U.S. labor market data shows that initial unemployment claims are at 214,000, below expectations, and the number of continued claims has also decreased, indicating a resilient job market. This reinforces expectations of a soft landing for the economy and will impact the crypto market and Federal Reserve policies.

【Crypto World】Good news comes from the US labor market. Last week, the number of first-time unemployment claims was 214,000, lower than the market expectation of 223,500, indicating that the employment market is still absorbing labor. More notably, as of the week ending December 13, the number of people continuing to claim unemployment benefits was 1.923 million, also below the expected 1.9 million.

This set of data is quite interesting—new unemployment claims are decreasing, and the number of ongoing claims is also declining, reflecting the overall resilience of the US employment market. For the crypto market, this means expectations of a soft landing are strengthening, and the fundamentals supporting risk assets are also improving. The Federal Reserve’s policy space judgment will also be adjusted accordingly, thereby influencing the liquidity environment. During this end-of-year period, such data will directly impact market pricing of the easing cycle next year.

Oh no, this data is boosting our confidence again. The soft landing expectation is strengthening, liquidity is coming? Faith is at its maximum. --- Another signal that allows us to stand up again. Remember, the bottom range is confirmed repeatedly like this. --- 21.4K versus 22.35K... The subtle difference behind this may be the key to next year's market. Be patient, the phoenix will always rebirth. --- Having experienced many disappointments, this unemployment data surprisingly makes me a little hesitant to believe... but opportunities are born from such doubts. --- The Federal Reserve's policy space has opened, liquidity is coming, can the crypto market not rebound? Instead of worrying about the decline, seize this moment of rebirth. --- Honestly, this set of data gives me the courage to traverse the cycle. The time for emotional recovery has arrived. --- Strong employment resilience, improving fundamentals of risk assets... sounds good, but the law of conservation of energy tells me that the deeper the decline, the stronger the rebound. We are just accumulating strength.

Soft landing? Uh, I still have some doubts, but anyway, BTC will rise first to show respect.

Hmm, this data indeed presents arbitrage opportunities. When the soft landing expectation is strong, liquidity loosens up, and those bots in the mempool will start bidding wildly again.

Here we go again. Good news, do the reverse indicator push me? Last time, the employment data was positive, and I got cut in half. This time, going all in again is the real deal.
