Recent funding rates have become quite extreme again, and many people in the group are asking whether to take the other side.

My own habit is quite cautious: first see if I can withstand that reverse fluctuation, if I can't, then don't force it; no matter how attractive the rate is, it’s just “looks like giving away money.”
If I really take the other side, I would also reduce my position size and set proper stop-losses, preferring to earn less rather than getting stopped out or liquidated in one go.

Moreover, lately meme and celebrity signals have started to rotate again, and newcomers are easily carried away by emotions and chase after them.
When rates are extreme, it’s often because everyone is crowding to one side…
Old players say not to take the last baton not to show off, it’s not about pretending to be aloof, but because they’ve seen too many times.
Anyway, most of the time I choose to avoid volatility, calmly run through key points, and relax with some cats, sleeping more peacefully.
