The number of borrowed DAI should not exceed the alarm threshold, because if the price of ETH drops sharply, your CDP will be easily liquidated and sold to other users in the system, you will lose this ETH. On the contrary, if the value of ETH increases, you will naturally still own this amount of ETH and also have the potential to profit from investing the DAI you have borrowed to follow other coins.
