I can’t stand it—people in the group keep posting unlocking calendars every day to estimate sell pressure, like a crowd staring at a stopwatch waiting for a bomb to go off. Have you ever thought that what you’re calling “on-chain” might also be delayed? After the node, RPC, and index—three layers of filtering—by the time you open a block explorer, what you’re looking at could already be a snapshot from seconds ago, or even minutes earlier. For large operations like staked token unlocks, when the actual liquidation or dumping happens, the on-chain alert may not have popped up yet, and the price has already moved.
Anyway, I’ve developed a habit lately: the more everyone fixates on the calendar and gets anxious, the less I feel like rushing to check that string of data. It’s like fluid dynamics—you only ever see the wave crests that get pushed to you. The real undercurrents are already turning under your very eyes. Don’t chase the trend all the way to the last second. For now, that’s it.
