The weekend crypto market has extremely low liquidity, and any small movement can be amplified. To avoid being wiped out by a "black swan," the core strategy is eight words: reduce leverage, control positions, widen stop-losses.

"Defensive actions" before market close on Friday

Clear high leverage: Make sure to close all contracts with over 5x leverage by Friday night. Only keep spot holdings over the weekend, or at most 2-3x low leverage (limited to BTC/ETH).

Stay away from trash coins: Clear out low-market-cap altcoins and meme coins. These assets are easily targeted by whales or manipulators over the weekend, and liquidity can dry up, making it impossible to escape.

Reserve stablecoins: Maintain 20–30% in USDT/USDC as "dry powder," to handle sudden crashes and prevent emotional imbalance from full liquidation.

"Risk control iron rules" for weekend holdings

Widen stop-losses to prevent stop-hunts: Weekend volatility is high, so set wider stop-loss levels. Suggest placing them 5–7% outside key support/resistance levels to avoid being stopped out by normal false breakouts.

Disable market orders: Weekend trading volume is thin, and market orders can cause large slippage. Always use limit orders, buy 1–2% below the desired price, sell 1–2% above.

Close software to prevent impulsive actions: Weekend news can be fake or misleading, and technical indicators may distort. Reduce screen time to avoid panic or FOMO-driven impulsive trades.

"Bottom line" for extreme market conditions

Single trade risk < 2%: Any trade (including spot) should have a preset loss limit of no more than 2% of total funds. This way, even with consecutive misjudgments, the principal can be preserved.

Beware of "pin" rebounds: If encountering a sudden plunge ("pin"), do not blindly short or cut losses. Liquidity often recovers quickly afterward, and reckless actions can lead to double losses.

The weekend is for rest, not for increasing leverage. The safest strategy is: close all contracts on Friday, and re-enter on Monday.
