US ADP private employment data released last night caused market turbulence, with the decline hitting its highest level since March 2023, far exceeding analysts' previous estimates. This unexpectedly weak report led to sharp fluctuations in gold prices and shifted all attention to the upcoming December Federal Reserve meeting. Will liquidity policy shift as a result? The market is waiting for an answer.
Confusion in the data has made judgment even harder. The cliff-like drop in ADP employment data was already surprising enough, but it’s even more problematic that several recent core economic reports have been repeatedly delayed, with some CPI data even canceled altogether. These issues in the statistical system have left the Fed lacking key references when making policy decisions, significantly increasing the uncertainty of the December meeting. Expectations for rate cuts are diverging in the capital markets, with some betting on aggressive easing, while others worry about an inflation rebound.
Geopolitical and policy risks are also brewing simultaneously $LUNC. Rumors of personnel changes within the Fed have raised concerns about policy independence. Coupled with military posturing in some regions of the Western Hemisphere and the protracted conflict in Eastern Europe, global risk premiums have risen significantly. Energy and commodity price volatility has intensified, and signs of stagflation are emerging.
For the crypto market, these changes have an even more direct impact $BTC. Previously, the rise in US stocks relied heavily on expectations of rate cuts and support from AI themes, but now that employment data has exposed the true pressure on economic fundamentals, the contradiction between valuation bubbles and economic weakness has become sharper. If expectations for loose liquidity cool down, crypto assets—which are extremely sensitive to liquidity—will inevitably face intense volatility. Currently, bulls and bears are fiercely battling, leverage risk continues to accumulate, and a slight misstep could trigger a chain reaction.
December will be a crucial decision window for global capital. Against a backdrop of weakening economic momentum and intertwined risk factors, the Fed’s final tone will directly determine the direction of liquidity. For crypto market participants, the most important thing now is to closely monitor policy signals, control leverage ratios, and maintain portfolio flexibility in order to find opportunities amid this round of turbulence.

Here we go again—when the data looks good, everything's fine, but when it looks bad, everything's terrible. Who's actually telling the truth?

Another case of "data manipulation" again, I bet this time the Fed will just play dead.

How do you control leverage now? Everyone entering the market is just a gambler, right?
---
December really just depends on what the Fed says, is there any point anymore?
---
Once employment data crashes, the crypto market will get hit again, so annoying.
---
What's so sensitive about liquidity? In the end, it's just the retail investors who are the most sensitive.
---
With this pace, a rate cut seems unlikely... but it could also be psychological warfare.
---
Luna is jumping around again, unbelievable.

The economic fundamentals are bad, and you still expect crypto to rise? Keep dreaming.

Here we go again? They've stopped releasing the data, so how are we supposed to judge—Is the Fed just playing games now?
With leverage piled up this much, we should have cut some positions a while ago. Let's wait for the December signal.
If this round of stagflation logic is confirmed, crypto will crash directly—don’t wait until then to regret it.

It's the same old story: data crashed, rate cuts are gone, just waiting to get rekt in December.

Here we go again, data is a mess and data releases are being canceled. Feels like even the Fed itself is confused.
The pace of leverage explosions will have to continue next year. Let's see how the Fed performs in December.
If they don't cut rates this time, it'll be a complete mess. Over at Luna, they've already given up.

The data has crashed, now the Fed will be scratching their heads. The leveraged traders are probably going to get liquidated.
