#10月非农数据聚焦 #WCTCS9 The market has already priced in a December rate hike as highly likely, so weaker-than-expected data could also be interpreted as a sign of a weakening economy. For now, reduce leverage and trim positions, then wait for the data before deciding on direction.

Trading strategy
Positions: Lower leverage and keep sufficient margin to avoid holding large positions around the data release.
Orders: When placing orders on both sides, guard against slippage; execution prices may differ from quoted prices.
Stop-loss: Set stops wider to avoid sharp volatility in the first few minutes after the market opens.
Holding overnight: Avoid carrying large positions if possible; officials may speak or unexpected news may emerge over the weekend.

How the three outcomes could play out
Stronger than expected (more than 100,000 new jobs): A December rate hike would be all but certain; US AI stocks and Bitcoin would likely weaken, while gold could also retest around $4,080.
In line with expectations (50,000–70,000): The probability of a rate hike would change little; all three asset classes would likely trade sideways, and volatility would ease.
Significantly weaker (below 30,000 or unemployment rises): Rate hike expectations would cool, and gold and tech stocks could rebound; but if recession fears prevail, cyclical stocks and Bitcoin would still fall.

These signals also matter
Revisions: If the data for the previous two months are revised down, even a strong figure for the current month would indicate that employment is weakening.
Whether the three figures align: Combinations such as strong job gains, weak hourly earnings, and rising unemployment would prompt the market to reassess direction, with greater volatility.
BTC options expiry: About $2.7 billion in BTC options expire before the nonfarm payrolls report, which itself will amplify volatility.
What deserves more attention
US AI stocks are the most important to watch. Bitcoin follows the Nasdaq, while gold mainly depends on US Treasury yields, and rate hike expectations drive all of them. BTC is more likely to stabilize once the Nasdaq does. $BTC

Afraid of missing the rally, but also afraid of getting stuck holding the bag 🥲
