This week, the crypto market enters a period of dense macroeconomic data releases. Major global economic indicators will be unveiled in succession. From Federal Reserve speeches to employment data and CPI figures, these releases directly influence the short-term trends of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Market volatility has already reached its peak; even a slight breeze could trigger black swan events, so heightened vigilance is required.



Let's take a look at the key schedule for this week. Monday features the US December Manufacturing PMI data and related officials' speeches, which can provide early policy signals. By Wednesday, the Eurozone CPI and US ADP employment data will surface, directly indicating the upcoming non-farm payroll report. Thursday and Friday are the critical moments—initial jobless claims, December non-farm employment data, and the unemployment rate—these three figures often serve as the final turning points for this week's market movements.

Regarding trading, the strategy before the data is released is to hold a light position and wait. This period is prone to market manipulation, with a high risk of losses, so it's not worth getting involved in the chaos. It’s more efficient to wait until the data is officially announced before making decisions. If non-farm payrolls underperform expectations, the rate cut anticipation will intensify, and this could be a good time to position for long trades. Conversely, if the data is hawkish, indicating that tightening pressures remain, caution should be exercised when bottom-fishing, and strict stop-loss levels are essential.

Light positions and waiting? Haha, those big players have already laid out on the chain. The address flows you can't see are the real story.

Holding a small position and waiting for this move is truly brilliant. Every time I want to go all-in, I get swept out.

Is the idea of holding a small position and waiting really reliable, or is it just the prelude to another group of retail investors getting slaughtered?

Data-intensive weeks are really prone to crashes, or it's more comfortable to just stay lightly invested and watch passively. Another week of excitement and tension; on Non-Farm Payrolls day, you must stick to your stop-loss. That's right, during these times, full positions are just giving away money, I've learned that. If a black swan event occurs on Thursday or Friday, those who are heavily leveraged might cry themselves to death. Expecting a bullish move on weak Non-Farm Payrolls, and tightening up on hawkish signals—sounds simple, but anyone can get it wrong. It's basically betting on the Federal Reserve's mood; when they’re happy, the crypto market follows the hype. Don't go all-in; I need to survive until the Non-Farm Payrolls moment in this market. In the face of data, technical analysis doesn't matter; it's all about luck.
