#密码资产动态追踪 Non-farm payroll data is coming. Don't just look at the increase in employment—this is actually a sentiment test.
Tonight at 9:30 PM Beijing time, three key data points will trigger market movements: new employment numbers, unemployment rate, and year-over-year wage growth. These directly influence the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rate cuts.
The logic is simple. Once the economy weakens, the Fed has ample reason to cut rates; if the economy remains steady, rate cuts will be delayed. The current market consensus is: the unemployment rate in November will be around 4.6%, new employment about 55,000, and the December unemployment rate may be between 4.6% and 4.7%.
So what counts as good news? If the unemployment rate breaks above 4.7%, or if new employment is far below expectations—once economic pressure becomes evident, the Fed might accelerate rate cuts, supporting risk assets (including cryptocurrencies). Conversely, if new employment exceeds expectations, the unemployment rate stays low or even drops, showing economic resilience, the Fed has no reason to rush rate cuts, and January could see no change. Market expectations could be shattered, and stocks and crypto could be hammered.
Here's a trap: don’t rush into trading just because the data is out. Savvy traders will pay attention to whether the data exceeds expectations, whether the market’s initial reaction is a correction or a routine move, and how future rate expectations are adjusted. Those who suffer big losses on non-farm payroll night are often those who act recklessly without clear thinking.
As for where to specifically intervene after the data is released and when to wait and see, I won’t go into those details today. $BTC

A 4.7% unemployment rate is the real signal; the number of new jobs added can be too easily misleading.

Decide by 9:30. Either the rate cut expectation will explode or be smashed to question life. Anyway, tonight it's either celebration or cutting losses.

An unemployment rate breaking 4.7% is the real game-changer; otherwise, interest rate cuts are far off, and the crypto world will have to keep enduring.

Watching the show at 9:30, someone will definitely get trapped anyway. A unemployment rate above 4.7% is the real bullish signal; otherwise, just wait to be manipulated by the Federal Reserve.

It's almost 9:30 again, and we'll find out soon. If the unemployment rate breaks 4.7 this time, I'll go all in.
