This week, the US unemployment rate and non-farm payroll data have become the market's focus. Coupled with Japan's interest rate hike trend, short-term sentiment will be stirred. But honestly, BTC has withstood several previous rate hikes, and this time should be no different.
From an on-chain perspective, short-term players holding for less than a month are selling off, but big players remain steady, continuing to accumulate BTC and ETH strategically. The key point is—tonight's non-farm payroll data itself is not the main focus; what the market wants to do with it is.
It's been lacking a reason for a while now, and non-farm payroll is like a match that ignites the fire. Weak data could extend the expectation of rate cuts, potentially saving the market. Strong data, on the other hand, might crush those long positions with high leverage. So this time, whether it's bullish or bearish isn't the most critical; what the market is really looking at is whether to unload or loosen the grip—this is what truly matters tonight.

Once again, big players are eating while small retail investors are getting cut, this show is all too familiar.
Non-farm payroll data is just a cover; the real script was written long ago.
Speaking of which, short-term players are now selling off. Will they regret it later...
Big players are eating, and we are watching. The show’s effect is indeed well-controlled.
The strength or weakness of the data doesn't matter; the market will play however it wants, and we are just the ones being played.
This round of non-farm payrolls is probably still about harvesting stop-loss orders, with a very precise sense of rhythm.
While big players are eating and saying "Good job," small retail investors can't sleep, counting K-lines.

Big players are eating up the chips, retail investors are fleeing, this trick is as old as it gets.

Big players are accumulating, retail investors are cutting losses, this script is so cliché.
