Recently, I've been paying more attention to macro news than to candlestick charts... When interest rates tighten, risk appetite shrinks back like water being pumped out. My positions can only follow suit and become more cautious: better to earn a little less than to rush in during poor liquidity, especially on-chain where a small slippage can get you squeezed.

What's even more amusing and frustrating is that everyone is shouting about AI Agents automating trading to "free your hands," but they don't even check the routing or verify permissions, treating their wallets like experimental guinea pigs. In other words, when interest rates rise, market sentiment is already prone to flipping, and handing over trades to scripts to blindly click is like giving the trap a warm hug... Anyway, I now wait two more minutes before placing an order, first confirming the routing and splitting small orders. If I can do it manually, I do it manually. That's the plan for now.
