Brothers stuck at 220 and 210 dollars, are you getting more anxious the more you look at SOL's K-line? Hoping for a rebound before bed, only to wake up to even greater unrealized losses, even considering "maybe I should just cut losses?" Don't panic!

In this seemingly deadlocked market, whales have already been secretly laying the groundwork for a reversal. Te Ge's unique method for cutting losses must be watched until the end — it might just help you recover your unrealized losses and catch the next surge!

Te Ge's unique method for cutting losses: don’t hold on stubbornly, use techniques to "nibble back" the losses.

1. Grid trading self-rescue method: let the account "earn the difference to reduce losses".

Stop waiting for "a single rebound to break even"! Referring to Binance Alpha's latest real-time data, we can break down the 195-215 dollar range for SOL into "profitable grids" with a node set every 2% — super simple to operate:

For example, if you added to your position at 200 dollars with 1000 USDT, first set 3 "take profit points": 205, 210, 215 dollars, and sell 1/3 when it rises; then set 3 "add to position points": 195, 190, 185 dollars, and add 1/3 when it drops.

Last week, Chen from the community did just that — he was previously stuck at 198 dollars, and made three grid trades between 176-186 dollars, selling at a 2% rise and buying at a 2% drop. By the end of the week, his cost had dropped directly to 192 dollars, and his unrealized losses were almost halved! Now he just waits for a rebound, and maybe next week he can break even.

Remember: a grid is not about "betting on an increase"; it’s about making money from volatility. Even in a sideways market, you can lower your cost by selling high and buying low.

2. Options hedging black technology: provide "double insurance" for your positions, not afraid of drops while also profiting from rebounds.

Don't think that options are just for "big players"; ordinary people can also use them as arbitrage tools! Look at Deribit's latest options data for August 26: the implied volatility of the 200 dollar put option is 18% lower than that of the call option — this means "the market thinks SOL can't drop much, but there's still room for a rebound."

At this time, we operate like this: sell the 200 dollar PUT (which can earn premium, equivalent to giving a "discount" on adding to the position), while simultaneously buying the 210 dollar CALL (locking in rebound profits, and if it rises above 210, the profits can double).

Last week, a large holder saved their position using this method: they had previously opened a short position at 215 dollars, and when SOL rebounded to 208, the short position had dropped nearly 30%. After hedging with this method, not only did they earn 5% in premium from selling PUT options, but they also locked in gains above 210 dollars with CALL options, ending up reducing the drawdown to 8%, equivalent to "losing 22% less"!

3. Ecological dividend ambush technique: don't focus on main chain volatility, earn "side income".

The opportunities for SOL are not just in the main chain price! The Solana Seeker phone is about to be shipped, and looking back at historical data shows: every time SOL's ecosystem released hardware, the average related tokens could rise by 27% in the 30 days prior — this is a guaranteed "ecological dividend"!

Now, instead of stubbornly holding SOL, it might be better to allocate some positions to ambush JitoSOL or Marinade: on one hand, you can earn 5%-8% staking rewards (equivalent to giving your account a "salary"), and on the other hand, if the Seeker phone ignites the ecosystem, these tokens can also rise along with it, effectively "hedging main chain risks while earning double profits."

Just like last year before the BONK explosion, Xiao Li in the community didn't keep his eyes glued to SOL, but instead ambushed a small coin in the ecosystem in advance. As a result, when the ecosystem heated up, the small coin tripled, not only covering the unrealized losses of SOL but also earning quite a bit more — this is the trick of "catching a wolf with empty hands"!

Three major signals on the eve of a surge: Whales are waiting, don't miss out!

Don't think that breaking even is enough; this wave of SOL may trigger a "big reversal". Three signals have already lit up:

1. Sharp increase in open interest: shorts still holding on, whales secretly building positions.

On August 25, SOL's perpetual contract open interest (OI) suddenly surged 23%, but the funding rate is still negative — this means "many people are still opening short positions betting on a drop, but whales are quietly adding long positions." Looking back at the data before SOL broke 200 dollars in 2021, it was also a 20%+ increase in OI with a negative funding rate, and then it surged from 180 dollars to 260 dollars, a rise of 44%! The current signals are almost identical to those back then.

2. Whale movements: the "transfer password" of Coinbase's cold wallet.

Key on-chain data reveals: Coinbase's cold wallet has transferred large amounts of SOL to Binance for three consecutive days, each time in the hundreds of thousands, amounting to several tens of millions of dollars. More astonishingly, these whale addresses made three precise bottom buys when SOL was at 170 dollars — buying every time it fell to 170. Now transferring coins to Binance clearly indicates they are waiting for the opportunity to rally, not to dump!

3. Death cross reversal: "Bullish signal light" on the 4-hour chart.

Good news is also coming from the technical side: SOL's 4-hour EMA20 (short-term moving average) is about to cross above EMA50 (long-term moving average), which is a "golden cross signal"! Looking back at July 14, when the same EMA20 crossed above EMA50, SOL surged from 147 dollars to 215 dollars, an increase of 46%! Now this signal is about to appear again, meaning the market is signaling, "Get ready to rise."

"Te Ge, can we add to the position now?" — A private message at two in the morning hides the key to breaking even.

At two in the morning, a message popped up on my phone: "Te Ge, SOL is now 195, can we add to the position?" I stared at the support level of 195 dollars on the screen, suddenly reminded of how ETH looked at 170 dollars in 2018 — back then, many people asked, "Should we cut losses?" Eventually, ETH rose from 170 to 1400 dollars.

History doesn't repeat itself simply, but it always carries the same rhyme. Now the 195 dollar support level for SOL is like ETH's 170 dollars back then, and tomorrow there's the Solana Alpenglow vote — this is a "big event" in the ecosystem and could very well be the catalyst for a market surge. If we cut losses now, we might just end up cutting at the bottom.
