There is a pattern for 2026 that is already very clear but many people haven't yet incorporated into their methodology:
The AI industry is splitting into three layers, and the money-making positions are fixed.
First layer: Discovery
Where you find models, datasets, evaluations, tutorials, one-click deployment.
Whoever controls this layer captures attention and default choices.
Second layer: Execution
Cards, electricity, cloud, inference scheduling.
Whoever controls this layer charges rent based on tokens and machine time.
Third layer: Results
Specific customer workflows: writing code, reviewing medical records, running customer service, managing advertising, handling inventory.
Whoever controls this layer holds pricing power, rather than being replaced at any time by model vendors.
In the past two years, the easiest for ordinary people was the skin of the third layer: wrapping a layer of ChatGPT and charging a monthly fee.
Now this layer is being eaten up by the platforms themselves.
The more stable positions become two types:
Either you own the distribution of a certain type of result (an entry point for a specific industry);
Or you translate changes in the discovery and execution layers into workflows others can immediately use.
Looking at this a week later, it still holds true.
Because acquisitions can change landlords, but these three layers will not change.G20 officially "legitimizes" crypto assets for the first time; foreign media directly describe this statement as a "transformative effect"—the "moment of legitimacy" for crypto assets has finally arrived. $BTC $ETH From August 31 to September 1, 2026, the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meeting was held in Asheville, USA. The chairman's statement after the meeting contains two sentences worth careful study by everyone interested in crypto assets: "Digital financial innovation, including digital assets, can support broad economic growth," and the G20 commits to establishing a "clear path" for digital asset innovation. This is the first time in history that the G20 officially acknowledges in a formal document the contribution of digital assets to economic growth, and the first time it explicitly commits to building a regulatory runway for the industry. Foreign media directly describe this statement as a "transformative effect"—the "moment of legitimacy" for crypto assets has finally arrived. To understand the weight of this statement, one must review the G20's attitude evolution over the past decade. When the G20 first discussed crypto assets in 2018, the conclusion was that they "lack key characteristics of sovereign currency," would "exacerbate issues like tax evasion and money laundering," and even considered their "scale too small to threaten financial markets." The 2022 Bali Declaration began calling for the establishment of a global regulatory framework, emphasizing "same activity, same risk, same regulation." In 2023, a regulatory roadmap was passed, and in 2025, the emphasis remained on "regulatory gaps." For ten years, the G20's attitude toward crypto assets has always centered on one word: risk. But this time, the Asheville statement used a completely Apple's "easy profit" era is over
35x P/E ratio, delayed foldable screen, all-glass iPhone canceled—how much of Apple's "innovation premium" remains? The AI wave has pushed DRAM costs up by 370%, squeezing gross margins; service growth has fallen below 10%, and the installation base has peaked. Six institutions are bearish, matching the 2012 record. Back then, the iPhone 5 came to the rescue, but what about today? Before answering this question, I want to show you all some data, or a special phenomenon: According to the "cost distribution heatmap," during 8/4–8/18, short-term chips suddenly saw dense turnover (Chart 1, red zone), in the price range of around $63K–$65K. Back in June–July, BTC had stayed at this same level for a long time, but no similar phenomenon appeared then. After this dense turnover, price suddenly and uncharacteristically surged sharply and quickly, with no pause in between. It's cleAfter the sharp drop a few days ago, BTC once fell to around $76,000, causing countless people to panic sell. But in just one day, the bulls launched a direct counterattack, pushing the price back above $81,000. ETH also returned to around $2,500, and major altcoins like SOL, SUI, and UNI collectively surged. The total market capitalization approached $2.82 trillion again, reaching a new high in recent months. Why the sudden surge? The core reason comes from the Federal Reserve. Fed official Waller stated that if inflation continues to improve in August, the interest rate may remain unchanged in September instead of continuing to rise. This statement instantly ignited global risk assets, weakening the dollar, lowering U.S. Treasury yields, and causing funds to flow back into the crypto market. Another data point worth everyone's attention: within 24 hours, short positions in the crypto market were liquidated by over $400 million, with a large amount of short funds forcibly closed—this is a typical "short squeeze" scenario. Many expected further declines, but it turned into fuel for the rally. What’s next? I believe the truly important level is not $80,000, but the $82,000–$83,000 resistance zone. If BTC can hold above this level, funds will continue to flow into strong coins like ETH, SOL, SUI, and OKB; if it fails to break through, the market may experience another round of consolidation and shakeout. Is there an opportunity for altcoins? I think it increasingly resembles the second phase of a bull market. BTC is responsible for breaking new highs, ETH attracts institutional funds, and the real profit opportunities are likely to appear in AI, public chains, RWA, and exchange ecosystems. SUI’s ecosystem has recently... #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温
I am Feige, disciple of Brother Ci. The nonfarm payrolls exploded. August added 162,000 jobs, the market expected less than 60,000, the actual number nearly tripled. The unemployment rate is 4.1%, and wage growth at 3.8% also exceeded expectations. The job market has not cooled down at all; instead, it is accelerating.
After the data release, the probability of a rate hike in September jumped from 50% directly to over 60%. The 10-year US Treasury yield reported 4.818%, hitting the highest level since November 2023. Waller just hinted the day before yesterday that if the data is strong, a rate hike will be considered; the nonfarm payrolls directly point in this direction. With employment data settled and far exceeding expectations, the Federal Reserve has little reason to remain inactive.
