Lost 390k yuan, GUA, STG, and LAB these three coins personally cut me from the peak of my account down to my ankles. Today the blood hasn't dried yet, and the data just happens to be able to verify twice, so I break it down one by one.
GUA: 24-hour plunge of 37%, from a high of 0.783 straight down to 0.452, with a trading volume of 43 million but shrinking. I previously chased at 0.68, thinking of doing a MEME second wave, but a 30% gap in a single day hit my stop-loss directly. Now my logic is: 0.45 is a dense liquidation zone on-chain, volume shrank to the bottom but no one is buying. Operation plan: try long positions lightly between 0.44-0.455, no more than 2% position, stop-loss below 0.43. First take profit at 0.52, if volume breaks through 0.55, chase another 5%. No volume, don’t touch—this is a dead cat being pulled.
STG: 24-hour increase of 36%, from 0.242 to 0.3818, with a volume of 7.2 billion clearly increasing. But I was fooled into entering twice by this kind of trend—chased at 0.35, but the next day it returned to 0.28. Data shows 0.38 is a previous high resistance zone, RSI has already exceeded 70, with heavy retail chasing, increasing the risk of a pullback. Plan: wait until 0.30-0.31 area to enter, stop-loss at 0.28, sell at 0.37, with 3% position. Don’t chase the rise, STG is a slow trader, a sudden surge is just giving away money.
LAB: 27% plunge, from a high of 12.47 to 8.88, with a volume of 1.49 billion but falling sharply, retail traders rushing to exit. I bought the bottom once at 10.2, but it dropped to 9.0 and I cut it. The data is very grim: the price broke below all hourly moving averages, but 8.7 is the 0.618 Fibonacci support of this rally. If it holds tonight, there might be a technical rebound. Plan: try long at 8.7-8.8 with 5%, stop-loss below 8.5, take profit at 9.6. If it breaks below 8.5, don’t hesitate—liquidate everything immediately, no bottom below.
A painful lesson summarized: big losses don’t come from a single plunge, but from every rebound you can’t resist adding to your position. I first run these three strategies with a small account, whether you follow or not, the data won’t lie. If you find this practical, follow me. I review my stop-losses and corrections every day.
