What to do if you are caught in a position? Listen to what experienced traders have to say

**Step 1: Understand your predicament**

Lightly trapped positions are relatively easier to rescue. Seize the rebound window, exit at the safest point; or reduce your position gradually in stages, which can both lower risk and prevent missing out on subsequent opportunities by exiting all at once.

If you are deeply trapped, you need to find a way. Choose to reduce your holdings in stages during rebounds, or add modestly at key support levels to lower your average cost, and regain control.

**Step 2: Clarify what the market is doing**

A clear downtrend is in front of you? Don’t dream about it. Cut your losses decisively; the longer you drag it out, the more damage you’ll do. This is the simplest principle in trading.

If the price is just oscillating within a certain range, there’s no need to panic and cut losses. Wait until it rebounds to the upper boundary of the range before taking action, or accept small losses to stop out—it's always better than being stuck at the bottom.

The uptrend isn’t over yet, so there’s no need to rush to stop loss. Give it some time; chances are you won’t just get out of the trap but might even see profits. #战略性加仓BTC $BTC $SOL and other mainstream coins often follow this logic in a bull market.

**Core advice:** First, assess how badly your position is hurt, then look at the trend of the coin, and combine both to make a reliable decision. Simply holding on stubbornly won’t solve the problem.
