The signal in the commuting elevator is flickering, so I keep an eye on a few key points: whether the oracle feed price is keeping up, and whether there’s a sudden increase in large on-chain transfers. Basically, if you’re using leverage, during liquidation, what matters isn’t “what do you think the price is,” but “what is the price fed into the contract.” If the feed price is delayed, and the market swings sharply then bounces back, you might see no issue from outside, but the contract could have already liquidated you at the old price… and you’re still refreshing/retrying, the page spinning as if waiting for a verdict. Recently, new L1/L2s are offering incentives to boost TVL, and old users are complaining about mining, farming, and selling. I’ve given up too; anyway, I keep my positions lighter now, so I don’t entrust my fate to delays.
