Recently, many traders in the Ethereum contract market have experienced frequent cases of liquidation due to chasing longs, repeatedly adding positions, and ultimately being forced to close positions. Some traders, despite continuous losses on their ETH longs, still choose to add to their positions multiple times, only to be forcibly liquidated at $3,132—this increasing downward operation pattern is often a gamble on a rebound using one's own capital.
On the surface, a sharp decline may give the illusion of a "buying opportunity," but behind it often lies a liquidity trap. Currently, both Ethereum and the entire crypto market are in a high-volatility stage, and the risk of chasing orders far exceeds the risk tolerance of ordinary investors.
My advice to everyone is simple: don't be fooled by short-term false breakouts, and don't impulsively follow others' orders. There are plenty of market opportunities, but your capital is only one set—it's crucial to hold your money firmly in your own hands so that when real opportunities come, you have ammunition to strike. Rational position allocation, strict leverage control, and knowing when to exit are the secrets to lasting longer in the crypto space.

It's the same old story—selling more as the price drops is just asking for trouble.
Watching others explode their orders and still trying to follow the trend, what can I do with my limited capital?
Holding onto your chips is more important than anything else, really.
Being out of the market is also a way to profit; if you can't understand this, you'll eventually lose everything.

It's the same old story, talking about risk control every day, but a bunch of people still end up losing everything.
Most of those chasing are trying to recover losses, and their mindset has already collapsed, so nothing will help.
Someone got exposed at 3132, and when the market rises again, there will be others repeating the same mistakes. Human nature is like that.
The ones who truly make money are those so bored that they go completely flat. Isn't that frustrating?
Want to live longer? First, you need to survive this wave. Honestly, luck plays half the role.

It's another classic trick where a bunch of people bet on a rebound and end up losing everything in the end.

Someone got trapped again, watching others get liquidated is really heartbreaking.
Chasing long positions is just trying to gamble on a rebound, but instead, you get reversed.
Hold your principal tightly, there are always opportunities.
It's best not to be greedy when using leverage; it's a bloody lesson.
Having no positions is also a strategy; you need to have this awareness.

Here we go again, are people still chasing longs during this dip?
---
A rebound, a rebound, every day a rebound but it keeps dropping. Ah
---
Following others to get liquidated, how clueless can you be?
---
Is it so hard to hold your principal? Do you really have to go all in?
---
High leverage = high risk. Why do so many people still not understand this?
---
Every time they say this time is different, but they still get trapped. Laughable.
---
Holding a short position can also be profitable, but no one believes that.
---
Really, don’t chase anymore. Market opportunities are always there; if you lose your life, everything is for nothing.
---
Liquidity traps hit instantly. These are the few old tricks in the crypto world.
---
I want to short, but I’m afraid of missing that 1% gain.
---
Adding to a position until liquidation, blaming the market for my own stupidity.
---
Position management, it sounds simple but it’s really damn hard to do.
---
Leverage is like poison. A few lucky wins make you think you’re an expert.

Another poor soul tricked into a rebound. Honestly, playing like this will eventually lead to bankruptcy.
