The cryptocurrency market has been under continuous pressure in recent days, with prices steadily declining. Many long traders are now trapped, but this situation can actually be resolved.



The key is to find the right approach. Most people fail to recover because they either misjudge the direction or fail to time their operations correctly. Start from the market structure—clearly identify what stage the current trend is in, confirm support and resistance levels, and then tailor your exit plan based on your own cost basis.

Sometimes, you don't have to wait for a rebound to your cost price to exit; flexible adjustments to your strategy are often more efficient. For example, scaling out in stages, hedging, or rotating into different coins can reduce risk. $BTC Although the volatility of mainstream coins like this is intense, it also provides experienced traders with opportunities to position.

The worst thing is to be passively trapped without any action plan, becoming more anxious with every market dip. It’s better to stay calm, analyze, and ask yourself: Should I hold or actively take action at this point? Once you think it through, the path becomes clearer.

That's right, the key is to have a plan; don't panic and operate blindly. --- Gradually reducing positions is indeed a good strategy, much more reliable than going all-in and waiting for a rebound. --- I'm one of those who got caught passively; now I really regret not thinking it through earlier. --- How to view support and resistance levels? Some people can't even understand this. --- Instead of waiting for the cost basis, it's better to cut losses early and stop, don't gamble anymore. --- Misjudging the market phase by one step can lead to total loss; that's my current situation. --- Switching between different cryptocurrencies is a strategy, but the risk is even greater, brother. --- What's the use of panicking? The market won't rebound just because you're panicking. --- BTC indeed has high volatility, but I have no bullets left—how to position myself? --- It's easy to say, but when it really comes to that point, who can stay calm and analyze rationally?

That's right, but I found that most people simply can't "calm down and analyze," as soon as the price drops they start buying the dip, even below the bottom. Those still holding on stubbornly are probably the ones without stop-losses. Gradually reducing positions is indeed reliable, but I'm just worried about trembling and going all in at once. Really, those who can endure this wave are tough people. How to put it, if the direction is right, everything else is easy to say; if the direction is wrong, no amount of strategies will help. I just want to know who still dares to add to their position now—truly brave. The key is discipline; most people lack this. Thinking of bouncing back after being caught? That's overthinking. It's really a matter of mental resilience—if you're going to lose, you're going to lose; better to cut early and re-enter later. The number of traders who can survive this round is very few.

Sigh, you're right, but only a few can really do it. Most just go blank after getting trapped. The biggest problem for retail investors is having no plan. They want to sell at the slightest dip, but can't hold on when it drops further. How can they make money like that? The key is to truly believe in your own cost basis. This wave has indeed given institutions a chance to get in, and us small retail investors can only watch. Instead of panicking, it's better to stay calm and analyze. Since we're already trapped, panicking won't help.

That's correct, but most people actually can't do it. Once they settle in, they start self-deception. Waiting passively for a rebound makes you a leek, while taking proactive action makes you a winner. I've used the method of reducing positions in batches, which can indeed save your life. The key is to be ruthless. Just be clear about your cost basis, and that's it. Don't think about recovering everything in one go.

It's easy to say, but hard to do. When you're actually trapped, who can stay calm and analyze rationally? --- Gradually reducing positions sounds good, but the coins in hand are falling too fast, making it impossible to keep up with the rhythm. --- This wave of market is really a dead end; waiting for a rebound until the flowers have withered. --- The problem is that most people can't even judge where the support level is; looking at K-line charts is like reading a book of heaven. --- Instead of analyzing so much, it's better to cut losses quickly and comfortably, to avoid the pain of watching every day. --- Switching coins in rotation? I think most people are just failures at high selling and low buying. --- It's really a mindset issue; few can stick to the end. --- There are indeed opportunities to position in BTC, it all depends on whether you have the guts and bullets. --- Many people understand these principles, but when it comes to actual execution, they are still panicking to death. --- Not panicking is fake; after all, who can stay calm when watching their account balance drop?

Sigh, here we go again talking about structural support and pressure, sounding so nice... I just want to ask the brothers who are trapped, do you really have an action plan? Wait, scaling out in batches sounds good, but the question is, where is the bottom? Honestly, this wave of BTC was really fierce, but I get a little nervous when someone is bottom fishing... Is this a good thing or a bad thing? The hardest part after getting trapped is the waiting, watching the K-line every day, mental breakdown. I think the key is to recognize your own risk tolerance clearly, don't be brainwashed by words like "flexible strategy."
