$ONE $QNTB $ACT Nonfarm payrolls came in way above expectations! Is the Fed about to flip the script? This move left me stunned…😱
When I saw the data last night, I sat frozen in front of my screen for ages!
165,000 vs. the expected 65,000—more than double—and the unemployment rate even fell to 4.1%. These numbers are ridiculously strong. Everyone had been counting on monetary easing in December, but now expectations of rate cuts have instantly given way to fears of “rate hikes or higher rates for longer.” Borrowing costs could get expensive again.
With the Fed’s hawkish winds picking up, risk assets are first in the firing line. Gold has already started sliding. BTC and ETH have held up for now, but don’t get too carried away—the market’s pool of available funds is limited, and with macro headwinds looming, institutions simply don’t dare pile in. As for altcoins, when liquidity gets pulled, they can be wiped out in a flash—there may not even be time to get out.
I cut back my altcoin leverage and withdrew some of my principal as soon as I could last night. At a critical turning point in the macro outlook, protecting your principal and staying in the game matter more than anything!
But markets always have a way of defying expectations. If CPI comes in lower in a few days, or the rate-setting meeting turns into a “sell the rumor, buy the news” event, things could reverse in an instant. So I haven’t blindly sold at a loss or closed everything out; I’ve just kept my risk within manageable limits.
How heavily invested is everyone right now? Are you waiting on the sidelines or getting ready to buy the dip? Let’s discuss in the comments!👇#非农就业数据推升加息预期
