#TradingAnalysis101 3 Dumbest Moves You Can Make in a Market Crash
The market is bleeding, and emotions are running wild. But let's be real-most people make the same dumb mistakes over and over. If you want to survive (and profit) from this crash, avoid these three disasters:
1 Panic Selling at the Bottom
You didn't sell when prices were high, but now that everything is down 10-20%+, you're suddenly in a rush to sell? That's what retail traders do-sell low and regret later. Bitcoin fell to $3,100 in 2018, and people swore crypto was over. Then it hit $69,000 in 2021. Ethereum crashed to $80 before skyrocketing past $4K. Solana dropped to $8 after FTX, then pumped 1,000%. Lesson? Don't be the exit liquidity for smarter investors.

Yes, the market is on sale, but who said this is the bottom? Buying the dip is smart, but going all-in too soon is reckless. What if BTC dumps another 15%? What if that altcoin you're DCA-ing into never recovers? Instead:
Use laddered entries (small buys at different levels).

Set price targets and take profits in bull runs.
Rotate into stronger assets when narratives change.
If a coin breaks long-term support, reconsider if it's worth
