#比特币对比代币化黄金 got trapped? Don’t smash your keyboard just yet.

Over the past few years, I’ve seen too many people start making reckless moves as soon as they get stuck in a position—either stubbornly holding until liquidation, or blindly buying the dip and digging themselves in deeper. In reality, getting out of a losing position isn’t about how advanced your skills are, but about finding the right method.

**What to do if you bought at the top?**
When the market turns and starts dropping, a lot of people can’t bear to cut their losses—“Maybe if I wait, it’ll bounce back.” But the reality is, hesitate for a day and you’re down 5%; wait three days and you might be down 50%. The smartest move at this point: cut your losses and walk away. As long as you have capital left, there will be plenty of chances to earn it back later.

**Too deep in the red to cut losses?**
Try a hedging approach—open a position in the opposite direction to lock in your risk. When the price really hits bottom (or rebounds to a high point), close out the profitable side first, and patiently wait for a better exit on your stuck position. But keep in mind, this only works in a sideways market—don’t try it in a strong trend or you’ll get hit from both sides.

**If you can watch the market closely, you can try some tricks.**
In a sideways market, repeatedly buy low and sell high on the same coin to make small profits and gradually lower your average cost. Sounds simple, but in practice you need to watch the candlesticks closely and have a good sense of timing. Beginners should practice with small amounts first.

**Finally, let’s talk about averaging down.**
This is the easiest way to get wrecked—many people see the price drop and keep averaging down, only to end up deeper in a losing position (“adding fuel to the fire”). The right way: wait until the trend has finished, the price has stabilized at a low level for a few days, and then decide how much to add based on your own wallet. Don’t expect to break even all at once—that’s gambler’s thinking.

$BTC and $ETH are still worth keeping a close eye on, since the performance of BTC and ETH basically sets the tone for the whole market.
