These past two weeks have really been affected by the attention economy: one hot topic hasn't been fully understood before the next narrative pulls you away. The easiest feeling to get cut is not being wrong about the direction, but the moment you chase in, the order book suddenly "thins out," and the depth looks great, but when the order cancellation rhythm changes, you're left standing guard... Fake liquidity is really annoying.
Recently, everyone has been obsessively watching staking unlocks and token unlock schedules, with anxiety about selling pressure flying everywhere. To be honest, I’m not following the emotions now: first, look at whether there are continuous cancellations + sudden widening of the spread in the few minutes before and after the unlock. If so, treat it as a warning; better to miss out than to force a trade. To survive longer in the short term, when hot topics rotate, set a "cooling-off period" for yourself, wait until the order book stabilizes before acting. Anyway, you can't make that one or two profits in a hurry. That’s all for now.
