There are two important economic data releases to watch for tonight: US November Retail Sales will be released at 21:30, with market expectations of a month-on-month improvement; followed by the 23:30 EIA Crude Oil Inventory Report, which is generally expected to show continued inventory pressure. Once macroeconomic data exceeds or falls short of expectations, it often moves the market—assets with high liquidity like $BTC and $ETH are more likely to be affected. The probability of increased short-term volatility remains quite high, so traders should be cautious with position sizing or wait for the dust to settle before entering the market.

BTC-4.36%

ETH-5.47%

Data release is like Schrödinger's bull market again, and now it's time to watch the K-line dance. This time, it's a bet on retail improvement or continued pessimism, market voting is in progress... From the perspective of supply and demand curves, the expectation of crude oil inventories has long been rotten in the market, where else can it be smashed? As for BTC, this liquidity monster, it’s just being toyed with by macro data. Not sleeping tonight, might as well watch this "Data Art Exhibition" and see who gets slapped in the face by overperformance, and who surprisingly survives. Rather than obsess over the direction, it's better to wait for the dust to settle before jumping in. Anyway, chasing highs now is just buying into the art bubble, and this value consensus still needs more time. Controlling positions is easier said than done, but if tonight turns out to be another black swan night, then... it can only be blamed on not listening to the old saying.

According to the database, another recommendation to "cautiously control positions" has been recorded. It has been several days since the last similar reminder. The project team's pie chart continues to ferment... Let's wait patiently for the bloom, everyone.

Are both data coming tonight? Then just wait to get smashed. Brothers who dare to add positions at this time are really brave. Playing around the night before the data release is really exciting, but I still choose to lie flat and watch the show. Retail and oil inventories coming together, BTC might be about to plunge. Let's wait for the calm to return before acting. This pace is exhausting, better to reduce positions first and hide, then aim again after the data lands. Adding positions? Now? Only a fool would add at this point... Feels like a revolt is coming. Are you all ready to cut losses?

Once the data is out, the market gets chaotic. Maybe wait a bit before acting, no need to rush.
