Recently, the feeling of liquidity being drained from the market is so obvious, the order book is as thin as paper, and slippage easily makes people lose their temper. To put it simply, at times like this, I prefer to be a step behind, keep my positions alive first, and not rush to "buy the dip down to the basement."
I usually do two things: reduce my positions, and avoid unfamiliar pools. I wait until I see on-chain confirmation that things haven't stabilized before taking action, and only move when the market reaction is poor and things start to converge.
And those new L1/L2 incentives to boost TVL—it's not unreasonable for veteran users to complain about "mining, selling, and dumping." The excitement is one thing, but when the tide goes out, it's obvious who's swimming naked... Anyway, I won't jump in first. How about you?
