Everyone says it's as easy to make money in a bull market as drinking water, but the tragedies of liquidation, panic selling, and being stuck happen every day—it's not that you have bad luck; you might have stepped into these seven traps:
1. Mindlessly chasing highs, buying and getting stuck.
A bull market ≠ only rising and not falling. Jumping in after a 200% rise and losing your capital after a 20% drop means you are not investing; you are the last one holding the baton in a game of passing the parcel.
2. Disorganized positions, uncontrolled costs.
Light positions at low prices, heavy positions at high prices, or even a full position all at once? When the price corrects, you lose the most. Position management is the first rule of survival.
3. Leverage frenzy ends in liquidation.
With 10x leverage, a 10% drop means it goes to zero. Bull markets have greater volatility; high leverage is not a money printer, it's a wealth destroyer.
4. Superstitious about altcoins, neglecting mainstream.
Looking down on Bitcoin for its 'slow' rise, being obsessed with 'hundredfold altcoins', while mainstream coins are reaching new highs, your altcoins have already gone to zero. Only by holding value can you keep wealth.
5. Not knowing when to take profits, turning profits into losses.
Greedy and never satisfied, always wanting to sell at the highest point, end up getting stuck at the peak. In a bull market, knowing when to sell is even more important; otherwise, it's just paper wealth.
6. Frequent trading, working for the platform.
If you make 10 trades a day, just the transaction fees can eat up three times your capital in a year. You are not a trader; you are the platform's 'lifetime VIP customer.'
7. Emotional control, FOMO chasing highs and cutting losses.
Afraid of missing out as soon as it rises, panicking and cutting losses as soon as it falls—emotion is your biggest opponent.
8. Trusting tips easily, becoming a victim.
The operator pushes the price → Influencer calls the shots → You buy in → Price crashes. The same script, and there will always be someone falling for it.
Ayu summarizes in one sentence:
In a bull market, losing money is not because the market is bad, but because you lack strategy, discipline, and always want to take shortcuts.
Those who can truly survive:
Only invest spare money, stick to mainstream value coins, strictly control position leverage, and have a clear profit-taking and stop-loss plan.
Remember:
Those who don't make money in a bull market will lose even more in a bear market. Investment is the realization of knowledge; you can't earn money outside of your understanding.
Stuck in a position, confused, not knowing how to operate? Don't panic. Follow Ayu, no guessing on rises and falls, just providing plans that can help you profit.
