#数字资产市场动态 What should I do if my trade is trapped? This question can be answered in two steps.

**First Step: Assess How Deeply You Are Trapped**

If the loss is light, it’s easy—keep an eye on rebound opportunities and buy on dips, or reduce positions gradually during rebounds. This can reduce risk and make good use of your principal.

What if you are deeply trapped? Then you should reduce your positions in stages during rebounds or add at key support levels to lower your average cost. The key is to regain control rather than passively wait.

**Second Step: Check the Current Market Situation of the Coin**

If major coins like $BTC and $ETH are confirmed to be in a downtrend, there’s no need to hesitate—clarify the direction, cut losses decisively. The longer you wait, the deeper you get trapped.

If the market is in consolidation or sideways movement, it’s much better—you don’t need to rush to cut losses. Wait until the rebound reaches the upper boundary of the range to exit, or if necessary, take a small loss and exit. It’s better than holding on stubbornly.

For potential coins like $SOL that are in an upward trend, there’s no need to rush to cut losses. Giving it time can create space, and chances are you can not only get out of the trap but also make a profit.

**Final words:**

Pay attention to your position size, identify the trend correctly, and make the right decisions—doing the right thing is more important than anything else. Holding stubbornly will only increase your losses.
