Data availability, ordering, finality—these three terms sound pretty intimidating, but basically they boil down to one main question: when does the "on-chain truth" you see actually count?
Data availability = can others access the complete data to verify themselves;
Ordering = who determines the sequence of these transactions;
Finality = will it be overturned or rewritten after a while.
So don’t just blindly trust the label or conclusion of a tool, especially now when many on-chain data tools/tag systems are criticized for lagging behind or even misleading… I usually first ask: can this data be recalculated by a third party? Is the source a single price feed or a single index? Before finality is stable, emotions are most likely to run high.
Anyway, I don’t predict prices; I only watch when everyone starts losing patience.
