This week's market may be heavily disrupted by macroeconomic data. Several heavyweight members of the Federal Reserve will make appearances, coupled with the release of key employment data, creating a combined impact on the market that should not be underestimated.

At 01:30 on Monday morning, Minneapolis Fed President Kashkari (FOMC voter in 2026) will speak at the American Economic Association meeting, signaling the start.

On Tuesday evening at 21:00, Richmond Fed President Barkin (FOMC voter in 2027) will also speak, and those paying attention to economic outlooks will certainly be listening closely.

The real test comes from the data bombings during the week and weekend—

The December ADP employment data released at 21:15 on Wednesday is the most anticipated. The previous value was -32,000 jobs; this forecast is expected to jump to 45,000 jobs. If the data improves, how will the market react?

On Thursday at 21:30, initial jobless claims will be released, with the previous figure at 199,000 and a forecast of 216,000. This seemingly dull number can reflect the temperature of the labor market.

Friday is the main event. At the same time, 21:30, the US December unemployment rate and non-farm payrolls will be announced simultaneously—unemployment rate expected to drop from 4.60% to 4.50%, and non-farm employment to rebound sharply from -105,000 to 55,000. If these numbers confirm economic resilience, will the dollar strengthen? How will Bitcoin respond?

At 23:00 on Friday night, Kashkari will also deliver a welcome speech and participate in informal discussions at an online conference, where market-moving snippets are often found.

In the early hours of Saturday at 02:35, Barkin will speak again on economic outlook. This week, the Fed's voice has not stopped.

Market conditions change rapidly; this week's data and speeches will be crucial in determining the future direction. While paying attention to these indicators, don't forget the deep impact of the Fed's stance on global asset allocation.

Another week of data bombardment, my goodness… I might have insomnia this week. Staying up late waiting for non-farm payrolls? Or just going all in and waiting to die? ADP rebound of 45,000 still feels fake; the macro game is too difficult to play. The Federal Reserve keeps talking every day; the more they say, the more anxious I get. I feel like any statement could cause a market crash. Can a 0.1% drop in the unemployment rate really save Bitcoin? It’s a bit uncertain. If the data is good and the dollar strengthens, it will be even harder for us… The Fed is showing off its muscles again; this week’s market trend is definitely in their hands.

Another week of data bombardment, and Friday's non-farm payrolls are the real storm coming. I really can't hold on anymore, watching the Federal Reserve's statements every day, waiting for a lucky break. ADP shifts from negative to positive? Could the market really take off directly... The Fed's speeches are so dense this week, it feels like they're paving the way for future rate cuts or something. If the unemployment rate really improves on Friday, will BTC go up or down? I'm a bit confused. This week, I'm just taking it easy, waiting for the data to speak, no other way around. The dollar is strong, and economic resilience is a good thing, but for the crypto world, it might get overturned again. One statement a day, the Fed seems to be afraid the market will be idle.

Damn, the Federal Reserve's bombshell statements this week, it feels like the crypto market is about to rollercoaster again. This week's non-farm payroll data is the key; the jump from -10.5 to 5.5 is quite dramatic. Friday's unemployment rate data is hard to predict; market reactions are often sudden and unexpected. Another night of staying up late to monitor the market, truly intense. ADP giving an early signal—if it improves, will the market continue to rise? The Fed has spoken too much this week; each statement can trigger market swings. The key is still the non-farm payroll data; once released, we'll know how to proceed.

Friday's non-farm payrolls are the real knife; either it takes off or gets cut directly.

Another week of the Federal Reserve's drama, with data flying everywhere... Going to bed early is more reliable than watching this.

Friday's non-farm payroll data is the real knife, everything else is just foreplay. Been numb for a while, and now I have to stay up all night watching the market again this week. The Federal Reserve's intense statements, afraid that the market isn't anxious enough, right? Feels like as soon as the data is released, the crypto market is going to rollercoaster again... On Wednesday, ADP turned positive from negative, this rebound is a bit too fast, it's honestly a bit sus. Black Friday confirmed it, can't escape. Just want to ask one question, if non-farm payrolls are good and the dollar is strong, what about our assets? This week's market movements all depend on the Fed's mood, we're just a backdrop. Kashkari's speech frequency is a bit high, I usually don't trust people who talk too much. The sadness of workers, non-farm payroll data is more important than wages.
