When your lending position is just three steps away from the liquidation line, honestly, don't try to tough it out or pray. I usually lower the leverage to a level I can sleep peacefully with: either add some margin or pay off part of the debt first (preferably the more volatile side), both are the safest options. Then immediately set the alerts, monitor the price and health factor together, or else you might think you're just a little away, but a big order on the chain could break through instantly. Yesterday, I also saw a transaction where 0x7a…c3 added over 2,000 ETH to a certain lending pool, and the comment section started interpreting the fluctuations in exchange hot and cold wallets as "smart money" moves... I don't believe in astrology, only in knowing how close I am to the liquidation line. When you're really near the red line, it's better to manually take a small loss and exit than let the liquidation bot make the decision for you.
