The AXS funding rate settlement is coming in less than 15 minutes. This time window is actually quite delicate—if you can make a final move before settlement, catching this small peak is the most comfortable operation. Many people get stuck at this point and can't catch it; once the rate returns to normal, the difficulty increases significantly.

Honestly, if you can't catch it, don't force it. Liquidity during the weekend is usually average, and there's no need to increase risk for a little profit. Instead of forcing a trade, it's better to pause and wait for a clearer opportunity. Less trading is always more profitable than more trading—this is a principle even veterans understand. Especially for time-sensitive trades like rate cycles, poor timing can easily lead to losses. Take a break when needed, and don't let the weekend become the source of a week's nightmare.

No more chasing this weekend, let's wait until next week when liquidity is better.

Fee settlement is really a test of execution—if you're half a beat slow to react within the 15-minute window, you'll end up with a lot of pitfalls. But honestly, pushing through on weekends when liquidity is so poor is pointless, no matter how high the verification efficiency.

Those who hard play with the weekend fee rate are all losing money; I choose to lie flat.

Weekend liquidity is poor; forcing it is just asking for trouble. --- The 15-minute window is indeed sweet, but if you can't catch it, there's no need to force it. --- Fees are all about timing; a bad rhythm means losing everything. --- Instead of chasing this wave, better to sleep first and come back next week. --- Honestly, doing less often earns more than being busy. --- Weekends are inherently risky; don't risk your good mood for a week. --- Can't catch the high? Then don't, why self-torture? --- Trading during low liquidity usually means giving money to the market makers. --- Those few minutes before fee settlement look comfortable, but actually operating during that time is really difficult. --- Rest is also part of trading; many people don't understand this.

Playing with fees over the weekend is just asking for trouble. I advise you not to follow the trend.

The liquidity is so poor over the weekend, still trying to catch falling knives. No wonder you're losing money, haha.

Trying to buy the dip during such poor weekend liquidity is just asking for death.

Weekend fee window, I didn't catch it anyway, so just watch the show. If you really want to chase, might as well go all in directly, anyway, losing is losing thoroughly. Poor liquidity is just a trap, don't fall into it.

Still monitoring the market over the weekend, I really have too much free time. Wait, can we catch this wave of rates? It feels like liquidity is a bit weak. We agreed on a rest, but now my hands are getting itchy again.
