CLO's movement around 7:40 AM yesterday is worth noting. From a retrospective perspective, the technical analysis at that time indeed indicated there was still room for an upward move, with the peak expected around 0.85. This judgment was already publicly shared through charts and analysis ideas at that time.

However, subsequent developments have changed. The exchange adjusted the fee structure and there is an upward trend. This directly affected the previous short strategy—the orders originally planned to be executed at that level were ultimately canceled.

Why was such a decision made? Mainly due to considerations for long-term holdings. If the fee rate continues to rise, it will impose significant cost pressure on long-term holders, which is an implicit cost that must be considered in long-term trading. Instead of risking further fee increases and stubbornly holding a position, it’s better to stay flexible. Although this market movement appears to be an opportunity from a technical standpoint, after weighing the risk and reward, the decision was made to temporarily avoid it. This is a common trade-off—not every promising opportunity is worth copying.

A rate increase directly changes the entire situation—that's reality. Even when you see the right move, you have to know when to let go; otherwise, hidden costs will eat you up. I didn't expect the exchange to do this; it truly tests people's flexibility.

ngl the fee structure flip is exactly why most people get liquidated - they obsess over the technicals but completely ignore the actual cost basis, which is, empirically speaking, the real game here. if you actually analyze the data instead of just staring at charts, funding rates are literally eating your alpha. respect the pivot.

Whenever the fee rate increases, the plan needs to be adjusted—that's the reality of trading. Even if you get the right direction, you don't necessarily have to go all in; this kind of insight is very important. It's a bit of a pity that 0.85 wasn't bought, but long-term gains are more important.

Fees are really incredible, capable of eating away half of the profits When the market moves in your favor, you actually need to hide; this is reality 0.85 didn't hit, but the fee rate went up, heartbreaking Sometimes just staying alive is a victory Smart people are calculating implicit costs, while I’m still calculating transaction fees What sounds good is called flexibility; what sounds bad is being rubbed on the ground by fees Not every correct decision is worth gambling on; this kind of insight is very important

Raising the fee rate means changing the strategy, that's the reality... If you see it correctly, you still have to let it go. It's a bit uncomfortable but understandable.

Whenever the fee rate rises, you have to admit defeat. This is the real skill for long-term survival. --- Damn, when the exchange fee rate adjusts, the entire situation changes. No one can avoid these hidden costs. --- Sometimes, not buying at the right level is why some people can survive until today. --- Even a 0.85 opportunity must be sacrificed; the impact of the fee rate is too terrifying. --- You don't always have to rush; choosing to dodge this wave is quite rational. --- Exchange fee rates are really more deadly than technical analysis... --- Sometimes, playing it safe is the most stable operation.

Fees are truly like invisible knives; you might get cut even when you pick the right level... The technical analysis isn't wrong, but reality can be so heartbreaking. Sometimes not copying is the smartest move to copy.
