ETH's current trend is causing a lot of people to feel overwhelmed. After holding positions for so long, should you stick to your guns or take profits when the time is right? There is no standard answer to this question—ultimately, it depends on your individual cost basis, risk tolerance, and outlook on the market.



Some say ETH's fundamentals are still solid, and there are long-term opportunities. Others feel the short-term pressure is too great and prefer to exit now, waiting for a better entry point later. Both perspectives are understandable.

Rather than obsessing over whether to cut or hold, it's better to ask yourself a few questions: Where is your cost basis? How important is this money to you? What are your expectations for ETH in the next month, three months, or six months? Once you have clear answers, the decision will come naturally.

Markets will always have ups and downs; the key is not to be driven by emotions. If you really can't hold on anymore, taking partial stop-loss orders is better than being trapped. Conversely, if you still have confidence, recognize the risks, prepare mentally, and continue holding—there's nothing wrong with that.

honestly the whole "should i hold or not" thing is just asking the wrong question... technically speaking, if you don't actually understand the protocol dynamics and upcoming changes, you're just gambling with emotions. but sure, ask yourself those questions i guess

Honestly, when you're stuck on these issues, it's probably time to leave... I think, rather than asking yourself where the cost is, it's better to first ask how much longer your wallet can hold out.

If you can't handle it, just run first. You can always get back on the bus. Instead of having a mental breakdown every day, it's better to be more carefree.

To be honest, it's too late to ask about this now; you should have thought about it at the peak.

Honestly, the cost basis is the key; don't be brainwashed by the fundamentals. If you can't hold, sell in batches—there's nothing shameful about it. ETH this wave is indeed disgusting, but cutting losses feels even worse. What about averaging down? Wait, have any of you really used the cost basis to stop loss, or are you all just betting on a rebound? What’s the point of psychological preparation? Face reality early. I'm tired of long-term narratives; short-term stop-loss is more practical. Is partial stop-loss a trick of advanced players? Instead of overthinking, why not go all-in and try a reverse operation? I can't even remember my entry cost anymore. Not cutting will get you killed; cutting might make you regret it. Might as well just lie flat.
