Unemployment claims data for the US is set to be released tonight at 20:30



⏰ Release time: 20:30, only 4 hours left
📊 Previous value: 208K, forecast: 212K
⭐ Four-star core employment data that directly sways expectations for a Fed rate cut

Qi Le’s outlook

If the data is higher than 21.2: employment weakens, and growth stocks, gold, crude oil, etc. are likely to weaken

If the data is lower than 20.8: employment is stronger than expected, which weighs on rate-cut expectations; tech and risk assets will face pressure

In line with expectations: the market is likely to trade in a tight range

Key warnings

Geopolitics in the Middle East is lifting inflation, and sentiment in the tech sector is relatively weak—data is especially likely to amplify volatility.
During the data window, volatility surges—keep positions lightly sized for short-term trading, use strict stop-losses, and avoid heavy position speculation. #特朗普警告9月政府停摆 $BTC $ETH

Data quality directly affects rate-cut expectations, and there will be no shortage of volatility tonight.

Market action is entirely driven by the mood from unemployment benefits data. Four-star data is worth watching for trades, but with weak US stock sentiment and turmoil in the Middle East, keeping a light position for short-term trades is the safest approach.

If the data is close to expectations, the odds of a tight, range-bound trading session are high, but there’s still a risk of a government shutdown next week—tonight may just be an appetizer.

Prior value: 20.8, expected: 21.2; above expectations is bullish for gold, but tech is under pressure. Below expectations hits cuts to interest rates—think it through yourself. Remember to set a stop-loss; don’t be greedy.

If it falls below 20.8, tech stocks will likely take a heavy hit, but geopolitical risk is also present; with buyers and sellers pulling back and forth, it’s recommended to stay on the sidelines.
