Just woke up and took a quick look, and the funding rate is once again pushing to the extreme. Half the people in the group are shouting "Opposition traders, push harder," while the other half just close the app and go back to sleep... I personally lean more towards the latter now. To be honest, extreme funding rates don't mean an immediate reversal; they just tell you that the market is too crowded on this side, and it's hard to say who will be the first to panic sell. If I really wanted to take the opposite side, I’d only risk a small position, waiting for that obvious increase in turnover, when the price can't be pushed further but still gets dragged—then I might try to catch a move. Otherwise, I’d just be learning from the "fake move" tactics. Recently, with cross-chain bridge hacks and oracle errors, everyone keeps saying "wait for confirmation," but that’s the same with funding rates: understanding alone isn’t enough; you have to wait for the market to be willing to let you exit. Anyway, I’ll avoid the volatility first—don’t think of yourself as a whale swimming along with the tide.
