Just now, another big bullish candle got me feeling restless and wanting to FOMO. When I saw the funding rate spiking to ridiculous levels, my first reaction was still to rush in and become a FOMO warrior… but now I’m going to force myself to pause: either take a small position and act as the counterparty’s “sweeper monk,” or just avoid the volatility—don’t force yourself onto the dining table. To put it plainly, back when the funding rates were extreme, the market’s sentiment was more fired up than the spicy snacks I eat; whether the direction is right or not, the drawdown is really what can snap people back to their senses.

I need to be reminded: once a plan is written, follow it—don’t change the script just because a few candles show up. And also, recently hardware wallets have been out of stock, and there are more phishing links—especially at times when emotions are running high, it’s easier to click on the wrong things… Anyway, I’d rather make a little less right now than crash and burn in this “overheated + quick hands” combo. That’s it for now.
