Crypto enthusiasts beware! U.S. unemployment claims data is causing a stir, is the Federal Reserve about to make a "sharp turn"?
Family, who understands this! On November 18, the U.S. government suddenly decided to "make up for missed homework"—concentrating on issuing a batch of delayed initial unemployment claims data, which directly set the global financial circle ablaze, and the liquidity lifeline of the crypto market is about to be affected!
This is not just an ordinary data update; it hides two key signals:
First, the majority of data is revised upwards + the number of continuing claims surges: As of the week ending October 18, the number of initial unemployment claims soared to 232,000, and the number of continuing claims jumped to 1,957,000 (an increase of 10,000 compared to the previous week), which means that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a job after unemployment, and the "gap period" is getting longer; the weakness of the U.S. labor market can no longer be concealed;
Second, data gaps + 6 sets of data not released: Previously, due to a record government shutdown, 6 sets of key data were underreported, and some may never be recovered, and only after the temporary funding bill was passed on November 12 was the statistical reporting restored.
It is important to know that labor data is the "navigational instrument" for the Federal Reserve in formulating policies. Now that the navigation is malfunctioning, the Federal Reserve is essentially "driving with eyes closed"! The previous interest rate cuts already reflected concerns about employment, and now with such a stir caused by the data, the December monetary policy meeting is completely uncertain. The market is all guessing that "policy is about to shift"—and every move made by the Federal Reserve directly affects the wallets in the crypto market!
Many retail investors are blindly navigating in the crypto market, not due to a lack of effort, but because they cannot accurately gauge the direction. The market changes daily, but critical turning points are fleeting. Understanding the policy signals behind the unemployment claims data is crucial to getting in line early.
Only by following those who can see through the essence of the data can one step to the right rhythm amidst the fog of policy, rather than realizing they are facing the wrong direction when the wind comes. What you lack is not the opportunity, but the confidence to seize it! $BTC $ETH $SOL #加密市场回调 #BNB创新高
