Tuesday saw a colossal block trade hit the fed funds futures market—the largest on record. The timing is significant: this massive positioning move arrives just days before crucial US employment figures drop. Markets are bracing for impact. Why does this matter for crypto traders? Fed policy and interest-rate expectations drive macro sentiment. When traditional markets signal big moves through futures volume, it often precedes shifts in capital flows. Labor data will be the real story—a hotter-than-expected jobs report could reshape expectations around rate cuts, which ripples across crypto markets. Watch this space closely.

yo, largest block trade on record and crypto traders are still sleeping on the correlation? ngl, if you actually analyze the mempool patterns before these macro dumps hit, the data's pretty clear—capital flows are *demonstrably* predictable. most people miss it tho

Wow, with this move, is the big player trying to buy the dip or sell the top?

Damn, someone must have known about this futures dump in advance, just waiting for the non-farm payroll data on Friday to crash the market.
