Investing in crypto can be tough. Here's why:

When an asset's price drops by 50%, it's not easy to recover. For example, if a coin's price falls from $200 to $100, it needs to rise by 100% to get back to its original price.

For cryptocurrencies, which have seen even sharper drops of 70-80%, the climb back is far steeper. A coin falling from $200 to $40 needs to increase by a staggering 400% to return to its original value.

This is why many investors find themselves stuck with losses that seem impossible to recover. The math is harsh, and it explains why 95% of people in the crypto market are losing money.

Most investors bought in during the hype, before the crash. Now, only a rare "parabolic rise" can save them.

For those who bought during the recent dips, the chances are better, but the recovery still depends on extraordinary circumstances.

The problem is, there's no strong reason to believe this legendary recovery is coming anytime soon.

Even if something big happens, like a global event that boosts optimism, what comes next? Crypto markets have almost collapsed even during favorable conditions.

If the global economic situation worsens, the crypto market could face one of its toughest tests yet.

This fragility is already evident. Despite slight recoveries, most altcoins haven't regained even 15% of their previous losses.

What's more concerning is the pattern of these price movements. Entire crypto markets often experience synchronized crashes, with hundreds of coins losing value simultaneously.

This raises serious questions about the level of manipulation in the market.

The entry of institutional players has only increased this manipulation. What was once seen as a decentralized space is now controlled by a few powerful players.

For those still hopeful about a crypto rebound, the best strategy is caution. Take profits whenever you see significant gains, no matter how small, and don't hold on for too long.

The crypto winter is not just a possibility; it feels like it's already creeping in.
