Tonight's non-farm payrolls have already pushed the market sentiment to the limit.
The current consensus is: Unemployment rate at 4.4%, non-farm job gains around 50,000. But the real danger isn't in the numbers themselves, but in—liquidity is too poor. Once the data clearly signals a negative surprise, in this environment of insufficient depth and full leverage, BTC is likely not just "a correction," but a direct stall and plunge. The most ideal scenario is actually just one: neither good nor bad news. What’s more exciting is that tonight not only releases November data but also makes up for October’s figures. This means there will be two waves of volatility, and emotions can easily be amplified. Currently, both US stocks and the crypto market are betting on a consensus: Soft landing—economic slowdown but no crash, with the Federal Reserve continuing to provide liquidity. Last night, BTC already paid its "tuition" in advance: after falling below 86k, it rebounded to around 88k, with over $500 million in liquidations across the network. The core reason for this decline isn’t complicated: Excessive leverage on longs + risk-averse sentiment before the data release. But the on-chain structure hasn't completely deteriorated: Long-term holders’ selling pressure remains limited, and institutions (including BlackRock) continue accumulating during the pullback. As long as tonight’s data doesn’t blow up, a classic scenario is likely: “Sell the expectations, buy the facts.” Under this path, BTC’s short-term rebound target remains in the 92k–95k range. The only thing that makes my scalp tingle is: I just took another look at the market chart, and longs are starting to pile leverage again. If the data is lukewarm, it’s fuel; If the data explodes, it’s the fuse. Tonight isn’t a battle of directions, It’s a question of who gets the liquidity first. #BTC #非农 #宏观 #美联储降息预测
