Don’t hold on to losing trades with stubbornness—change your pace, and you can actively turn things around.

This round of ETH has been sweeping both up and down, and the damage isn’t small. A lot of people who chased the high ended up trapped. But what truly liquidates people is often not simply getting the direction wrong—after they get the rhythm wrong, their mindset collapses.

The rebound on the evening of June 16 is a mirror—starting from the same point, some people roll their losses forward bigger and bigger, while others take the opportunity to get their accounts back.

A common mistake:
Chase longs above 2880. Go in, and you immediately hit a pullback. After the level breaks, it’s not that they exit first—they think, “It has fallen so much; it should rebound,” and add to the position in the opposite direction, trying to force a reversal. In the end, the market continues moving down, and the position gets wiped out directly. It’s not that the market is too brutal—it’s that the position has lost all room to maneuver.

An approach you can reference:
With a 3000U principal, after chasing longs for a short-term trade and getting quickly trapped, cut the position by half immediately, so you can reduce risk to a controllable range. Wait until the price returns to the prior key handover zone, then use the remaining “ammo” to add in small amounts in batches, gradually bringing the average cost down. When the rebound reaches the 2960 range, the account has already grown from 3000U to 11000U. At the target, leave decisively without hesitation.

With the same kind of volatility, the outcomes are completely different. The core difference comes down to two points: whether you leave room in your position, and whether you can get out in time.
