#数字资产行情上升 Tonight, the US initial jobless claims data will be released, and this number determines the mood of the crypto market.



Why is this so important? Simply put, fewer initial jobless claims—good employment—means the Federal Reserve has no reason to cut interest rates—high interest rates continue to suppress risk assets like Bitcoin. Conversely, if the number increases, expectations for rate cuts rise, and liquidity easing can attract funds back into the crypto market, making a rebound more likely.

In previous instances, unexpected declines in the data directly dampened market expectations for rate cuts, and the crypto space was indeed hit hard. But markets can be quite unpredictable: when strong data is released, institutions often hedge against dollar depreciation with Bitcoin, leading to an influx of funds.

After tonight’s release, there are likely three scenarios. If the data is below expectations, crypto assets may test support levels. If above expectations, the market could rebound. If the data meets expectations, expect continued volatility, but beware of secondary shocks from subsequent Federal Reserve statements.

Want to seize the opportunity? Focus on two key signals: first, how much the data deviates from market expectations—greater deviation means more volatility. Second, observe the flow of funds in spot ETFs—this reflects the true positioning of institutions. In a macro-driven market, initial jobless claims almost serve as the command stick for short-term crypto market movements.

Here we go again. Every time the initial jobless claims data is released, I get nervous. The crypto world relies on this to keep going.

Once the initial request is out, the crypto world either soars to the sky or plunges into the ground, with no middle ground.

Unemployment claims are causing trouble again. As soon as this data is released, the crypto market will shake. If it's low, Bitcoin will continue to be hammered; if it's high, it might rebound. The key still depends on how institutions play it.

It's that initial jobless claims data again; the fate of the crypto world is truly being dictated by unemployment benefits. The institutions' move this time is really aggressive; they strongly oppose the data and hedge with BTC, which is a real slap in the face. Let's wait and see how the spot ETF moves tonight—that will reveal the true intentions of the institutional big players.

Wait, are institutions using Bitcoin to hedge against the dollar's depreciation? I need to think this through... Could it be that the impact of rate cuts and hikes on the crypto market isn't that absolute?

It's another initial unemployment claim, always so mysterious... Once the data is out, we'll know who got hit.

The initial jobless claims data comes out, and the crypto market's mood depends on it. Ultimately, it still has to be controlled by the Federal Reserve.

It's that initial jobless claims data again, always causing panic every time, so annoying. Only by monitoring ETF capital flows can we be more confident; the data itself has long been digested. When rate cut expectations rise, cryptocurrencies go up. I'm tired of hearing this logic, but it does work. The biggest fear now is the Fed's jawboning second strike, which is even harsher than the data itself. It should have been a good time to jump in a couple of days ago; now betting on this rebound is the real gamble. Institutions play the hedging game, but retail investors just can't keep up with the rhythm. The support level was promised, but it keeps breaking every time. Who the hell can believe it? If tonight's data exceeds expectations, I'll admit defeat, but I have a feeling I'll get cut again. Since the day liquidity was loosened, BTC hasn't been calm, and this time is probably no different.
