Being trapped doesn't mean there's no chance to turn things around, but you can't just copy a universal formula and expect to come out unscathed. Whether you can truly free yourself depends on two key factors: first, the price level at which you entered the market, and second, the current rhythm and pattern of this wave of market movement. This explains why some people have studied various recovery tutorials thoroughly, yet still feel helpless when it comes to actual trading.

$BTC during this adjustment, do you also have positions that are locked? If you can't see the direction clearly now and are unsure how to handle it more safely, let's have a chat. Carefully analyze your current cost basis, position distribution, and market trend, so you can figure out how to gradually recover from the passive situation, rather than blindly lowering your position or holding on stubbornly.

Exactly, the difference between break-even price and entry timing is just a tiny bit, but the results are completely different. Armchair strategizing is easy for everyone, but once it comes to actual execution, it's game over.

Getting trapped is basically a test of your mentality. I've seen too many people study a bunch of methodologies and still end up collapsing, really.

What I’m saying is, the biggest fear when trapped is sticking to those so-called "divine methods" found online, which only makes the situation worse. I’m feeling a bit confused now, not sure whether to continue holding or cut losses first, it’s quite frustrating. --- The gap between the cost price and the current price is too large, making it hard to see where the market is headed. It feels like all kinds of analyses have their reasons but also seem a bit off. --- Really, no matter how much theory I learn, it’s useless. Once I start practicing, my true nature is exposed—that’s my pain point. --- The hardest part right now is not knowing whether to wait or act. Holding a position that’s locked up is one thing, but having to endure that uncertainty is another. --- Honestly, I’d like to hear some professional analysis. Guessing blindly is too exhausting. Being trapped like this is really tormenting.

Really, armchair strategists are always the winners... As soon as their own coins get trapped, they start panicking. Those tutorials on how to unlock are useless.

After reading so many bailout tutorials, it all comes down to one thing—theoretical plans are useless; you need to understand where your costs are. Don't just spread out your investments; first, figure out exactly how much you've lost. If you're truly trapped, stay calm and analyze carefully; don't follow the crowd and make reckless moves. This wave of adjustment has indeed trapped many people; the cost basis is the key. I've also been locked in before, but the main thing is to see how the trend develops afterward—you can't just hold on stubbornly.

Honestly, getting trapped seems simple, but in practice, it's full of pitfalls. I've seen people study a bunch of methods to get out, only to end up trapping themselves even tighter. The cost price is definitely the key; lowering it isn't the answer, and holding on stubbornly isn't either. It really depends on the market pattern.

Here we go again with this set—cost price, position distribution... I've been through all of it. In 2018, I heard many so-called "professional analyses," but what was the result? Project teams ran away, exchanges absconded with funds, Ponzi schemes collapsed, and everything was wiped out. Lowering the cost? Holding on stubbornly? Both are just two choices for gamblers. In the end, it's all new and old leeks buried together.
