When the liquidation line is just three steps away from the red line, I usually don't think about "whether it will reverse" first. I treat the position as if it could be liquidated at any moment: immediately add some margin, or pay back part of it first. If I can push the line further out, I do it—preferably earning less. To put it simply, liquidation isn't about losing more or less; it's about losing your right to choose.

Actually, recently, with the extreme funding rates, the group has started arguing whether to reverse or continue squeezing the bubble. I, for one, don't follow that sentiment... I only do two things: review the authorization, collateral, and loan details to make sure there are no messy contracts; and slow down the signing process—avoid clicking links if possible. The more "firefighting" is needed, the more phishing attempts come to stir up trouble. For now, surviving is more important than guessing right.
