Today, while watching on the blockchain, it paused again, and many people's first reaction was to curse the project team. Actually, many times it's the indexer/Subgraph tracking blocks, or RPC being rate-limited: the moment you open it, it hasn't fed the new transactions into the database yet, and the frontend feels like it's lagging. To put it simply, it's not that the chain has stopped, but the data pipeline is a bit clogged. Recently, someone also linked ETF capital flows with U.S. stock market risk appetite to interpret price movements, which I find quite noisy. Anyway, I still prefer to watch the trading volume and liquidity first. When the data isn't stable, I hold back from acting, wait until it catches up before placing orders, to avoid chasing a "false rebound" and ending up buying at a loss. After making a profit, I go for a coffee.
