The market's pattern of shaking out trapped positions through repeated fluctuations is the most frustrating phase. It involves upward attempts to lure in longs and downward pushes to trap shorts, repeatedly sweeping out retail traders' stop-losses, making people chase the rally only to get trapped, or cut losses and see the price rise. The more you operate, the more losses you incur.

The market fluctuates back and forth within a certain range, with chasing longs leading to dips and cutting losses causing rebounds, as bulls and bears repeatedly sweep orders; smaller coins are like boiling frogs, gradually declining in low zones with rebounds and repeated bottoming; those heavily leveraged and trapped see their floating losses expand during these shakeouts, risking liquidation.

In this kind of market, the key is not to guess the direction or be swayed by emotions. Hold onto support and resistance levels—don’t stop out unless broken, and act decisively if a level is broken. Within the range, buy the dips and sell the rallies, and do partial T+0 trades to slowly lower the average price with small spreads. Reduce positions to preserve capital, keep some reserves, and wait for a breakout. The more intense the shakeout, the more energy is accumulated. Maintain a steady rhythm, endure the volatility, and eventually, you can successfully unlock your positions and seize the main upward trend. $SOL $ETH $BTC
