What to do if you're caught in a position? Instead of passively waiting, it's better to take proactive action. Here are some practical strategies for exiting a position, tailored to different market conditions.



When the coin price is at a high level, technical signals often provide clear guidance. There's no need to hope for a rebound at this point; cutting losses decisively is the wise choice. It's better to stop the loss promptly than to let the losses grow.

In the mid-range zone, there's more flexibility. You can temporarily hold and closely monitor market movements. Once an opportunity arises, adjust your strategy immediately. If luck is on your side, you might find the perfect exit point; if not, you can still keep losses within an acceptable range.

Low positions are the golden opportunity for adding to your position. Since the price has already fallen, instead of feeling distressed over past losses, think in reverse—continue to build at key support levels to lower your average cost. When the market rebounds, the trapped positions at high levels will naturally become easier to manage.

If the currency is in an upward channel, patience is the best strategy. There's no need to rush to cut losses; as the upward trend unfolds, exiting will just be a matter of time, and you might even make a profit.

In a volatile market, there's no need to panic. Prices fluctuate between highs and lows. As long as you're not greedy, you can exit decisively at the high points of volatility, minimizing losses.

The most dangerous situation is a downtrend. Once a decline is confirmed, hesitation will only deepen the wounds. At this point, you should cut losses without hesitation, because delaying decision-making often leads to deep losses that are hard to recover.

Regarding each individual's position and scale, since situations vary greatly, it's impossible to detail every case. If you need targeted advice, feel free to discuss further.

It's easy to say, but when it comes to actual operation, everyone tends to be greedy. Buying the dip sounds great, but it's hard to let go... This theory is correct, but execution is difficult; human nature is the biggest enemy.

Sounds nice, but in reality, it still comes down to luck? I added to my position at a low point, and it kept crashing. LOL

That's a good point, but really, psychologically preparing for adding positions at low levels is necessary. Actually, the hardest part is cutting losses at high levels; you know you should sell but just can't do it. Damn, that downward trend really hit me; hesitation before led to even deeper losses. Luck is really mysterious; sometimes, observing from the middle can actually save your life. Waiting for the upward channel to develop is the best approach, much better than reckless operations. The most testing time in a volatile market is the oscillation phase; you can't sell at high levels, and it’s hard to smile. Thinking in reverse is indeed clear-headed, but brother, adding positions requires capital.

It's easy to say, but hard to do. When it really comes to cutting losses, no one can bring themselves to do it. Buying the dip at low levels sounds great, but can your mindset hold up? That's the real test. Waiting for an upward trend channel? I'm still waiting now, I don't know for how long.

It sounds good, but the reality is bleeding from cutting losses. It's always the story of buying the dip; who doesn't want to average down? The problem is, where's the money? Upward channel? I see only a downward channel. Stop-loss, stop-loss. It should have been stopped earlier, but now it can't be pulled back. Actually, it's all about luck; technical analysis is less effective than luck.

It sounds good, but in practice, it's a trap. Buying the dip at low prices is not easy.

Are you still adding at the low? I think it's just self-comfort after being trapped.

It's easy to say but hard to do. Buying the dip sounds simple, but when it comes to the critical moment, your hands are trembling.

It's the same old "different market conditions have their own tricks" rhetoric, sounding like the supply-side reform. Buying the dip to average down? That's just gambling with rationality as a cover, perfectly illustrating the bear market philosophy—buying more as prices fall, self-delusion at its best. The truth is: most people can't accurately judge where they are in the market; they think high is the middle, and middle is low. By the time they realize it, they've already hit rock bottom. So these conditional statements are all after-the-fact armchair strategies; in real-time trading, everyone becomes a Schrödinger's trader.
