Tomorrow, Friday, September 4th, the main event for the crypto market will be the United States employment report — Payroll (NFP), released at 9:30 AM Brasília time. The market expects a moderate jobs creation, with unemployment near 4.1%.
How it can affect Bitcoin and altcoins:
* 🟢 Weak data, but not too bad: increases expectations for lower or stable interest rates → tends to favor BTC and altcoins.
* 🔴 Very strong data: reduces the chance of rate cuts → can strengthen the dollar and put pressure on crypto.
* ⚠️ Extremely weak data: may trigger recession fears and cause an initial drop, even if it’s positive for rates.
The most important part will be to compare the released result × forecast, and also to watch revisions from the previous months and wage growth. The market is looking for an “balanced” outcome: employment without excessive strength and without signs of recession.
My take for trading: avoid opening futures a few minutes before the Payroll. Wait for the first move, because there may be a false breakout and then a drop — or the other way around. For HYPE, BTC, and altcoins, the volatility risk will be high.
