Tonight's data has been released—US unemployment rate has risen to 4.6%, exceeding market expectations of 4.5%, reaching a new high since September 2021.

Why should we pay attention to this non-farm payroll data? Originally, the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut path until 2026 had many uncertainties. Coupled with the bubble risk in AI concept stocks, market sentiment remains cautious, and US stocks are continuing to decline. However, this data actually reinforces the inevitability of rate cuts—weakness in the labor market means the Federal Reserve will find it difficult to maintain high interest rates.

The logic based on the data is quite clear: further rate cuts and liquidity release through quantitative easing have become the main ways to ease current economic pressures. Market expectations for rate cuts in 2026 have also increased accordingly, with many institutions adjusting their forecasts.

This is not a bad thing for risk assets. In a low-interest-rate environment, liquidity will seek an outlet, and as part of risk assets, cryptocurrencies are bound to have opportunities for re-pricing. Opportunities don't come often, and when chips are this low, they are even more scarce.

Once the expectation of interest rate cuts emerges, the crypto world is about to take off again Hmm... liquidity is looking for an exit, and we are the exit, no problem Rising unemployment rate is actually a positive? That logic is really impressive When the chips are low, it's indeed time to get in, the key is whether you can hold on The Federal Reserve's move, and the market hasn't reacted yet

The expectation of interest rate cuts is here, but we'll have to see how big institutions manipulate the market again. We're still in the position of being harvested. Once again, unemployment rate exceeds expectations, and quantitative easing is implemented. It sounds quite positive... but the coins in our hands remain the same, it's hilarious. Will the Federal Reserve really loosen monetary policy, or will they just deceive us into entering the market and then dump? We've learned too many lessons. Looking for an exit for liquidity? Buddy, we are the exit, just waiting to be drained.

The unemployment rate has broken 4.6, but the tactics are still the same... The expectation of interest rate cuts is at its peak, and the crypto circle is starting to stir again.

Unemployment rate breaks 4.6%, rate cut is a sure thing, now it's our turn in the crypto circle, right? --- It's the same old trick, every time the economy has problems, they loosen monetary policy, we eat the meat, they drink the soup. --- Cheap chips are cheap, but I'm worried it's just the prelude to another round of cutting the leeks. --- Low interest rates + liquidity release, this combo is like a Viagra for crypto. --- Really? Non-farm payroll data can directly influence coin prices? Might as well go gambling. --- Let's wait and see. The Federal Reserve hasn't really started cutting rates yet, don't be fooled by these data. --- Unemployment rate at 4.6%, another moment of hope for us, this trick has been played several times. --- Nice words, but the key is how the Federal Reserve acts. Talking is easy, doing is hard. --- Liquidity release = coin price rise. I bet this wave can push it up.

Unemployment rate breaks expectations, and the Fed is basically certain to cut interest rates. Now the crypto market has some liquidity. --- Wait, is this the same old quantitative easing? Is it a replay of history or... --- When chips are low, it's indeed time to buy the dip, but the premise is that you have to survive until that day, right? --- When non-farm payroll data is released and it’s bullish for crypto, I know this logic well—it's been like this in previous waves, and then... --- Expectations of rate cuts are at their peak, and capital needs an exit. We are that exit. --- Talking about liquidity re-pricing again, but the question is, where will it be priced? Is there a plan? --- Is a weak US economy actually a good thing? This contrast is a bit extreme. --- Opportunities are scarce? They say that every day, but I don’t believe you. --- Low interest rates → liquidity → crypto market. This transmission chain has never been broken.
