I'm not very good at catching those all-in opportunities, especially when funding rates are extreme. My first reaction isn't "go for it," but rather to stop and think: who's really holding up whom in this wave? Honestly, watching the other side's position feels satisfying, but what I'm most afraid of is mistaking emotion for structural trend. If you keep holding on, it can turn into a faith-based position.
Recently, with cross-chain bridge hacks and oracle price feed glitches, everyone has been shouting "wait for confirmation." I actually believe more in this consensus: survive first in extreme moments. My usual approach is twofold: either use a small position to test the other side, and if I lose, just take it as a lesson; or simply avoid the volatility, wait until the funding rates normalize and the market isn't so tangled. Anyway, I don't compete to see who gets more excited—just do it this way for now.
