Today I saw someone again mistake a few "coincidental transfers" as a big account signal... I, for one, don't believe in superstition. Looking at the on-chain path, many times it's simply: the same consolidation address sweeping in scattered funds → bridging/chaining → into exchange hot wallets, sometimes even with a middle step of a market maker relay. Connecting these nodes actually makes sense; there's no need to jump to conspiracy theories right away.

The recent expectation of rate cuts is the same; people are discussing how the US dollar index and risk assets rise and fall together, but on the chain, it's still about where the funds come from, where they go, and whether the same addresses are repeatedly following the "familiar route." My current approach is like backing up my brain: don't just look at a screenshot of a transfer, keep multiple redundant clues (time, counterparty, common routing), or you'll easily be led astray by emotions.
