This week is going to explode. The economic data from China and the US are almost simultaneously triggering a surge, coupled with increased geopolitical risks, which will redefine the liquidity landscape of the entire crypto market.



The timeline is as follows: early in the week, China's and the US's PMI data will be released first, followed closely by the US non-farm payroll (ADP employment data). Meanwhile, South Korea is also making big moves, with Samsung and SK executives visiting China alongside government officials, instantly heating up geopolitical variables. But the real showdown is on Friday—the CPI and PPI from China will face off against the US non-farm payroll on the same day, directly impacting global liquidity expectations for January.

The more uncertain the macro environment, the more funds tend to flow into areas with high consensus. Recently, small tokens related to the Elon Musk concept have been very active, and the community's enthusiasm behind them is soaring. The 24-hour live streams and global community participation behind these tokens have become a formidable force during such market volatility.

The key question is: will this round of non-farm data cause the market to reprice expectations for rate cuts? If US employment data unexpectedly shows weakness, Bitcoin and Ethereum will react strongly. Conversely, strong non-farm data combined with China's economic performance could cause a rapid shift in the market's risk appetite.

If Friday's non-farm payroll report is weak, I'll go all in on Musk-themed coins. Anyway, with the macro environment so chaotic, riding the community's hype is the way to survive.

Friday is probably going to be a bloodbath, I bet on this wave of Musk coins.

Friday's non-farm payrolls are the real watershed; whether Bitcoin can break new highs this time depends entirely on this move.

ngl, this week's cooking up something spicy — but that musk flavor seasoning everyone's adding? feels half-baked tbh. the real recipe reveals friday when china and fed drop their numbers simultaneously. if employment data comes out weak, btc's gonna simmer down hard, not gonna lie. watching the liquidity depth before the dust settles...

If the non-farm payrolls are weak on Friday, I'll go all-in on BTC... Just kidding, I mean I'll observe and see how it goes.

On Friday, I have to stay glued to the screen. Once the non-farm data is released, it's all over... I've already laid low for the Musk-related coins, just betting on this wave of consensus building.

Friday's non-farm payrolls are definitely a watershed; I bet on weak US data, and BTC directly hit a new high.

If the non-farm payrolls are weak on Friday, we are really going to the moon, with BTC breaking new highs in no time.

Friday will definitely be explosive, weak non-farm data directly benefits BTC, no suspense this time. I really don't understand those Musk coins; no matter how hot the community is, it's just so-so...
