This wave of decline is indeed quite sharp. Watching the numbers on the order book go down, I can't help but feel a bit anxious. The hardest part at this moment is to judge: should I hold my position and wait for a rebound, or cut losses and get out?

Honestly, there is no standard answer in times like these. It mainly depends on your risk tolerance and your portfolio structure. If you're all leveraged positions, then you should be more cautious. But if you're using idle funds, sometimes a deeper dip can be an opportunity.

However, one certainty is this: during a decline, it's easiest to scare people out, especially during the first wave of a sharp drop. Often, those panic sell-offs are the starting point for a rebound later.

Of course, everyone's situation is different. If you really can't sleep well, reducing your position to maintain your mental health isn't shameful. After all, there are opportunities in this market at any time, and there's no need to bet all your chips on a single trend.

I just want to ask, do all those who set stop-losses now have to regret it?

It has dropped again and again, and this time it really hurts. Those who bought the dip should be smiling, those caught in the trap should be crying. The key is that it's unclear whether this is the bottom or if it will continue to fall further.

Mindset is the most important; don't get liquidated without even knowing why. Panic selling is like this—sell today, rebound tomorrow, it’s maddening. Playing with spare funds is okay, but full leverage just waiting to be liquidated. Sleep is worth much more than gains; I’m serious. In times like these, it’s actually the moment to buy the dip—depends on whether you dare. Cut losses to protect principal; the next opportunity will come. Don’t think about going all-in at once.

You're getting cut again, and this time it's really ruthless. --- A big drop is just testing your mentality; nothing you say will help. --- Leverage buddy, you should have already been out by now. --- If you can't sleep well, just sell. Losing money makes it even harder to sleep. --- Panic selling is usually a bottom signal; history always repeats itself this way. --- Only idle funds dare to buy the dip; full positions deserve to panic. --- Rebound starting point? I feel like it might still drop further. --- If you can't keep your composure, better get out early to avoid feeling worse later. --- This wave truly tests human nature; cut losses when needed, don't fight it.

technically speaking, panic liquidations are just vulnerability vectors waiting to be exploited... except when they're exploiting *you*. interesting edge case this market presents
