What should you do if you get stuck (trapped) in the crypto market?

Are you floating around in the crypto world? How could you not get trapped? Even top-tier experts can’t avoid being caught—no one has 100% certainty about nailing the exact buy and sell points.

So once you’re trapped, what do you do?

1. Determine the market structure: is it a bull market or a bear market? Also estimate which stage of the market cycle you’re in. Different market environments call for completely different approaches.
In the early to mid-stage of a bull market, you can continue holding; but in the later stage, be careful. If it can run, don’t stay—don’t have illusions.

2. Analyze the fundamentals: are there recent negative factors, especially earnings blow-ups, violations of laws and regulations, industry headwinds, etc.
Negative factors: exit decisively.

3. Find the cause, do analysis—mainly look at timing issues for the buy point, and analyze your psychological state and motivation when you entered.

4. Solutions
1. Cut losses decisively; get the losing coins out quickly.
2. Swing trade: use high sell and low buy to lower your cost.
3. Do T trading—this requires a certain level of technical ability; repeatedly do T to reduce costs.
4. Wait: if it’s a bull market, holding your ground is victory.

5. Trade in batches: set a certain percentage as your core position, sell the rest, then use floating positions to execute batch trades—i.e., the strategy of patching the east wall to repair the west wall.

All of the above are ways to patch things up after losing sheep; the key is to do thorough preparation in the early stage.
