#美联储降息 Don't panic when you're trapped; follow this method to avoid many detours.



The cryptocurrency market is unpredictable, and everyone encounters being trapped. The key is how to handle it—avoid blindly holding on or aggressively cutting losses, these are two pitfalls you must not fall into. Combine your actual position and price levels to handle it specifically; this is the core approach to resolving the trap.

**1. First, understand how deep you're in the trap**

Losses less than 8 points (shallow trap)? Keep an eye on recent market trends, add positions along the trend to lower the average cost, and wait for a rebound or pullback to a key level to take profits in batches. Greed is a big taboo; take profit when it’s good.

Losses exceeding 10 points (deep trap)? First, reduce your position to stop the bleeding; prioritize risk control. Don’t wait for the market to move in one direction and expand losses further. Once the direction is confirmed, use small positions for swing hedging to recover some, and never hold on blindly until liquidation.

Having positions on both sides (locked-in trap)? Find the midpoint of the lock-in range, handle the losing orders first, then the profitable ones, to prevent being squeezed from both sides. After unlocking, follow the trend to potentially recover some losses.

**2. How to operate based on market characteristics**

*1. Market moves strongly in one direction (unilateral trend)*

Long positions trapped, market keeps falling? If key support breaks, exit; don’t hope for a rebound to save you. If not broken, hold your position, and when a rebound reaches near your cost, cut half of it. The remaining can set a stop-loss at breakeven. During a rebound later, you can open small short positions to offset losses.

Short positions trapped, market keeps rising? If key resistance breaks, stop-loss immediately to prevent further gains; don’t let the increase continue. If not broken, wait for a pullback; when it returns to your cost level, close half of the position, and use trailing stops on the remaining to lock in profits.

*2. Market swings within a range (oscillating market)*

Long positions trapped: Add to your position near the lower boundary of the range to lower the average cost; during an upward rebound, close the portion bought at the lower level and gradually reduce the trapped position. Avoid chasing extreme points at both ends of the range, as this may deepen the trap.

Short positions trapped: Add short positions near the upper boundary to dilute the cost; during a pullback at the lower boundary, close the short positions first; for the original trapped orders, take profits in batches based on the cost. Frequent operations in oscillation only deepen the trap; exercise restraint.

To be honest, this set of theories sounds good, but when the account actually gets liquidated... who will still remember these?

Shallow set-up costs are a well-known tactic, but the problem is that most people don't set them properly; instead, they end up digging themselves deeper, which is the real trap.

Basically, it still depends on the situation. I just can't understand why so many people are holding on even after being trapped...

Another manipulative article, I see "Don't panic" and just want to laugh. Panicking like crazy but still pretending to be calm.

Another margin call rescue guide? Is it really that simple to follow and implement? I'm currently completely trapped, and following your method to add more margin and average down... the more I add, the deeper I go haha

To be honest, I've heard this theory too many times, but the key issue is still execution. I'm the kind of person who knows I should reduce my position to cut losses but stubbornly holds on until liquidation, haha.

It's the same old rhetoric, sounds nice in theory, but in practice, it's a huge loss haha

Honestly, this methodology sounds good, but how many people can actually implement it effectively? I myself have fallen into the trap of the phrase "take profits when you see gains," always greedy to take a little more, only for the market to reverse and wipe out my gains.

To be honest, this set of theories sounds good, but in actual operation, is it really that smooth...

Basically, it's still a game theory equilibrium issue. No matter how perfect this approach is, it can't overcome human weaknesses. How many people nod at this framework and then turn around to chase highs and cut losses, with incentives so distorted that it's unrecognizable.
