"Don't Panic During the Big Dump of Encryption! Understand the Trap Behind It, Opportunities May Be Hidden in the Panic"



The cryptocurrency market is experiencing another big dump, and many people's first reaction is "It's collapsed." However, behind every drop, there are dissectable logic and patterns. Today, let's talk about whether this round of fall is a temporary adjustment or the beginning of a larger decline.

Let's start with the "old problem" in the crypto world: leveraged trading. Simply put, it means borrowing money to trade cryptocurrencies. With $100 and 5x leverage, you're effectively operating a $500 position. When prices rise, profits double, but if they fall by 20%, the principal will be forcibly liquidated. Recently, as negative news emerged, a large number of leveraged long positions were "liquidated," triggering automatic sell-offs that caused a chain reaction of price crashes, triggering panic selling like a domino effect, severely compressing the market in the short term.

Such big dumps often end within a few days, followed by a typical V-shaped rebound. The reason is simple: the fall is too sharp, and bottom-fishing funds will enter the market; interestingly, short sellers will also cover their positions to stop losses when they see the market reversing, which in turn boosts the price recovery.

Whether the rebound can be sustained depends on the reasons for the fall. If it is due to geopolitical tensions or other "black swans," the recovery may be slow; if it is just a short-term emotional sell-off, the rebound will come quickly.

To determine the current nature of the market, you can refer to CoinGlass: if there are a large number of liquidations in a short period of time, it is likely a short-term fall, so there is no need to panic; if it is due to the Federal Reserve turning hawkish, geopolitical conflicts escalating, or other macro changes, then you need to be cautious—macro negativity is the "big Boss" that affects the market.

Monetary policy, fiscal policy, and international relations; if these three are bearish, the crypto market will struggle to rise even with positive news. At the beginning of this year, there was continuous positive news regarding Bitcoin ETFs, but due to a bearish macro environment, the price of the currency remained stagnant, which is an example.

To determine whether macro factors are at play, you can compare the stock market and the cryptocurrency market: if both sides fall, it may be a global issue; if only the cryptocurrency market falls, it is likely an internal incident—such as project failures, prominent figures fleeing, and other internal factors.

The key is to distinguish between the "temporary" and "permanent" nature of negative catalysts. For example, when an NFT project changes its founder, it may just be a minor disturbance, or even a buying opportunity; but if the team runs away or the funding chain breaks, it is basically hopeless.

For example, with token unlocks, many people fear a big dump, but in reality, the price often falls in advance (because everyone rushes to sell). The unlock itself is not the issue; the core problem is whether there is buying capital—if no one buys, early large holders will offload at low prices, which drags down the price.

Of course, we cannot be blindly optimistic. Some are permanent bearish factors: for example, the United States once closed banks supporting encryption, which directly led to a sharp decline in liquidity. Fortunately, the channels have gradually been restored recently, suggesting that capital may return.

The market is always trying to "scare you". What we need to do is distinguish: is this the real "wolf coming", or just a "false move"?

Don't panic by staring at the price. Ask yourself more: Has the essence of the project changed? Is the team still around? Are users still active? If nothing has changed, it's likely just a temporary fluctuation, and operating against market sentiment may present an opportunity.

The crypto world is never short on drama: liquidation, big dumps, panic, and greed. But only by staying calm can one find opportunities amidst the chaos.

If you are experiencing a big dump, don't rush to liquidate or go all in. Treat this decline as a lesson, learn to understand it, and that will be an upgrade on your investment journey.

From the perspective of opportunity, young people are naturally more receptive to new things and are willing to experiment. Historically, the dividends of each major technological wave have been harvested by those who "cannot understand but dare to get on the bus"—the Internet, mobile payments, and short videos, and now artificial intelligence and encryption are no exceptions.

Cryptocurrency is not just a new form of finance, but an innovation in underlying trust mechanisms and information organizational structures. Blockchain, smart contracts, DAO, DeFi... the distributed logic and technological democratic spirit behind these concepts represent a new generation of game rules. Understanding early and participating early provides an opportunity to seize the initiative.

But new things always coexist with opportunities and risks: the high volatility of the encryption market, the mixed quality of projects, and unclear regulations are all realities.

Therefore, young people should dare to explore the unknown and embrace opportunities with independent thinking.
