It's another US data day. Tonight at 21:30 Beijing time, the US will release the latest weekly initial jobless claims data, which is the most sensitive indicator ahead of Friday's non-farm payroll report.
How to interpret the numbers? If it exceeds 210,000, it indicates an increase in unemployment, signaling a cooling economy. The market will bet that the Federal Reserve will accelerate its rate cut pace, which is usually positive for risk assets like BTC and ETH. Conversely, if it is below 199,000, the labor market is still fighting inflation, and the rate cut expectations will be pushed further back, likely putting some pressure on the crypto market.
High-beta assets like SOL will experience more obvious volatility. Do you think this data will unexpectedly weaken, or will it continue to surprise with strength?

Betting sentiment is weak, and with everything falling like this, if it still remains strong, it would be a miracle.

I'm getting exhausted. It's another release before Friday. I bet on weak data and go all-in on SOL.

I heard the rate cut expectations are about to be proven wrong again? I've already got my bottom-fishing knife ready for betting on weakness.
