So here’s the situation: TREE launched, I jumped in right before the spot listing launch at $1.30 — classic launch FOMO. It dumped. Hard. Most would panic sell, cut losses, and move on.

💡 But instead of selling at a loss and regretting it later when it bounces back (yep, been there), I tried something else: I averaged down.

At $0.88, I added more.

At $0.79, I threw in even more.

Then today, when it dipped again to around $0.50, I stacked up again.

Why? Because a) It brought down my initial entry from 1.30 to 0.79, which is doable in a potential rebound and b) I didn’t want to be the guy that sells at the bottom and watches it fly the next day.

This isn’t advice. It’s a strategy I’m testing for the first time — and yeah, it’s risky. But sometimes, instead of panic-selling, you can take control of your position and shift your break-even point closer to where the market might actually rebound.

❗Of course, this only makes sense if you’ve done your research. and I made sure TREE didn’t show the typical signs of a rug or scam:

> Dev wallet isn’t dumping.

> Listings happened through legit launchpads, not backdoors.

> There's still consistent volume and holder growth.

> And most importantly: the team hasn’t disappeared — they seem to have a roadmap beyond the listing hype.

> Additionallly, looking at the 1h and 4h charts and technical indicators, it does look like its found its bottom (for now) and curling up again!

So I believe this isn’t just another pump-and-dump. But you gotta dig deep before using this approach on any token.

After laddering in like this, my average price is now way lower than where I started. I’m not saying this will moon. It might go sideways or even dump further. But at least I’ve given myself a better shot at breaking even or maybe even catching a rebound, instead of just locking in a loss and watching the chart mock me later.

Again — this isn’t “the way.” It’s one way, and I’m sharing it for those of you who’ve felt the same frustration after selling too early. Just make sure if you do this, you’re using amounts you’re fine to sit on for a while. And always be honest with yourself: this strategy isn’t about revenge trading, it’s about positioning smarter — if you believe the project is legit.

$TREE might still have catalysts. I’m watching closely.

But if nothing else, maybe this post gives you an extra angle to consider next time a coin dumps right after you buy.

— Let’s see how this one plays out.
