Recently, everyone has been using "on-chain data" as a judge, but honestly, I feel a bit timid... To be clear, the transaction or deal you see is often relayed by nodes, RPCs, or indexers, and speed isn't always guaranteed. It's like a food delivery app: the rider is already downstairs, but your app is still spinning, and the merchant side shows "food dispatched." Who's accurate? Neither is lying; it's just that synchronization has delays, and caches have priorities.
Lately, I've been looking at ETF capital flows and U.S. stock market risk appetite to explain crypto price movements, but I also remind myself: don't treat delayed data as real-time sentiment, especially when the market gets excited, which makes misjudgments more likely. Anyway, my approach is pretty simple: at critical moments, switch between several RPCs to compare, and if you can see the original transaction, don't just rely on the aggregated panel... For now, this is enough; a slower response is better than signing the wrong transaction.
