After a liquidation, you need to calmly reflect and not let the market take away your chance to restart.
After a liquidation, you should calmly assess the current situation. What assets can still be salvaged? Are there any urgent expenses? These questions, though painful, should be faced as early as possible to find a starting point for rebuilding.
Revenge trading is an instinctive reaction for many in desperate situations—"I must win it back!" I have seen many friends almost lose their last capital trying to "get even." I advise you not to go down this path.
The first step in rebuilding is not to double your funds, but to stabilize. A stable income source, diversified asset allocation, and a long-term strategic mindset are the underlying logic that will allow you to endure and last longer.
Don’t forget your original intention. You entered the crypto space because you saw some potential or harbored some desire. This original intention and experience will not disappear because of a downturn and liquidation. It may seem like a failure, but you have gained experience and growth.
Most people will choose to exit at this stage. Frankly, my friends have also stood on the edge of giving up. But they ultimately decided: no avoidance, seriously review their trades, bear the losses, and then quietly start again. The next opportunity does not belong to those who rely on luck, but to those who are willing to persist, learn lessons, and maintain resilience.
During the lows, waiting is not idleness; the low period is a window for preparation. Don’t wait until the market explodes to think about learning. It is too late to learn strategies once the market arrives. You need to enhance your analytical skills, learn to understand data, master basic operations, and become familiar with risk control, capturing early signals of trends in advance—don’t wait until it’s a “hot topic” to jump in.
A true winner does not make decisions when the market explodes, but has already positioned themselves when no one is paying attention. Exiting and taking profits is not giving up; it is maturity.
What matters is whether you have organized yourself, whether you can hold your ground amid chaos, and whether you can truly stand in the right position before the next opportunity arises.
This is not an inspirational article but a survival guide.
May you not just survive, but be ready to embrace the next wave of growth.
