Weakness in U.S. employment figures sent shockwaves through the markets—two of the three major stock indexes tumbled. The tepid jobs data exposed just how fragile the labor market really is right now, leaving investors scrambling to reassess their positions in risk assets.

Here we go again, poor employment data, do risk assets have to bleed? Same old story. Is that all? I've seen through it long ago; the labor market is inherently fragile. To put it simply, it's still a panic move; smart people have already run away.

When employment data jitters, do risk assets have to shake three times? We've experienced this back in 2015, and now it has actually become an arbitrage opportunity. Traditional finance is in chaos, on-chain yields are soaring by the minute. I've already added leverage to my portfolio, shorting stock indices while simultaneously going long on yield derivatives. Do you understand the survival rules of a bear market?

As soon as the employment data is released, the market becomes unstable immediately. Risk assets need to run away... It feels like the Federal Reserve's pressure is mounting again.

Here we go again. Every time the employment data is weak, there's a big plunge. I've memorized this routine. Is the labor market fragile? I think investors' sentiment is even more fragile, haha. Are risk assets about to run away? I'm actually looking for opportunities.

When employment data is poor, the market starts to shake, and the reaction is really quick... Investors are probably recalculating their accounts in cold sweat now.

When the employment data is released, the market crashes. Is this really the pace of rate hikes? --- Damn it, once again employment data causes trouble. It's probably time to quickly bottom fish, right? --- The phrase "vulnerability of the labor market" sounds scarier than directly saying "a recession is coming"... --- Two indices are falling? I actually see this as a good entry point. Who's afraid? --- Weak employment data leads to a direct sell-off. Is market sentiment this fragile... --- So should we now be fully out of the market and wait? Or buy the dip? --- This decline feels like a shakeout. Why panic, everyone? --- Whenever there's a hint of movement in US employment, the whole world follows and gets sacrificed. This is so damn frustrating.
