These days, I've noticed the funding rates are starting to become extreme again, and I actually feel a bit less inclined to "go head-to-head." To be honest, when the rates are ridiculously high, taking the other side of the trade is indeed profitable, but what I fear most as an impatient person is: you have the right direction, but you're knocked out by volatility, ending up with a profit from the rate but a loss of your mindset... So I usually reduce my position first, and wait until that emotional peak where "everyone is betting on the same direction" before lightly probing the other side. If I get it wrong, I admit it—don't cling to the fight.

Recently, the unlocking of staking and unlock calendar have been discussed over and over again, causing anxiety about selling pressure, making the group chat feel like a ticket rush during the New Year. My colleague even asked me, "Should I run early?" I can only say: I don't know, just keep the positions that let me sleep well, and reduce those that keep me awake. Anyway, don't let the rates set your rhythm.
