A batch of heavyweight data will be released tonight, and the crypto markets are likely to shake.
Here's the schedule: at 16:30 Swiss interest rate decision, at 21:30 US unemployment claims and trade balance, at 23:00 wholesale sales month-over-month, plus China's M2 money supply data. These are not just for show; each one can influence market sentiment.
If US unemployment claims spike, it indicates a cooling labor market. Traditional funds may move toward safe-haven assets, while assets like Bitcoin could benefit from spillover effects. Trade balance data directly impacts the strength of the dollar—when the dollar weakens, crypto asset prices tend to rise. Keep an eye on China's M2 as well; changes in money supply can affect global liquidity expectations and indirectly sway investor sentiment.
Personal opinion? This batch of data might create some opportunities in the crypto space. Especially if the US signals economic pressure, capital will seek alternative allocations. But don’t get too excited too early—the market sentiment can shift from euphoric to cautious in a flash.
How to operate in practice? Focus on the 21:30 timeframe. If unemployment claims surge unexpectedly, consider light positions to test; if the dollar unexpectedly strengthens, quickly tighten your positions and avoid stubbornly holding on. Remember two key points: first, don’t follow the herd blindly—market dynamics rule; second, set your stop-loss levels in advance, or a sudden counter-move can make you doubt everything.
Ultimately, tonight is just an observation window. The data behind it hides the secrets of capital flows—understand it and follow the trend; if not, stay on the sidelines. The market isn’t short of opportunities; what’s missing is patience to wait for the right moment.

In plain terms, this mechanism design is an asymmetric information game. Whoever controls the data rhythm holds the pricing power, and retail investors are always a step behind.

See you at 21:30. Not following the trend is the biggest winner.

At 21:30, I was watching and my finger was on the sell button.

You must keep a close eye on the 21:30 point, or you'll regret it again.

The real highlight is at 21:30, everything else is just a buildup.
It's the same story, good data makes it rise, bad data also makes it rise; anyway, in the crypto circle, we buy on dips.
Unemployment benefits soaring? I think 80% of the time it's just a false alarm; the funds have long been sharpening their knives.
Don't make it so complicated. To put it simply, it's just betting on the dollar's weakness.
M2 data is the real hidden killer, no one pays attention but it stirs the most chaos.
Waiting for 21:30, either to eat meat or to get cut, that's all.
Again teaching people to cut losses, everything they say is right but no one listens haha.
If this wave truly turns weaker for the dollar, then it's time to see who has the real chips.
Feels like the author is hinting that now might be a good time to try a light position? I've already cocked my gun.
The night before the data release is always the most torturous, hoping for some surprises.
