#以太坊大户持仓变化 What to do after getting caught in a trap? Many people's first reaction is to wait, but in fact, taking proactive action offers much more room for opportunity. Today, let's discuss some truly effective strategies.



**Cut losses when necessary, don't gamble out of frustration**

When caught in a trap, it's easy to fall into the psychological cycle of "just wait a bit longer and I'll break even." But if the pattern has already clearly broken down, the downward space may indeed expand further. At this point, cutting your position is the clearest choice. Instead of being forced to sell at a loss, proactively stop losses to reserve ammunition for the next opportunity.

**Gradual positioning to lower average cost**

The bottom of a bear market is often distributed over time and won't be reached in one step. When prices fall to relatively low levels or clear signs of stabilization appear, you can add small amounts in several stages, averaging down your cost over multiple purchases. The key is to have a sense of rhythm—plan each entry point and capital scale in advance, and avoid impulsively putting all your chips at once.

**Swing trading for slow recovery**

If you have a feel for market rhythm, you can try swing trading during sideways consolidation. When gains reach a certain level, reduce some positions to realize profits; when the market adjusts, buy back at lower prices. Although each trade may not earn much, long-term this approach can significantly lower your average cost. The key is strict discipline and patience.

**Stay calm and extend your time horizon**

Getting caught can indeed cause anxiety, but anxiety doesn't solve any problems. If your initial reasoning for building your position still holds—such as confidence in a certain blockchain's ecosystem development or belief in a project's fundamentals—then consider adjusting your mindset and using time to create space. After major bear markets, those who hold onto their faith often turn the corner.

Market fluctuations are normal. Many people get caught, but those who survive and profit are often those who stay calm at the crest of the waves and stick to their strategies. Don't let daily market movements dictate your actions; follow your own rhythm.

Basically, don't hold a grudge against yourself; just stop when you need to. I used to be the type to wait and wait, but the more I waited, the deeper I got. It's better to recognize the situation early and feel more at ease.

That's right, the key is execution. I'm the kind of person who stubbornly holds on even when caught in a loss. Only now do I realize how important it is to plan and add positions in advance. Don't like me, putting all your assets in at once.

It sounds good, but when it actually happens to me, I still get anxious. I'm the kind of person who just wants to wait once I get in...

Honestly, the biggest fear when trapping a position is stubbornly not cutting losses, resulting in getting deeper and deeper.

That's right, holding on blindly is just asking to lose. I'm currently doing swing trading, and although I don't make much, at least my mindset is much better.
