Once my lending position is only three steps away from liquidation, I stop gambling on luck with myself... First, I put my pride aside. The first thing is to take a screenshot of the position and run the numbers again: how much safety cushion is left, how much to add to support another day, then either add some collateral or repay a small portion first, don’t think about “pulling away quickly.” I usually prefer small amounts multiple times, staying more stable mentally.

The second thing is to change “market watching” to “on-chain monitoring”: not to predict price rises or falls, but to confirm whether there are any sudden liquidity traps in my collateral. Recently, those on-chain data tools and tagging systems have been criticized for lagging, so I don’t trust tags too much; I prefer to check two sources, and see if big players are repositioning.

If you’re also close to the red line, honestly, surviving first is more important than aesthetics and storytelling… Anyway, when liquidation hits, artistic collages won’t save you. That’s all for now.
