Tonight, the US economic data will be released in a concentrated manner. Traders need to stay alert.
At 21:30 Beijing time, data on Non-Farm Payrolls, Retail Sales, and Wage Growth will be announced simultaneously. These indicators are the Fed's decision-making compass and directly impact the USD trend. An appreciation of the dollar means risk assets are under pressure—including assets like BTC that are sensitive to the dollar. Currently, BTC is still oscillating around 86,000, waiting for these data to determine the next move.
Then at 22:45, Manufacturing and Services PMI preliminary figures will be released. If the data meet or exceed expectations, risk appetite may increase in the short term, but the dollar will also strengthen, creating a "double-edged sword" situation for the crypto market. However, based on historical patterns, periods of steady PMI often present opportunities for small-cap coins.
At 23:00, the business inventory data, though relatively less influential, can trigger market reactions on such a high-profile night with any slight movement.
The key is mindset—when facing data, emotional swings are often more intense than technical analysis. For friends who are unsure, it's most important not to force trades at this time. Those with ideas might prefer to wait for the data before making decisions. Tonight is like this: either ride the wave or stay cautious and observe.

Another night like this, when non-farm data hits, everyone will have to kneel
Waiting for 21:30 to receive the blow
This wave might cause a liquidation of a bunch of newbies, haha
The PMI area is the real casino, I believe small coins have a chance
Those who promised not to hard hold, none of them will survive
Let's wait and see, anyway I don't have any good holdings in hand

Non-farm payrolls are coming, I choose to sleep, and look at the K-line after waking up.
