Just when everyone thought the calm had returned, Bitcoin suddenly plunged without warning near $100,837, diving straight down to $99,737 in just a few minutes. Just as everyone thought it was going to 'cool off,' it rebounded quickly as if it were on a spring, breaking through the $103,000 mark within an hour! This move is definitely a classic 'whale' trap to lure shorts.
Anyone with eyes knows that the news of the U.S. military airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities was leaked in advance! The market makers, relying on insider knowledge, acted early to crash the market and create panic. When retail investors rushed in to short, the news was announced, and they violently pushed the market up, causing a large number of short positions to get liquidated. Watching the contract interface filled with red liquidation orders, the retail investors’ capital was drained, it’s too tragic!
But don’t panic, quickly take note of the following tips for coping with extreme market conditions; they can help you preserve your 'wallet' in critical moments!
1. Stop-Loss Settings: A Lifeline in Extreme Market Conditions
Regular stop-losses can easily 'fail' during extreme volatility because the price might instantly breach your stop-loss level without triggering it. The correct approach:
1. Pre-allocate a safety cushion: If your maximum acceptable loss is 500U, leave at least 550U in your contract account, with the extra 50U serving as a buffer in extreme market conditions.
2. Diversify capital risk: Move most of your funds to a spot account, using only a small portion for contract trading to avoid total loss.
💡 Binance operational demonstration: In the contract order interface, select 'Stop-Loss Order', set your stop-loss price, and remember to check 'Reduce Position Only' (to prevent forced liquidation in extreme market conditions).
2. Isolated Margin Mode: A 'Blast-Proof Tool' for Beginners
Strongly recommend beginners use isolated margin mode! Each position independently calculates risk; even if one position hits a stop loss, it won't affect the entire account.
✅ Core Advantages:
- Risk Isolation: For example, if you open a BTC short and an ETH long with 1000U, the two positions do not affect each other.
- Precise Control: The maximum loss for each position is just the margin you put in; it won't 'deepen your losses.'
💡 Binance setup steps: Enter the contract trading interface → Click the 'Cross/Isolated' button at the top right → Select isolated margin mode → Adjust the margin ratio for each position.
3. Recognizing Market Maker Tricks: How to Avoid Becoming 'Fodder'
1. Advance positioning on news: Before major events (like geopolitical conflicts, policy changes) are announced, closely monitor significant on-chain fund movements (you can use on-chain detective tools to check whale address activity);
2. Beware of spike events: A sudden rapid drop followed by a rebound might indicate market makers are sweeping retail stop-loss orders. At this time, don’t blindly chase shorts or longs; first observe if the 15-minute candlestick holds above key support levels;
3. Control Emotional Trading: After consecutive losses, don't rush to break even; take a break for 1 hour before trading again. After making profits, don’t get overexcited; take profits in time to secure gains.
4. Capital Planning in Extreme Market Conditions
- Long-term capital allocation: 70% of funds in the spot account for holding major coins, 20% for short-term contracts, and 10% as emergency reserves.#币安Alpha上新 #币安HODLer空投SAHARA #加密市场反弹 #币安HODLer空投NEWT #币安钱包TGE
