#BinanceABCs Next: Rate Countdown Practice — From Passive Payments to Active Arbitrage (3)

⏳ Your Trading Biological Clock
Remember these key times: UTC 00:00, 08:00, 16:00
Every 8 hours, the system automatically completes a long/short transfer. No manual operation needed; the platform directly deducts the funds.

Real Identity Revelation: This is not "fees," but the price balancing mechanism itself. Understand it, and you’ll profit from it.

🎯 Three Golden Rules for Countdown Monitoring

**First Stage: 2 Hours Before Countdown (Reconnaissance Period)**
Pull the previous two rate data comparisons. The pattern is simple:
- Three consecutive same directions → The trend is really here
- Alternating positive and negative → Typical oscillation pattern

What to do now? Open fewer new positions. Focus on managing existing positions.

**Second Stage: 1 Hour Before Countdown (Battle Period)**
This is the most intense period. Short-term speculators rush in and out, price volatility surges, "false breakouts" fill the air, and rate values fluctuate wildly.

Most deadly mistakes:
- Chasing highs and selling lows (worst outcome)
- Blindly reversing positions (thinking the rate will turn)

Golden rule: Not opening orders now means winning half the battle. Truly.

**Third Stage: 30 Minutes Before and After End (Harvest Period)**
After the rate settles, short-term trends often continue. A large number of stop-loss and take-profit orders trigger simultaneously, liquidity suddenly spikes.

When you see these signals, consider acting:
- Rate > 0.03% and settled → Short-term shorting is worth considering
- Rate < -0.03% and settled → Short-term longing can be tried

Prerequisite: Technical analysis must agree.
