$HOME This trade went from “free money” to “cutting losses” in just three days.

The day before yesterday, I watched it fall from 0.0052 to 0.0046. I thought it had dropped nearly 10%, so it had to bounce, and I entered with a 30% position at 0.0046. But after I bought, it just went sideways like a dead fish. Yesterday afternoon, a single bearish candle sent it straight down to 0.0043. I watched the order book, hoping for a rebound before exiting, but it never came. 24-hour trading volume was 5.7M, and volume kept shrinking, leaving fewer and fewer buyers.
The lesson is simple: in a downtrend, “cheap” is a trap. My mistake was treating “it’s fallen a lot” as a reason to buy and ignoring volume—5.7M in trading volume isn’t enough to support a decent rebound, and a slow decline on shrinking volume is the most grinding kind. My mindset went from “free money” to “waiting for someone to take this off my hands”—the longer I wait, the more passive I become.
Trading advice: 0.0043 is now the 24-hour low, so don’t rush to buy the dip. Wait for one of two things: either it holds above 0.0045 with increased volume, then consider opening a small position; or it breaks below 0.0042 on increased volume, in which case watch for support around 0.0040. Set a stop-loss at 0.0041 and keep your position under 20%; with coins like this that trade on shrinking volume, it’s easy to get in and hard to get out. The first take-profit target is 0.0048; take half off there.
