's the same old story. Do beginners panic and listen to motivational quotes? Basically, they just don't know how they got into the game.

It's that old saying again, the most important thing for beginners to learn is capital preservation.
If you don't understand the entry logic clearly, don't make reckless moves, really.
The profit and loss line is just a signal; how you interpret it is up to you.
Can the mentality of following the trend and laying out be the same? To put it simply.
It's harder to avoid losing money than to make a big profit, there's nothing wrong with that statement.
Don't panic if the support level isn't broken; just watch three indicators.
For beginners, setting stop-losses when exiting is truly a necessary lesson; you need to understand that.
As long as there are no macroeconomic negatives, keep sitting tight—that's such a simple logic.
Sometimes, not making a move is actually the best move; don't mess around blindly.
Low trading volume is the real signal; price corrections are really nothing.

Newbies really shouldn't think about bottom-fishing or adding positions; surviving first is more important than anything else.

Here comes another wave of rug pulls and scams. Beginners really need to remember this lesson.

It's the same old "calm for three seconds" routine... Sounds nice, but when you're really losing money, who can stay calm?

Newcomers should cut losses and not be greedy. Learning to get off the train is the most important.
