Risk Management Guide: How to Stay Calm During Sharp Market Corrections



Seeing your portfolio turn red within hours is the biggest mental test for every crypto investor. In 2026, where market volatility is often triggered by AI algorithms and fast macro news, (panic selling) is the main enemy that can destroy your long-term financial plans.

1. Understanding That Corrections Are "Market Health"

Historically, no asset rises vertically forever. Sharp corrections—often ranging from 20% to 30%—are market mechanisms to "clean out" speculators using excessive leverage. As analysts, we see corrections not as the end of everything, but as a consolidation phase to build a stronger price foundation.

2. The "Cash is King" Strategy

One of the main reasons investors panic is because they are "all-in" at the peak price. Healthy risk management requires you to have cash reserves in (stablecoin).

©Strategic Tips:

Always set aside 10-20% of your portfolio in stablecoins. When the market corrects sharply, this reserve is not only a hedge but also "ammunition" to buy quality assets at discounted prices.

3. Reassess Your Investment Thesis

When prices fall, ask yourself: "Has the fundamental of this project changed, or has the price just dropped due to market sentiment?" If the AI technology, DePIN, or RWA you hold continues to innovate and is used practically, then the price decline is just temporary noise.

"The stock and crypto markets are tools to transfer money from impatient people to patient ones." – Adapted from Warren Buffett.

•• Your Takeaway

Don’t let emotions take the wheel. Risk management isn’t about avoiding losses entirely but about how you survive when storms come. Calm investors are those who have a plan before the market becomes volatile.
