On the evening of January 9th at 21:30, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the first non-farm employment data for 2026. The expected increase in employment is 60,000 jobs, down from the previous figure of 64,000. Additionally, the U.S. December unemployment rate is expected to be 4.50%, slightly lower than the previous month's 4.60%.

Non-farm employment data reflects changes in employment in the non-farm sector and is an important indicator of the health of the U.S. economy. The release of this data often has a significant impact on the cryptocurrency market, and traders should closely monitor whether the actual figures meet expectations and the potential market volatility that may result.

60,000 new users, feeling increasingly weak. If this data really crashes the crypto market, what should we do? --- Non-farm payrolls are coming, my contracts are about to get hit again... --- The unemployment rate is falling, which sounds good, but new jobs are still declining. What kind of signal is this? --- At 21:30 sharp, it's about to explode again. Time to witness a miracle. Who bets on actual results exceeding expectations? --- 60,000 vs 64,000, roughly a difference of 4,000... Can this move the crypto price? --- As soon as the Federal Reserve data is released, my leverage starts crying. Laughing to death. --- Economic data is weak, but unemployment rate is falling. This logic is a bit hard to believe, everyone. --- Honestly, I don't really feel anything about these macro data now. The crypto price movement depends entirely on sentiment. --- I'm exhausted. Another night of potential "volatility." Who can save my short positions?

Wow, non-farm payroll data is coming again. Will it crash the market this time? 60,000 new jobs? That number looks a bit fake, feels like a dive. Unemployment rate drops to 4.5, sounds good but I’m a bit skeptical. Must keep an eye on the screen tonight at 21:30, or else I’ll get caught again. If it doesn’t meet expectations this time, the crypto market might follow and get sacrificed. Damn, staying up late to watch the market, is it worth it? Historical data will be brought up again for comparison, so annoying. Let’s wait and see, once the data is out, it will be another round of chopping the leeks show.

60,000 new jobs? That number seems a bit inflated, feels like the US economy is just barely hanging on... --- It's another non-farm payroll report, are you all ready to get wiped out? --- The unemployment rate dropping sounds good, but the number of new jobs keeps plunging. What's going on with that logic? --- At 21:30, I definitely won't be holding any positions; I can't play with such key data. --- Forget it, rather than guessing the data, it's better to guess the Federal Reserve's intentions. Anyway, it's going to fall. --- Non-farm payrolls—expectations and reality are always two different things. As a gambler, I'm already prepared to get cut. --- Really? 60,000 is considered "good." The US job market is indeed weak. --- Alright, here comes the black swan, but I bet against it... but even that might be wrong. I'll just lie flat this time. --- What does a decline in new jobs mean? Is the rate cut expectation gone?

Non-farm payroll data is causing disruptions again, the figure of 60,000 feels a bit shaky. The unemployment rate dropping sounds good, but job growth is still slowing down... Let's see the real results tonight at 21:30, Bitcoin is about to dance again. 60,000? That number is a bit heartbreaking. Market volatility is coming, I'm a bit panicked about my position. Unemployment rate has fallen but growth is slowing, is this good news or bad news? As soon as the non-farm payroll data is released, the crypto circle starts to stir... Contract traders should be panicking. 60,000 vs 64,000, not much difference, but why does it always feel like the trend has shifted? It will definitely explode tomorrow night, get prepared in advance. Employment data really impacts the market more than gold prices, can't handle it.

Bro, the non-farm payroll data is here to stir things up again. This time, let's see if the Federal Reserve will continue to pretend they didn't see it. --- 60,000 new jobs... Feels like the economy is starting to struggle. Is the crypto world about to start trembling? --- Every time non-farm payrolls come out, there's so much fuss. I wonder if this time will be another big wave. My stop-loss orders are already in place. --- The unemployment rate dropping sounds good, but only 60,000 new jobs... Think about it carefully, it's alarming. --- Wait for the 21:30 data; the market might explode then. Only the brave dare to hold positions at this time. --- It's US economic data again, affecting crypto prices every time. It always makes me nervous. --- Non-farm payroll expectations vs. actual results—this is always a mystery of fate. Bet on it? Or just watch the show honestly? --- 60,000 people sounds like a lot, but compared to previous data, it's shrunk... Feels like the US economy is "optimizing."

Just waiting to see if the market will explode or crash. Once this data is out, it will probably plunge again. Non-farm payroll data is really devilish; every time, it's a gamble on how it will move. 60,000 new jobs... feels a bit虚假, might be a cold surprise. Unemployment rate dropping sounds good, but for the crypto market... who knows. The key is whether the actual data will contradict expectations. When that happens, the damn volatility will return. As soon as these macro data are released, they immediately cause a rush. Used to it. Waiting until 21:30 tonight, the market should move. As always, if the data is strong, buy the dip; if weak, run away. Staying glued to the screen until tonight again, really exhausting.
