A crypto downtrend doesn't kill you with a punch. It kills you slowly: with hope, with leverage, with the thought "it's going to rebound soon." Surviving a downtrend isn't about making a lot of money, but about not being eliminated from the game. 1. Accept the truth: the market can be bad for longer than you think. The biggest mistake new traders make is: "This drop is too much, it'll definitely rebound." No. Crypto can trade sideways – drop – bleed you dry for months, even years. 👉 The first thing to do to survive is stop predicting the bottom. Nobody needs you to buy at the bottom. The market just needs you not to die. 2. Leverage isn't wrong – but using it incorrectly is suicide. Downtrend + high leverage = a one-way ticket. • X50, X100 in a downtrend • All-in on one trade • Holding onto losses with the belief that "a little rebound will get me back to break-even" 👉 This isn't trading, this is gambling with charts. If still using futures: • Reduce leverage to a manageable level • Only lose a small portion of your capital per trade • Always ask: "If this trade is wiped out, can I still continue?" 3. Cash is the strongest position In a downtrend: • Not entering a trade is also a decision • Holding USDT/USDC is not cowardly Cash helps you: • Avoid psychological pressure • Have ammunition when real opportunities arise • Avoid FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) following weak green candlesticks 👉 The survivor is the one who still has capital when others run out. 4. Don't fall in love with coins – be skeptical of them. Every coin has: • Great narratives • Shill KOLs • Beautiful roadmaps But downtrends don't care about the story. Ask yourself: • If this coin drops another 50%, will I still be calm? • Does it really have liquidity? Or is it just a meme hyped up during a bull market? 👉 In a downtrend, skepticism is a survival skill, not negativity. 5. Fewer trades = longer life Overtrading is a silent killer. • Seeing the chart makes you want to enter • Recovering losses, recovering losses • Having trades every day 👉 Downtrends don't reward the diligent, they reward those who know when to stand still. A week without any trades is perfectly fine. 6. Keeping a clear head is more important than holding the order. Loses aren't scary. Losing control of your emotions is what's scary. • Tired → Rest • Frustrated → Close the app • Want to recover losses → Stop 👉 A surviving trader is a trader who knows when not to trade. Conclusion: A downtrend isn't about proving you're smart. It's a test of: • Your discipline • Your survival • Your presence when the market reverses Bull markets aren't for the smartest. They're for those who survive. Let’s keep survive guys,long life crypto!$BTC $ETH
• Entry: 0.205 – 0.212 • Stop loss (STL): 0.225 • Take profit (TP1): 0.182 • Take profit (TP2): 0.160
Quick reason: Price just surged, approaching a new peak of ~0.21, RSI >70 → a correction is likely. Place stop loss above the breakout zone, take profit at the nearest moving average and consolidation base.
Remember to keep the risk per trade within your tolerance level.
We are buying $ETH at a much cheaper price than ETFs holder!
according to ETF fund analyst James: Ethereum ETF holders are sitting in a worse position than their Bitcoin ETF brethren. The current ETH price of $2,000 is way below their average cost basis of ETF holders at about ~$3,500. It's a painful proposition. But its one that Eth ETF holders have experienced already.
$BTC has hit a new low of 60k, ETH is still at 2k. We will wait to see if ETH retests the 2025 low of 1k3.
• Entry: 0.170 – 0.175 • Stop loss: 0.198 • Take profit: 0.145 / 0.120 This asset is not being heavily promoted at the start, so the price has remained stable and increased, resulting in a very high FDV of nearly 7 billion. There are signs of listing on more exchanges soon, potentially indicating a strong adjustment signal. This asset's price movement is quite similar to asset $NIGHT , however, the current trend is still leaning towards short!
• Entry short: 2.18 – 2.22 • Stop loss: 2.34 • Take profit 1: 2.00 • Take profit 2: 1.92 • Take profit 3 (if strong): 1.85 The fact that good news has come out in recent days has pushed the price up only for the purpose of preparing for massive unlocks, with the market being this bad, the price certainly cannot hold up.
$SUI -$APT less than 1 usdt! Just over 1 month and the results have come too quickly. At this rate, there will be a few more distributions.

$SUI =$APT =1$USDT :inevitable difficulty! Surely not many people thought there would be a day to see the price of 1 ApT equal to 1sui, right? But perhaps that's not even the half of it; there's a possibility we might soon see it equal to 1 usdt as well. The issues with these two coins are quite similar, with a massive FDV, token unlock schedule like a waterfall, and the chain lacking users. The holders of these two coins are probably quite sad; well, as mentioned above, let’s just short gradually, my friends. Whenever the price goes to 1, we’ll pause. Let’s go!
History corner! Did you know that on February 5, 2026, Bitcoin plummeted 13.82% in a single day? This was the eighth largest single-day drop in the past 10 years.
If you still holded your money and avoid liquidation, you could be lucky or a pro.
Looking back, only one candlestick was shown on the chart, but only those who experienced it truly know how terrifying it was.
If you remain in the market, always remember these events as a valuable lesson. $BTC $ETH
Whether the market goes up or down, it's still there. Only users come and go.
Whales have been accumulating massive amounts of Bitcoin during the recent drop.
“On February 6th, 66.94k $BTC in-flowed to accumulator addresses. This was the largest inflow amount in this cycle.” – By @CW8900
The whales bought when the smaller fish, frightened, sold off.
They might incur losses for 1-2 years, but then they'll sell to retailers at a higher price.
Buying BTC at a high price and then seeing the price drop isn't the most important thing; what matters is whether you get liquidated when the price falls.
If you're not worried about being liquidated due to leverage or pressure to sell, you have no reason to be overly concerned when BTC falls.
If you can do that, you're swimming alongside the whales.
Most people didn’t buy $BTC around $60K ,$ETH 1k8 because fear dominated their decision-making.
Now that price is nearly 20% higher, the same people regret missing the opportunity and hope for a deep pullback.
But suppose the price drops back to the 60k-50k range, they'll start to panic again and still won't buy, waiting for even lower price levels.
This is the cycle that keeps the majority on the sidelines:
fear during dips, regret during rallies, and missed opportunities in between.
Clearly, we are just small-scale investors, and our resources are limited. However, once you're in this market, you should at least have a specific strategy.
Money isn’t lost because of the market, It’s lost because emotions override logic
The developments in the IBIT options market on February 5th reflected a similar sentiment. According to data from the market analysis platform MarketChameleon, long-term put options – a hedge against a price drop – traded at record high premiums, exceeding call options. A sharp spread in put options is often a sign of extreme fear in the market.
However, Bitcoin's price showed signs of recovery today. The world's largest cryptocurrency quickly regained the $70,000 mark as soon as the clock struck midnight on February 7th (Vietnam time). Bitcoin then briefly rose to nearly $71,700, recovering approximately 19% from yesterday's low of $60,000. However, since midday, BTC has corrected, currently trading around $68,000.
According to Paul Howard, director of cryptocurrency trading firm Wincent, Bitcoin has returned to price levels last seen 14 months ago. He said $BTC and $ETH trading volumes have also surged to their highest levels in over two years, often signaling a short-term rebound.
