Major events are piling up in the US this week. Normally, it would be a holiday season, but instead, a flood of economic data and officials' speeches have been released.



Let's start with the key data. Non-farm payrolls were released on Tuesday, which relates to the rate cut direction in January next year. By Thursday, the CPI data will be the real anchor—showing the Federal Reserve's stance on rate cuts, which is likely to be the main factor. Also on Thursday, the initial unemployment claims will be announced. New York Fed President Williams will also give two speeches this week.

Honestly, with these data points stacked together, it’s hard to say whether the market sentiment can stay stable. Currently, the market hasn't shown any obvious movements, and trading volume remains sluggish. Forcing trades at this time could carry more risk than opportunity. It’s better to wait and see the data—at least to understand what the Federal Reserve truly intends and whether the crypto market can react accordingly.

Thursday's CPI is the real watershed; a fierce market battle is probably unavoidable then.

Thursday's CPI is the real deal. Right now, lying flat is the most comfortable, waiting to be hit with a wave.

So many trivial matters, Thursday's CPI is the real cut, isn't it?

Stop messing around, let's wait for the data. --- CPI is the real boss, everything else is pointless. --- The Federal Reserve this week probably plans to stir things up. --- Trading volume is dead, so am I. --- Before rate cuts are implemented, I choose to lie flat. --- Williams spoke twice? The market must be going crazy. --- Non-farm payrolls are just the appetizer for CPI; it’s outrageous to jump in now. --- Instead of guessing, it's better to wait for the results and save yourself the trouble. --- No one knows what the Federal Reserve wants to do, so I’ll just watch and see. --- This week's data bombardment, better to play it safe.

Still daring to make moves during the data bombardment, truly a brave warrior... I'll just sit on the side and watch the show, and wait for the CPI to speak.

Thursday's CPI is the real test, right now this wave is just a probing move --- Non-farm → CPI → Unemployment Benefits, a triple strike directly hitting the market's face. Those still daring to move now are probably just gamblers --- Williams spoke twice. Is he hinting at something? Looks like he's starting to lose composure? --- The numbness of trading volume is well said. It's really hard to enter the market now and not be at a disadvantage --- Let's wait for the data. Anyway, we can't change what the Federal Reserve thinks --- This round is all about enduring time. Let's see who can keep their composure. Crypto won't run away

Thursday's CPI is the real deal, everything else is noise. Hold tight, don't be misled by false information. The data hasn't been released yet, any trading now is purely gambling. What can Williams' speech do? The Fed's tactics are always the same. With such numb trading volume, retail investors have already exited. Just wait and see; there's no rush anyway. Averaging down is the safest. This week will most likely still see a downward trend. Prepare to buy the dip, everyone. If you ask me, the probability of interest rate cuts isn't that optimistic. Don't get too excited.

honestly the CPI data Thursday is where it gets spicy... if you're analyzing the mempool pressure during these macro drops, the base layer congestion patterns are demonstrably revealing about true market conviction. most people just panic-trade without even checking transaction throughput differentials lol

Thursday's CPI is really the true stabilizer. I'm a bit confused by this wave of data bombardment; I might as well lie flat and wait. It feels like no one dares to move these days, all holding their breath to see what the Federal Reserve is up to. Waiting for non-farm payrolls and CPI again, just before the holiday, doing all this—it's truly exhausting. Before the data is released, hard operations really are just giving away money. Just watch, there's no escaping it anyway. Where is the promised rest time? It’s been spoiled by the bombardment of economic data. Williams spoke twice? Is the Federal Reserve trying to drag people to death? The trading volume is so numb; it seems like the big players are also hiding things. Just wait and see how the data reacts; guessing in advance will only get you slapped in the face.
