The funding rates have been fluctuating quite wildly these days, and there are a bunch of people in the group wanting to hit the opposing side. I personally prefer to avoid the volatility first... To put it plainly, when the rates are extreme, the market isn't "giving opportunities," it's more a reminder that "the sentiment is too full." If you really want to take the opposing side, you need patience, take it in batches, leave yourself an exit, and don't get carried away by a single line. Anyway, I will first look at whether net inflows are matching, whether active addresses are following the heat, or else it's purely relying on guts. By the way, I also thought of the recent NFT royalty wars—it's basically the same: creators want to get more, secondary markets want better liquidity, and in the end, it all comes down to data speaking when the sentiment cools down. That's all for today; gas fees aren't cheap, and reckless moves will only lose more.
