Today I saw someone post a "whale entry screenshot" preparing to follow the trade... I now tend to pause for two minutes first. To put it simply, a large order doesn't necessarily mean bullish/bearish; maybe they are holding spot, and a perpetual contract trade is just hedging, or even just repositioning. Jumping in blindly can easily turn into providing liquidity for them.

A small habit I have to stay calm: first check if the open interest and funding rate are reacting in sync, then see if the large order footprints are sweeping continuously or placing orders in batches. If OI hasn't increased much and the funding rate isn't cooperating, it's probably not "building a position for takeoff," and I just consider it passing by.

Recently, memes and celebrity calls have become popular again, attention shifts very quickly. Veteran traders advise newcomers not to catch the last wave, and that’s no lie... I shout strongly in direction, but my stop-loss is even faster, prioritizing survival. That’s all for now.
