When it comes to lending and borrowing, really when you're three steps away from liquidation and hitting the red line, my first reaction isn't "add more to turn things around," but to slow down first, as if updating my mindset: uninstall "I can still gamble a bit" and replace it with "survive first."
Pay back what you owe, reduce leverage a bit, I'd rather earn less than have a needle puncture the whole ship.
Recently, some people have been interpreting large on-chain transfers and unusual activity in exchange hot and cold wallets as "smart money," I also glance at them, but honestly, that's more like reading the wind, not a life raft.
When you're close to the red line, the more information you have, the easier it is to get shaky hands. Anyway, I stick to my own line, leave some buffer, and being able to sleep well is more important than anything.
That's all for now.
