In every bear market, 90% of traders lose money.
Not because the market is bad, but because of psychological and strategic mistakes that are entirely avoidable.
After analyzing hundreds of trades, I’ve found that 3 mistakes repeat themselves over and over.
Are you making any of them? Let’s find out.
❌ Mistake #1: Random Dip Buying
• The Problem: Buying every dip without analysis is how you catch a falling knife. Not every discount is an opportunity.
• The Solution: Only buy at strong, confirmed support levels or after you see clear signs of a market structure shift (like a higher low). Use the RSI indicator to identify truly oversold conditions.
❌ Mistake #2: Never Taking Profits
• The Problem: In a bear market, rallies are often temporary (we call them "bear market rallies"). Being greedy for a 100% gain can turn a winning trade into a losing one.
• The Solution: Set realistic targets. Taking a 15–20% profit on a swing trade is an excellent achievement. Scale out of your position by taking partial profits at different resistance levels.
❌ Mistake #3: Having No Cash Position
• The Problem: Being 100% invested leaves you at the mercy of the market. When the real opportunity arrives (the actual bottom), you’ll have no capital to seize it.
• The Solution: Always keep a percentage of your portfolio (20–40%) in stablecoins (USDT, USDC). This gives you peace of mind and the firepower to buy when everyone else is panicking.
✅ How I Apply This Myself:
Personally, I keep a portion of my cash position on a KAST card.
Why? It allows me to spend my profits or use my liquidity directly with a Visa card while earning 5% cashback, without the hassle of sending funds to a bank account.
It’s the perfect tool for managing both liquidity and profits.
