I've started recording my "liquidity sense": when the order book is thin and orders are being canceled one after another, I know not to be stubborn today. Honestly, when liquidity dries up, whether you buy the dip or not becomes secondary; surviving first is what matters for the next opportunity. Recently, everyone is watching staking unlocks and unlock calendars every day, anxious about selling pressure. I do look at them too, but I won't rush to bet on a reversal... The biggest benefit of recording this is that it makes me less stubborn: if I lack confidence, I reduce my position and move less, keep some bullets, and slowly pick up bargains. Anyway, when the market isn't favorable, resisting the urge to trade is also a form of trading.
