Basically, holding spot positions and getting liquidated on futures is mostly not about not being able to read the market direction, but about having too much leverage and not willing to admit mistakes. I have one straightforward rule: prioritize staying alive. Don't put all your spot holdings into one shot; divide them into several parts. When prices go up, you can still follow; when they go down, your mindset won't collapse. Futures are even simpler; the leverage you can sleep soundly with is your real leverage. Set your stop-loss and don't keep changing it. Recently, those new L1/L2 projects are pushing incentives to attract TVL, and old users complain "mining, selling." When I see the liquidation waterfall on-chain, I become even more certain: it's lively, but don't let emotions drive your positions. Stay calm, take it slow if needed.
