Actually, everyone understands that once a loan reaches the liquidation line, it’s just three steps, and the mentality is the easiest to collapse: the more you watch, the more you want to hold on; the more you hold on, the more you dare not move. My own simple method is to stop first and not add leverage, open the dashboard and calculate clearly “how much more it can fall” (don’t rely on feelings), then do something immediately to reduce risk: either add some collateral or pay off part of the debt first, anyway, push the red line downward. If you really don’t want to add to your position, just cut it down a bit, don’t force it to save face.

Recently, whenever there’s a large on-chain transfer or a movement in hot or cold wallets, someone yells “smart money is coming / about to crash,” I also get itchy to check, but honestly, that stuff is more like an emotional amplifier… When I see this now, I remind myself: prioritize survival, don’t get caught up in the narrative of “others are very knowledgeable” and treat liquidation as a lottery. For now, that’s it—staying alive is more important than being right.
