The 3 Worst Mistakes You Can Make in a Market Crash 🚫🤦‍♂️

Markets are tanking. Fear is everywhere. But let’s be honest—most people keep making the same painful mistakes that wipe them out. If you want to survive (and thrive) during this crash, avoid these three killers

1️⃣ Panic Selling at the Bottom 🚨

You didn’t sell when prices were high… but now that everything’s down 20%+ you want out? That’s the retail trader special—sell low, regret forever.

• Bitcoin crashed to $3,100 in 2018—people said it was dead. It later hit $69K.

• Ethereum dropped to $80—then soared past $4K.

• Solana fell to $8 after FTX—and pumped 1,000% after.

Lesson? Don’t be exit liquidity for smarter, patient investors.

2️⃣ Going All-In on “Buying the Dip” Too Early 💰

Sure, dips are opportunities—but who said this is the bottom?

• What if BTC drops another 15%?

• What if that altcoin you’re DCA-ing into never recovers?

Instead, be smart:

✅ Ladder in—small buys at multiple levels.

✅ Keep cash ready for deeper dips.

✅ Focus on high-conviction projects like BTC, ETH, XRP—not hype coins with no future.

3️⃣ Holding Bags Forever & Ignoring Reality 🔄

“HODL forever” sounds good—until you’re holding coins that never come back. Just ask anyone who held LUNA, Celsius, or Voyager.

• Some altcoins will never see new all-time highs.

What to do instead:

✅ Set targets—take profits in bull markets.

✅ Rotate into stronger projects when narratives shift.

✅ If a coin breaks long-term support—rethink holding it.

Bottom Line?

Surviving a crash isn’t about luck. It’s about having a plan, staying patient, and avoiding dumb mistakes. Play it smart—or pay the price.
