Hoping a losing leverage position will magically return to break even is the easiest way to blow up your portfolio.
We have all been there, watching unrealized losses pile up while paralyzing fear keeps us from cutting the trade before liquidation hits.
A top 30-day volume trader just shared an open long on $ETH perp currently sitting at an unrealized loss of -$18,166.78 $USDT after a -5.49% drop. Even high-volume accounts struggle with the psychological trap of asking if they can still get out flat instead of reassessing market structure.
Some argue that holding through pullbacks on major assets like $ETH or $BTC is fine if you have the margin buffer to survive the volatility. But when momentum turns against you, treating a leveraged trade like a spot bag usually compounds the damage rather than fixing it.
Would you cut the loss here and reset, or hold and pray for a bounce?
