What to do when the market crashes and you're stuck?
I understand the pain of new investors who FOMO into Bitcoin and get deeply trapped!
The core issue lies in the "anchoring psychology"—constantly fixating on the entry cost and seeing losses.
But investing must look forward: capital has a time cost, and holding onto a coin that has halved in value might cause you to miss out on a coin that skyrockets!
💡 Breaking the deadlock golden rule:
Ask yourself, "If I were to be out of the market right now, would I buy it at the current price?"
✅ Yes → Hold firmly
❌ No → Switch positions immediately!
This decision-making model specifically targets the anchoring effect!
📊 A trading plan is a bulletproof vest:
Before buying altcoins, you should preset a 30-50% volatility! Recommendations:
• Use quantitative grid trading for automatic stop-loss
• Long-term players should treat pullbacks as inevitable fluctuations
• Keep positions <10% to sleep soundly
🌐 Eating the bull's tricks: Coin-based rotation!
BTC leads the rise → Switch to mainstream coins (BTC market cap ratio ↓) → Old mainstream coins catch up → Position in altcoins
✅ Coin-based grid trading profits from fluctuations + one-sided trends
✅ Capital efficiency increases by 200%
🔍 In-depth research on fundamentals is the ultimate shield:
A crash tests your faith! Ask:
• Does the project solve a real need?
• Is the team still building during a bear market?
• Would I add to my position if I had money now?
If the answer is no to any of these, switch positions immediately!
⚠️ Beware of the "highlight trap"!
Coins that everyone is chasing (like $DYDX) often:
• Have heavy selling pressure above
• Need months to digest a 30% rise
• Have more downside potential than upside
When the risk-reward ratio worsens, it's better to miss out!
🛡️ Position management is a matter of life and death:
BTC + ETH ≥ 50%!
• Mainstream coin allocation 30-40%
• Altcoin positions ≤10%
This way, even if a black swan event occurs, you can still afford to lose.
🌱 My secret stash: Ambush obscure coins on the left side!
• Find potential projects that no one is discussing
• Build positions in batches and wait for the right moment
• To enjoy a 200% increase, you just need to endure the loneliness.
📌 Ultimate summary:
• Use "hypothetical current price" decisions to break the anchoring
• In a bull market, rely on rotation, not just holding
• Position management >>> fantasies of getting rich
