There's an interesting story. On Thursday evening, a high-profile political figure posted a chart of the December employment report on social media—claiming it was data "not yet officially announced."

The chart displayed key data: since January, the private sector has added 654,000 jobs. Interestingly, this figure matched exactly with the official numbers released a few hours later.

Guess what? The timing of this post was 12 hours earlier than the scheduled public release of the data. Usually, presidential-level figures receive briefings the day before data is made public—so this was indeed quite ahead of schedule.

For traders focused on the US economy, such data leaks often influence macro expectations and can trigger chain reactions in the short-term direction of the entire crypto market. Employment data strength or weakness directly impacts Federal Reserve policy and market risk appetite, making it something to watch closely.

Wow, releasing data 12 hours in advance, is this a big gift for traders? The smell of insider trading is a bit strong. Why hasn't BTC been pumped up? When the Federal Reserve's stance changes, the crypto market trembles. We still need to keep a close eye on macroeconomics. Can this employment data really determine the next market trend? Where's the fair market everyone promised? Some people just know things a bit earlier.

This insider trading smell is a bit strong, releasing data 12 hours in advance? --- Wait, employment data + Federal Reserve policy, this chain reaction really needs to be watched closely, the crypto circle is the most aggressive in following trends --- 654,000 new jobs, the data matches up, but this move... frankly, it's just information asymmetry --- Damn, this is why I say traditional finance and the crypto world are equally corrupt, both insiders have the foresight --- Short-term fluctuations are definitely there, but in the long run, this employment data can't change the big picture --- Interesting, there's always a "head start" gap between politicians and traders --- So how will BTC react? It still depends on the Fed's subsequent stance; employment is just a signal --- This is true "inside information," we retail investors have to wait for the official release before acting, hilarious --- 12 hours in advance? Damn, is this a loophole in the system or deliberate leak? Worth pondering

Wow, this is the smell of insider trading, leaking data 12 hours in advance? This move is brilliant, directly influencing the price trend. The market is here, everyone keep a close eye on the Federal Reserve's actions. Another palace intrigue, but this time the stage is Wall Street. The data was leaked early, and traders probably started manipulating the market already.

This is outrageous. Releasing data 12 hours in advance clearly aims to wipe out a wave of retail investors. Insider trading has renamed itself, and now it's so blatant. Wait, are you sure the 654,000 job positions are real and not inflated? It feels a bit fake. When employment data moves, the market trembles. The Fed's rate cut expectations will fluctuate again. This move is simply genius. Where did the compliance department go to sleep? If I had known 12 hours earlier, I wouldn't have been liquidated.

This information leak is way too obvious, clearly spoiling the plot in advance, retail investors are directly being cut off.
