#数字资产市场动态 Don't panic when you're trapped; listen to me as I explain, there is actually still a glimmer of hope.



**Proactive Breakout, Take Control of the Situation**

First, recognize the reality. If you bought in at a high and the coin no longer shows momentum to go up, then you need to be ruthless and cut your losses. It's not always necessary to sell only when you're making a profit; sometimes cutting losses early to protect your capital is the smarter choice. Keeping this money allows you to seize the next opportunity.

When you're stuck, there's another approach: check if the coins you hold are truly hopeless. If the fundamentals are weakening and the price is steadily declining, instead of stubbornly holding on, it’s better to act quickly and switch to assets with inflows and strong upward momentum. Use your newly earned profits to offset old losses and switch to a different track to start fresh.

Another tactic is swing trading. If you're deeply trapped but believe the price will still fall, no problem—sell part of your holdings in stages and buy back at lower levels. Repeatedly buy low and sell high to gradually lower your average cost. Even if the market only rebounds to break even later, you won't suffer too much loss.

**Stay Calm and Wait for Opportunities**

If your principal isn't heavily lost and you believe in the long-term prospects of this coin, then add to your position gradually and in small amounts at low prices, but avoid frequent tinkering. Use structured partial additions to optimize your cost basis.

Or, just hold on stubbornly. If your entire position is trapped but you have no extra funds to add, consider whether this money is your idle cash. If so, patience might be the most cost-effective strategy. Being stuck isn’t the end; after some market fluctuations, the rebound and recovery chances will come.

**Final Ramblings**

Being trapped isn’t scary in itself; what’s scary is losing your mindset first. That’s when the most reckless actions happen—either frequent stop-losses or stubbornly holding on to losses. Abandon impulsiveness, stay rational, and the market will eventually give you a chance to turn things around, even to make a profit. This is what’s called a mindset game.

Oh dear, here we go again talking about stop-loss and swing trading, making it sound so easy. Switching coins to change tracks—sounds simple, but in reality, it's a nightmare to actually do. Missing out on opportunities, or continuing to bleed if you don't switch—this game is really hard to play. I just want to ask, which senior brother can truly avoid being emotionally hijacked?

It sounds nice, but the problem is that when it comes to cutting losses, I really can't do it.

I told you not to chase the high earlier, and now look at it, all you can do is bet on a rebound.

It's the same story again—cutting losses or holding on. Ultimately, it all depends on whether you can keep your mindset intact.
