Lately, looking at the macro really feels like checking the weather forecast: when interest rates rise, everyone's risk appetite immediately shrinks, and I, as a hands-on trader, have to forcibly hold back. Honestly, when interest rates are high, money just lying around can give a bit of a "sense of security," and in crypto, it's even more like being the first bucket to be drained; positions naturally need to be reduced, or else a retracement will crush your mood.
Then the community is talking about modularization, DA layer narratives, developers are excited beyond measure, while users (including me) are confused: who is paying, where does the money come from... Anyway, my current approach is to stay cautious when macro is tight, keep some bullets; wait for the emotional wave to pass before jumping into narratives, so "I understand" doesn't turn into "I'm trapped." For now, just keep practicing and hold back from overtrading.
