Holding a position that's trapped, don't rush to sell off to cut losses. Stubbornly holding on isn't really the solution, but blindly operating will only make things worse. Since the cost of the trapped position is already locked in, the key is to figure out how to get out alive — there’s no fixed routine for this, you need to adapt flexibly to the market rhythm.



Being trapped in a position isn't inherently scary. The real test is whether you can stay calm, find the right direction, and prevent your position from worsening. Sometimes it's not about stubbornly fighting in one direction; instead, you should consider the market rhythm — whether to wait for a rebound to reduce your position or to buy in batches at lower levels.

For example, with the current trends of mainstream coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Binance Coin, trapped traders need to judge based on real-time prices and support levels. Sometimes a good rebound can break the previous deadlock. The key is to be patient, have a strategy, and not let emotions dominate your operations.

It's easy to say, but the key is when will the rebound come? I've already waited so long that even the flowers have withered.

That's true, but the real difficulty is in execution. Emotions are something you simply can't control.

That's right, mindset is really more important than anything else...

Exactly right, but the timing for stop-loss isn't precise enough. It feels like as soon as there's a rebound, I want to hold on.

That's right, the biggest fear of a trapped position is panicked trading. I've also fallen into this trap before. Wait for the rebound before acting, don't be greedy and rush in. Keep a steady mindset, or a sudden crash can break your mental state in minutes. Wait and see if BTC can hold this support level; if not, I need to reconsider. Seeing others lose more than me makes me feel much better, haha.
