Sometimes looking at on-chain data is like a thermometer in a greenhouse suddenly malfunctioning: for the same transaction, Station A jumps out first, and Station B only appears half a minute later, making people think the market "got stuck for a moment." In reality, many of these delays are caused by indexers/subgraphs queuing for synchronization, and nodes also limit RPC requests; if you push too hard, they respond slowly... Especially when there's a hot topic, everyone is watching large on-chain transfers, exchange hot and cold wallet movements, frantically refreshing like they're trying to buy tickets.

A couple of days ago, I almost got caught up in this delay and started to speculate that "smart money is moving" when data didn't update. But then I thought it was pretty funny. Honestly, it's normal for data channels to be congested; don't take delays as signals. Now I just look at two more sources, and even if I'm a bit slow, I take it as a cooling-off period for myself.
