At 21:30 Beijing time on January 9th, the December Non-Farm Payrolls data will be announced. The market generally expects the new jobs to be between 55,000 and 60,000, with the unemployment rate expected to fall back to 4.5%.

The importance of this data cannot be underestimated—it directly influences the Federal Reserve's next interest rate move. Think about it, if the employment data falls short of expectations, market expectations for rate cuts will intensify, giving risk assets like Bitcoin a chance to breathe; conversely, if the data exceeds expectations, the timetable for rate cuts may be pushed back, and the pressure index in the crypto circle will rise sharply.

Historical experience tells us that after such heavyweight data is released, market volatility is often very fierce. For investors using leverage, this time window requires full alertness, as the risk of liquidation can be particularly easily triggered at this moment.

At around 9:30 PM, I was directly watching the screen and didn't dare to move my hands, for fear that the data would come out and blow me up immediately. Brothers using leverage really need to be careful this time. One slip and you'll lose everything. Non-farm payrolls are just gambling; it all depends on who has the stronger psychological resilience. Can't lower interest rates; cryptocurrencies have to be pressed to the ground and rubbed, it's uncomfortable. I dare to bet that after 9:30, someone will definitely get liquidated. It happens every time. Expecting 60,000 people, it feels like another crash is coming. This data is like a button; press it and the market goes crazy. It's pointless.

Tonight at 21:30, this batch of data will depend on the Federal Reserve's reaction; a rate cut is still a long way off.

9:30 PM, another heart-pounding moment. Non-farm data, really, it's like whether you can win at mahjong—everything depends on this move. 55,000 to 60,000? Uh... sounds like a pretty casual expectation. To be honest, leverage traders are indeed prone to being wiped out at this time. I've seen too many people exit directly during such windows. Whether the Fed cuts or not, in just a few minutes, accounts can go from daily limit up to daily limit down. Why not just have the Federal Reserve tell us the result in advance?

Waiting at 21:30 tonight to be taught a lesson by the non-farm payrolls. Leverage traders, pray.

You need to keep a close watch around 9:30 PM that evening. Once the non-farm payroll data comes out, the coin price will either skyrocket or crash—there's no middle ground.
