#非农就业数据推升加息预期
Pricing power is no longer in the Fed’s hands—the three signals that matter more than “hike or no hike”
Nonfarm payrolls pushed the probability of a December rate hike above 80%, but if you trade based only on “hike or no hike,” you’ll probably get whipsawed repeatedly. Pricing power in the crypto market has partially shifted away from the Fed and toward three other factors.
Signal 1: The charts for Nvidia and Micron. The 0.68 correlation between BTC and the Nasdaq means that AI chip stocks need to stop falling before BTC can stabilize; it’s a prerequisite, not something that happens in tandem. On the day the nonfarm data was released, the Nasdaq actually closed up 1.09%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rebounded sharply, but BTC didn’t follow suit—because the AI leverage chain hasn’t fully unwound. The rebound in chip stocks is a “relief rally after an oversold drop,” not a “rebuilding of the narrative.”
Signal 2: Spot buying support at $75,000. $75,000 was the low BTC hit before the nonfarm data was released, and it’s currently the bulls’ last psychological line of defense. CoinGlass liquidation data shows a dense cluster of long stop-losses below $75,000. If this level breaks during a second test of the lows after the nonfarm release, the next wave of liquidations will be larger than Thursday’s. Conversely, if $75,000 holds through repeated tests and trading volume shrinks, it suggests selling pressure is fading.
Signal 3: The “wording” at the December 10 FOMC meeting, not the “decision.” The market has already priced in an 80% chance of a rate hike, so a 25-basis-point hike itself won’t provide much new information. The real variable is how Warsh describes the “path ahead” at the press conference—if he says “there’s still work to do,” the expected peak in rates will move higher, and risk assets will remain under pressure; if he says “we need to assess things after this hike,” that would be the first official signal that “the rate-hiking cycle is nearing its end.”
Trading guide: Of these three conditions—$75,000 holding, ETF flows turning positive, and chip stocks stabilizing—at least two need to be met to provide a basis for entering on the right side of the trend. Until then, every rebound driven by “falling rate-hike odds” could be short covering rather than a trend reversal. What portion of your portfolio is currently invested?
