Cutting losses: After buying virtual currency, if the price drops, sell it at a loss to prevent further losses. Alternatively, if you short-sell and the price rises, buy back at a loss.
Trapped: Expecting the price to rise, but the price falls after buying; or expecting the price to fall, but the price rises after selling.
Breaking even: After buying virtual currency, if the price falls and results in a temporary loss, but later recovers to turn a profit.
Missing the opportunity: After selling virtual currency due to pessimism about the market, the price rises continuously, and failing to buy back in time results in missed profits.

Bull trap: After a prolonged consolidation, the likelihood of a decline is high, and short sellers have sold their virtual currencies.
