NFP Changed the Narrative. Not My Thesis.
Took a month off Binance Square.
The market moved.
My thesis didn’t.
August payrolls came in at +162K. Unemployment held at 4.1%. Wage growth stayed contained at 3.1% YoY.
Yes, the print is hawkish for the Fed.
No, I don’t see a broken economy.
I see a labor market that’s still holding up while wage pressure remains manageable. That matters.
The bull case never required every macro number to come in dovish.
It requires the economy to stay strong enough to avoid recession while inflation eventually gives the Fed room to ease.
Right now:
Growth is resilient.
Labor is resilient.
Liquidity is still the bigger question.
Still in the same place. Bullish.
The question is no longer if the cycle can continue.
It’s how much macro pressure the market can absorb before the next expansion.
What’s your read?
Bullish cycle or late-cycle trap?
