#Solana行情走势解读 Non-farm Friday pitfalls I've stepped into

Honestly, when the non-farm data is released, I've seen too many people get washed out due to improper operations. Tonight at 21:30, the US will announce December's unemployment rate and non-farm employment data, and gold will definitely experience significant volatility. I’ve summarized three painful lessons, hoping everyone can avoid these traps.

**First Pitfall: Rush to Enter Before Data Is Out**

Many people see slight fluctuations in the market and think the trend is about to emerge, so they jump in early. As a result, when the data is released and the market turns, they get slapped in the face. Instead of doing that, it’s better to stay on the sidelines. During this period before the data is released, sideways movement is normal; the market is just testing. Placing orders in advance is gambling on random fluctuations, which is pointless. Stay calm and wait for the data.

**Second Pitfall: Follow the Trend Immediately After Data Is Released**

At the moment of announcement, gold might jump ten or twenty points in one go, which is the most dangerous time. I used to do this too, and ended up getting chopped up like a leek. Now, my approach is to leave myself a 1-2 minute buffer to see whether it’s a real breakout or a fake move, whether the market has truly stabilized, before considering action. Impulsive moments are often the moments when you get trapped.

**Third Pitfall: Focus Only on Non-farm Payrolls and Unemployment Rate**

Many traders only look at these two figures, but actually, the average hourly wage growth is also a powerful indicator. This metric reveals how sticky inflation is and sometimes influences the Federal Reserve’s policy outlook even more than non-farm employment numbers. To catch the true direction of the market, you need to look at all three data points together and think about them collectively, not selectively or blindly trust one.

In short, non-farm day is a test of discipline and patience. If you’re unsure, just watch. That’s not a mistake; it’s the secret to surviving longer.

During non-farm payrolls, I used to get itchy hands often. Now I've learned to hold back, and I really live much longer.

Bro, I also took a big loss on Non-Farm Payroll day. Now I've learned my lesson and won't move anymore. Fell into the second trap, jumped twenty points at once and got completely trapped, still feeling the pain from cutting losses. The average hourly wage part is indeed easy to overlook. Next time, I need to be more careful.

Non-farm data is indeed a tricky point that can easily go wrong. I used to rush to take sides based on the data and ended up being hammered in the opposite direction.

Exactly right, non-farm payroll days are the days to harvest the leeks. I've been caught several times before, now I just watch the data and decide.

Here's the guide to avoid pitfalls again. What you said is correct, but people still end up losing money. The non-farm payrolls at this critical moment really test human nature. Honestly, I didn't realize the significance of the average hourly wage before. Looking back now, I understand the reason behind the losses. Doing nothing is really the hardest choice, but often the most profitable. This valuable content, but most people will still rush in, after all, seeing a jump of ten or twenty points makes their eyes turn red.

It's that same old story on non-farm days, I've heard it too many times. To put it simply, just two words—hold on. A few times before, I couldn't wait either, and ended up getting liquidated pretty badly. Now I'm just sitting back and watching the show.

It's the same old story, I'm already tired of it. The ones who are truly making money have long since shut up, and they're still here teaching... what do you think?

Haha, I was the one who got cut, I got caught three times The biggest pitfall of non-farm payrolls is being reckless, wanting to buy the dip and sell at the top whenever I see volatility Wait, the title says Solana but the content is all about gold? That's a bit confusing Discipline is easy to talk about, but when it really comes down to it, everyone turns into a gambler I didn't pay attention to the average hourly wage before, but I learned my lesson On non-farm payroll day, I was trembling with my fingers, and in the end, I couldn't resist chasing the order, cutting losses until I doubted my life That's right, what I lack is this two-minute rationality, every time I get beaten like a dog This set of theories is good, but the problem is that the brain often doesn't obey when executing

Got caught again, huh? This time, I honestly watched the market during the non-farm payrolls without making any moves. The average hourly wage is indeed easy to overlook; I need to pay close attention.

Oh no, I'm about to get cut again. Non-farm payrolls are always my Waterloo. --- Exactly right, I am the fool who goes all-in before the data is released. Now my account has shrunk significantly. --- Wait, I've never paid attention to the average hourly wage... No wonder I always guess in the wrong direction. --- That 1-2 minute buffer suggestion is brilliant. I'll try not to chase trades next time, but I still feel like I can't help myself. --- Really, the three traps on non-farm day seem simple, but only after stepping in do you realize how painful they are. --- I just want to ask, has anyone made money on non-farm days? It feels like everyone is just here to give away money. --- That last sentence hit me hard. If you're not confident, just watch... Easy to say, but I get itchy hands as soon as I see the opportunity. --- I analyze on-chain data very well, but when it comes to fundamentals, it's especially easy to stumble.
