Methods to Unwind Positions, generally divided into two types.

1. Proactive Unwinding Strategies

1. Cut Losses

If it is determined that the purchase was a serious mistake, especially if bought at the peak of a significant bull market, one must have the determination to decisively cut losses to ensure capital safety. There are many opportunities in the cryptocurrency market; as long as the capital does not incur major losses, one can always earn back the money.

2. Swap Coins

If the cryptocurrency held is in a weak position and still has room to fall, and if one accurately judges that another cryptocurrency has greater potential for upward movement, one can decisively swap to the new cryptocurrency to offset losses from the old cryptocurrency.

3. Short Selling

When it is confirmed that you are deeply trapped and unable to cut losses, and the overall market or a specific cryptocurrency has further downside potential, one can consider short selling by first selling the trapped cryptocurrency and then buying it back at a lower price, effectively reducing the cost.

2. Passive Unwinding Strategies

1. Averaging Down

If the purchase price is not high or if one is firmly optimistic about the future market, the averaging down technique can be used. However, ordinary investors typically can only withstand one or two rounds of averaging down, so the timing for averaging down is crucial.

2. Lie Flat

When fully invested and deeply trapped, unable to cut losses or add to positions, one can only wait passively. As long as the money is one's own and not borrowed, there is patience to wait. It is essential not to act emotionally by throwing in the towel, blindly averaging down, or hastily cutting losses. Being trapped is not frightening; sometimes, not being trapped means not making money, and being trapped might lead to significant profits. Therefore, do not simply view being trapped as a disaster; if handled properly, it can indeed turn into an opportunity.
