To those who got liquidated: this is not the end, but a new beginning



On June 4th, $1.1 billion was liquidated. If you happen to be one of them, please read this article all the way through.

First, stop blaming yourself. In this market, almost every trader who survives has experienced liquidation or near-liquidation. Being liquidated doesn’t mean you’re stupid or a failure; it only indicates one thing: at this moment, you used leverage beyond the market’s capacity to bear, and encountered unfavorable volatility. This is tuition, expensive though it may be, but as long as you learn from it, it’s not a wasted cost.

Next, you should do three things:

First, clear all your positions and exit your account. Don’t try to immediately make back your losses. Revenge trading after liquidation is the fastest way to lose more. Turn off your computer and go to sleep. Give yourself at least 24 hours of cooling-off time.

Second, review your trading records. Look at each trade: entry points, position sizes, whether you set stop-losses, the market sentiment at the time. Find the most fatal mistake, write it down, and stick it next to your screen.

Third, develop a “return plan.” Once your emotions have fully calmed, re-enter the market with small funds. Only do spot trading, no leverage. The goal is not to make money but to rebuild respect for the market and discipline. After consistently executing the plan correctly for a month, consider whether to resume contract trading.

Regarding the current market: don’t think the world is ending just because you got liquidated. ETH is still above 1700, BTC is still above 62,000. The macro structure of the bull market has not changed. What you lost is only part of your principal, but you gained valuable lessons. The crypto market never closes. Those who ultimately succeed are not those who never got liquidated, but those who can stand up after liquidation and become stronger.
