#SOL升值空间 【The Truth Behind U.S. Unemployment Data: Crypto Market Should Be Cautious】



Recently, Citibank put forward an interesting perspective: the unemployment number in the U.S. last week superficially dropped to 199,000, which looks good, but this figure may have been "beautified" through seasonal adjustments. The true unemployment situation won't be fully revealed until January, when the unemployment rate could jump to 4.7%.

What does this mean for the crypto market? It's worth thinking carefully.

**The Logic Behind the Data**

The surface employment data looks good, but the participation rate is rising, indicating what? It likely suggests that real unemployment is brewing beneath the surface. The Federal Reserve's decisions will become more complex because of this—market expectations of rate cuts may have been overly exaggerated. Once the data reverses, risk assets will be the first to feel the pressure, and high-volatility assets like $BTC, $ETH, and $BNB won't escape.

**Market Facing Repricing**

From historical experience, macro turning points are most likely to catch those who are complacent off guard. If the employment market indeed reverses, will Bitcoin follow the trend downward or move independently? That's a question worth pondering.

**Your Options**

The key now is: are you continuing to bet on a strengthening economy, or are you proactively hedging risks? Both viewpoints are present in the market. It might be wise to review your position allocation before the real data is released.

Citibank's recent statement is a bit intimidating; it feels like the data is about to explode.

This analysis from Citibank is quite insightful. I've seen too many seasonal adjustment tricks before. Once the January data is out, we'll know what's real and what's not. By then, the market might have to be reshuffled.

Citibank's recent warning is quite serious. If the unemployment rate jumps to 4.7% in January, BTC will crash directly. Those still fully invested now probably just want to catch the bottom.

Citibank is once again causing panic; anyway, data always has two interpretations.

Citibank's recent warning is not unfounded; with January data out, a reshuffle is likely once again.

Citigroup's recent warning is quite serious, with the January unemployment rate jumping to 4.7%. Can BTC still hold up?
