Recently, I keep seeing everyone staring at the unlock calendar and calling it “selling pressure.” But I’m more afraid of another thing: oracles feeding prices with a delay. You open leverage, set a liquidation line, and think it’s still far away—yet the on-chain price falls first, while the oracle keeps using the previous round’s quote. Your position looks fine. By the time it updates, liquidation bots rush in and collect slippage and fees together, and in an instant you’re packaged up and taken out. Put simply, you’re not betting on direction—you’re betting on the “update frequency + network congestion + whether someone is willing to feed the price.” These days, I’d rather keep my position smaller, and I pay closer attention to the oracle update interval and who exactly is providing the price feeds, because being liquidated once is something you remember for a long time.
