When the funding rate hits an extreme, my first reaction isn't "get in," but rather to ask myself: Is this wave driven by emotion, or is there a real structural gap on the chain? In plain terms, when the rate can push people to the same side, taking the opposing position is indeed very tempting, but after experiencing moments like block stalls/reorganizations where "your direction is right but still useless," I prefer to avoid the volatility first and wait until the numbers are more confirmed before acting.

Recently, a bunch of testnet incentives and point expectations are flying around, and the group is guessing daily whether the mainnet will issue tokens... In such times, it's easier to treat positions as votes. Anyway, my current approach is somewhat cautious: if the rate explodes, I shrink my position first; if I do go against the trend, I only use a small amount, leaving room for "the network not following the script." I need to be reminded: don't treat short-term rates as certainty, and don't joke about the randomness of liquidity and infrastructure.
