Hey, after staying up for a few nights, staring at funding rates until my eyes are almost blind. Lately, I’ve been seeing people in groups asking every day about terms like block builders and bundles. It feels like everyone is afraid of missing some secret weapon.

I thought it through myself—if you’re doing short-term trades, you basically just need to know what “bundle” means. It’s just a small tactic for miners to package transactions, letting you cut the line or avoid getting sandwiched. Retail users really don’t need to dig into those complicated MEV strategies; in any case, you can’t compete with those professional machines. Just knowing that it exists is enough—you only need to stay away from it.

Now macro sentiment is a mess—rate-cut expectations and the U.S. Dollar Index are rising and falling together, and crypto over here is getting spooked along with it. Anyway, tonight I’ll keep acting like a guard: I’ll check whether the funding rate shows anything abnormal. If it does, I’ll grab a move quickly; if not, I’ll go to sleep. That’s it for now.
