Just plugged in my phone charger, casually glanced at the funding rate, and it was so extreme it was almost ridiculous... At times like this, I usually don't rush to be the hero and take the other side. To put it simply, taking the other side isn't about "being able to withstand a wrong call," but "knowing whether you'll get wiped out by those few quick hits." Especially with that on-chain order sorting + sniping setup, the volatility feels like being shaken by someone, and there's no time to even confirm a stop-loss.
My own approach leans more towards hiding: either wait for the rate to return to normal before acting, or try a small position to test the waters—if I lose, it's just tuition and tea. The inflation + studio + coin price spiral in on-chain games is actually quite similar to extreme funding rates: everyone crowds to one side, and in the end, no one can escape. Anyway, better to pull back first; staying alive is more important than fighting.
