Honestly, when the funding rate hits extreme levels, my first reaction isn't to "rush in and take the other side," but to ask myself: Why do I think I can withstand this fluctuation... Most of the time, I prefer to hide, reduce my position, or just watch, waiting for the emotions to cool down before acting. Taking the other side of the trade may look tempting, but when a needle pricks down and the stop-loss slips like it's greased, it's easy to lose your composure.
And now, those on-chain data tools, address labels, and so on, are criticized for being laggy and can even mislead you. I no longer dare to treat "who's buying and who's selling" as gospel. Anyway, my approach is a bit cautious: low leverage + scaling in, preferring to miss out rather than be dragged around by fees and noise. I'm not even sure if it's right, but I'll stick with it for now.
