#美国提高关税 $ETH what should you do if you're stuck with a 100,000 USDT loss? I recently saw a pretty typical case.
A friend told me last night that their $BNB long order is stuck with a $100,000 loss and asked what to do. Actually, there are quite a few people in this situation now—the major coins keep dropping, the non-farm payroll data triggered a sell-off, whales are dumping continuously, plus that CEO in Southeast Asia was recently arrested and a large amount of BTC was confiscated. With multiple bearish factors piling up, the main market really is in bad shape.
There are tons of people whose long orders on these major coins are underwater. Some caught the bottom and are stuck with over a million USDT in losses. Honestly, there's nothing wrong with bottom fishing itself, but the problem is that many people don't set take-profit or stop-loss orders. That's the real killer—no matter where you enter, you must set a stop-loss. That's basic trading discipline.
That's also why I've recently shifted to altcoins. When majors are weak, you should look for strong altcoins. Adapting to the market rhythm is way more important than sticking stubbornly to one direction—otherwise, you really can't survive extreme market moves.
So when can you get out of this stuck position? To be honest, you'll need to wait until ETF funds start flowing in positively. Before there's a clear trend reversal, holding and waiting on the sidelines is probably the safer choice. Don't blindly add to your position to average down—that just increases your risk.
If you're in a similar situation, focus on two things: first, don't panic-sell or add more to your position; second, review your trading system to find out where it went wrong. The market will always be here, but if you lose all your capital, you really have no more chances.

Stop loss is truly the most difficult lesson in trading. There are not many people who can remain calm after seeing 100,000 U trapped.

In simple terms, the matter of stop loss is just like the protection of cultural relics - there must be a clear sense of boundaries. Once you exceed that line, you have to let go. Otherwise, in an attempt to save a damaged piece, you may end up destroying the entire collection.

100,000 U trapped? Why can't we get into altcoins, this is the real way out.

Getting stuck with 100,000 USDT really requires patience; averaging down is just asking for trouble.

If you don't set a stop-loss, then just wait to get burned. I've seen too many people who thought they were buying the dip and ended up straight in the ICU. When major coins are weak, it's better to mine altcoins instead of stubbornly holding on.

Not setting the stop loss properly is really a terminal illness, being trapped with 100,000 U is so painful... I have people around me like this, and now they are all waiting for the ETF to save the market, otherwise they really can't hold on.

What are you still waiting for after getting stuck with 100,000 USD? You should have switched to altcoins long ago to look for a comeback opportunity. Sticking to mainstream coins is just slow suicide.
