Watch out for a volatile trading session ahead. Two major economic catalysts are dropping this morning that could shake the market.

Unemployment figures hit the tape at 8:30 am ET—expectations are sitting around 4.5%. Then at 10 am ET comes the Supreme Court ruling on tariffs, where prediction markets currently give Trump's position just a 24% shot of prevailing.

Both events carry weight for risk assets. The unemployment data could influence Fed policy bets, while the tariff decision moves broader economic sentiment. Strap in; this is the kind of morning that tends to whip through stops and shake out weak hands.

Another morning like this, I love this chaotic feeling --- Can unemployment data really decide anything? The market has already priced it in --- A 24% chance? Really daring, crazy --- Every time this happens, I have to cut losses. I bet five dollars I’ll lose again today --- Waiting to see who will be shaken out, it’s definitely a bunch of retail investors --- The key is to wait for the tariff ruling at 10 o’clock. It feels like the early session can’t break out --- Basically, it’s a casino. It’s all about who has the stronger mental resilience --- In this kind of market, you should go all in. Anyway, it’s going to fall

8:30 and 10:00 are the moments when the game equilibrium is definitely broken. Unemployment data vs. tariff rulings—this is a textbook example of using economic models to forcefully shatter the market efficiency hypothesis. The arbitrage opportunities for the weaker side must be fully exploited today.

Good grief, I have to keep a close eye on 8:30 and 10:00... If the unemployment rate exceeds expectations, it will directly cause a market crash. The key is also the tariff ruling; a 24% probability essentially means a high likelihood of a reverse move.

8:30 and 10:00 are indeed tough time points, with unemployment data + tariff rulings, a double impact... the weak hands will suffer this round.

Damn, these two data points hit together today. A big wave of volatility is coming... I can't bet on a 24% chance, bro.
