In the crypto world, being trapped is not scary; what's scary is using the wrong method. Many people, once deeply trapped, stubbornly hold on, hoping the next market wave will turn things around. As a result, a 15-minute fluctuation under high leverage can wipe out 20% of gains, and ultimately accelerate liquidation. True experts never do this.

If you're only lightly trapped, you can use the averaging down method to ease pressure. Every time the price rebounds to a resistance level, gradually reduce your position by 20%-30%, and set a trailing stop for the remaining position. This way, you can lock in some profits and leave room for a comeback.

But what if the price drops significantly? At this point, you need to see if the trend has truly turned downward. If the support level still holds and the trend hasn't fully broken, consider pyramid-style averaging down—adding to your position near the support level to lower the average cost. However, the size of the additional positions should be carefully controlled, not exceeding 50% of the original position; otherwise, the risk increases exponentially. Most importantly, set a proper stop-loss buffer.

When the trend clearly turns bearish, don't hesitate—execute the stop-loss immediately. Some people are reluctant to cut losses because they can't accept losing money, but allowing losses to grow infinitely is the real unwillingness. If the direction is truly uncertain, use hedge positions—open a reverse position to lock in profits or losses, and close when the signals clarify.

Remember these iron rules: never risk more than 5% of your total funds on a single trade, never hold a full position, and always include stop-losses in leveraged trading. The essence of getting out of a trap is risk control. Staying alive is always more important than stubbornly holding on to make money. Long-term success in the crypto space depends on rationality and discipline.
