I just realized I was so stupid earlier... When I saw the active addresses suddenly spike on the chain, I got excited and chased the market price. I thought, "Just a little slippage, no big deal."
As a result, the pool depth was shallower than I expected, and the slippage directly increased my cost. After the trade, that candlestick hadn't even stabilized before it fell back, and I froze instantly.
Honestly, it’s not the market trapping me, it’s my rushing order pace: I could have split it into two trades or placed a limit order to eat it slowly, but I insisted on going all in at once.
Now I see everyone arguing about Layer 2 TPS/fees/subsidies, and I’m too lazy to pick a side... Even if fees are lower, if liquidity isn’t enough and the depth is thin, one slip-up still happens.
I’ll step back first, wait until I find the screenshot, and then decide whether to delete it or not.
