These days, watching the market feels a bit like a tide going out, with order books so thin it's ridiculous, and I have to think twice about entering or exiting.
I'm not so concerned anymore about whether it's the bottom; I'm more worried that if liquidity suddenly dries up, slippage could swallow me whole.
The same goes for obscure protocols—after TVL drops, the fee rates and retention become especially honest: whether people are genuinely using it or if it was just propped up by hype, you can tell at a glance.
On the macro side, they're talking about rate cut expectations, the US dollar index rising and falling with risk assets—basically, when emotions run high, everyone gets pulled in different directions.
When a sudden brake hits, being able to smoothly exit is more important than anything else…
I'll just make my positions more comfortable for now, keep some bullets ready, and avoid forcing a bottom.
That's all for now.
