The US non-farm payroll data just came out, and the market is a bit confused.
The official expectation was an increase of 70,000 jobs, but the actual result was only 50,000, signaling obvious weakness on the employment front. Logically, this should be good news for safe-haven assets—gold and silver should rise accordingly. But strangely, the unemployment rate actually dropped from 4.6% to 4.4%, creating a conflicting set of data that feels like some kind of delicate balance.
The most direct consequence of this data is that it completely kills the hope of a rate cut in January. From a market perspective, the impact is neutral. The crypto market has no clear short-term bullish reasons, but there are also no signs of suppression—much depends on what happens next.
What truly warrants attention is the Supreme Court's ruling on the constitutionality of a major policy. If the policy is overturned, the gold and silver sectors could see a new upward trend. Once this ruling is announced, it will directly influence expectations for mainstream cryptocurrencies like Solana, Ethereum, and Bitcoin. The market reaction should be quite swift, so interested friends can closely follow this policy development.

Data conflicts are really intense; this market trend depends on the mood of the Supreme Court.

Data conflicts are too outrageous; how can the unemployment rate still decrease...
Let's wait for the Supreme Court's ruling; that's the real game changer.
We have to wait for policy signals for this round of market trend; jumping in now is too risky.
The truth can't be faked, and falsehood can't be made true; let's just watch.
The interest rate cut dream is shattered; there's no room for short-term actions right now.

50,000 vs 70,000, the data clash is back
Unemployment rate surging in the opposite direction? This feels a bit strange... Wait for the Supreme Court ruling, that seems to be the real drama
Bitcoin is just waiting for policy direction right now, a bit boring

Data conflicts are indeed surreal; the dream of interest rate cuts is shattered, and that's the end of it.
