It's unbearably stuffy outside, and the coffee cools down after two sips... I casually checked the blockchain, and everyone is again scaring themselves with "unlock calendar," looping through anxiety about sell pressure. Frankly, retail investors really don't need to study block builders and bundles at a paper level; knowing three things is enough: first, your submitted transactions may not be included in blocks in the order you want; second, large orders/arbitrage are often bundled together, making it easy to be "slightly taken" when chasing or selling; third, during volatile periods or crowded times before and after unlocks, slippage and transaction prices are more likely to change unexpectedly. My approach is very simple: use fewer market orders, allow enough slippage tolerance, and avoid trading at the most emotional moments. It's better to miss out than to be treated as liquidity. Anyway, I pay more attention to volatility than candlestick charts, but I really don't dare to be reckless with my position size.