For BTC, the nonfarm payrolls exceeding expectations directly dispel rate cut fantasies, and the high interest rate environment puts short-term pressure. The short liquidation zone above 85,000 faces much greater difficulty breaking through amid rising rate hike expectations. Bank of America called the nonfarm payrolls an appetizer; CPI is the main course. If CPI also exceeds expectations, a September rate hike is a done deal. If CPI unexpectedly weakens, rate hike expectations might be extinguished. Employment data is already settled, and the scale is tipping toward a rate hike. The direction hasn't changed, only the pace. Feige has finished speaking; savor it carefully. $BTC $ETH $ZEC 162,000?! Is this data a joke?
Tonight at 8:30 PM, the nonfarm payroll data hits triple critical: US August nonfarm payrolls explode directly with an increase of 162,000, while the expectation was only 55,000, nearly 3 times the forecast.
Even more intense, July's data was revised from -23,000 to +21,000, and June was also revised upward, with a net increase of 55,000 over two months. The Fed's most desired "cooling labor market" evidence vanished overnight.
$BTC dropped from 81,340 to 79,661 in a single 5-minute candlestick, with over $200 million long liquidations across the network in one hour, totaling $768 million in 24 hours!
The 10-year US Treasury yield surged to 4.79%, the 2-year hit a new high since January 2025, and the dollar index recovered most of yesterday's losses.
Yesterday, Waller just said "give the pause a chance," but tonight's nonfarm data directly shut that down.
The probability of a September rate hike instantly jumped from 50% to over 60%, sharply reinforcing Chair Wash's hawkish framework: employment isn't bad, inflation is above 2%, so why not raise rates?
But don't rush to short: historically, the Fed has never raised rates after two consecutive months of negative nonfarm growth. Now, with this data, the logic has changed. The real judgment day is the CP on 9/11.
I# August nonfarm payrolls of 162,000 far exceed expectations, rate hike bets heat up BTC surged back to 82,000, but don’t rush to go long: before the non-farm payrolls, the high position is the most dangerous
Yesterday, BTC quickly rose from around 77,000 to 82,300, reclaiming the previous resistance zone. On the surface, the bulls seem strong, but what really needs attention is that this rally is more due to short covering rather than being fully driven by new capital inflows.
After Waller released a dovish signal, the market quickly adjusted interest rate expectations, and concentrated short covering pushed BTC to rebound rapidly. However, as the price returned to the 81,000–82,000 range, funding rates turned positive, long leverage started to accumulate again, and short-term risks began to increase.
The biggest variable tonight remains the August non-farm payrolls.
If employment data beats expectations and wages remain resilient, the market will reprice "higher rates for longer," and BTC may spike then pull back. Key supports to watch are 80,000 and 78,000.
If the non-farm payrolls weaken significantly and rate hike expectations cool down, BTC will have a chance to break out above 83,000 with volume, opening further upside space.
Current key levels:
BTC:
Resistance: 82,000–83,000
Support: 80,000–78,000
ETH:
Resistance: around 2,550
Support: 2,450–2,400
From a trading perspective, it’s not suitable to blindly chase the rally before the non-farm payrolls release. During high-level consolidation, the biggest opportunities often come from waiting for the market to give direction rather than betting prematurely.
Watch volume for breakouts and watch absorption for pullbacks. Before confirmation, managing position size is more important than predicting direction. $BTC #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 刚刚公布的美国最新就业数据再次引发市场波动： 📊 非农新增就业约 15.8 万人 📊 市场预期约 6.5 万人 📊 失业率维持在 4.2% 就业市场明显强于预期，第一反应对 BTC 并不算友好。 因为就业越强，美联储短期内就越没有足够理由快速降息，美元指数和美债收益率存在重新走强的可能，风险资产也可能面临一定压力。 但我认为，这次数据未必意味着加密市场马上转空。 市场真正交易的核心，并不是单纯的“就业好还是坏”，而是——9 月美联储到底会不会继续维持偏鹰立场。 如果接下来美国通胀继续降温，那么“就业保持韧性 + 通胀持续回落”反而可能成为风险资产比较舒服的宏观组合。 🔥 对 BTC 来说，现在最重要的不是看到数据就恐慌，而是观察价格能不能扛住这次宏观冲击。 如果 BTC 出现短线回撤，但依然守住关键支撑区域，那么这次下跌甚至可能只是一次洗盘，随后不排除重新向上测试 8.5 万美元附近。 就业数据只是第一张牌。 真正决定下一轮行情方向的，可能还是通胀数据、美联储政策预期以及资金流向。 大行情，也许才刚刚开始。👀🔥 #BTC #Bitcoin #Crypto #美联储 #非农 As night falls, the volatility of the crypto market does not quiet down with the daytime hustle. A trading record unfolds, showing several short positions in a predicament, much like a pedestrian holding an umbrella against the wind—the direction is correct, but all the force is wasted. An ETH 20x leveraged short position shows an unrealized loss of 217.37 USDT, a drop of 17.62%; the actual profit and loss is -89.43 USD, meaning frequent position adjustments have not captured the trend's gains but instead contributed nearly 90 USD in fees and slippage to the exchange. This is not an isolated case. An ARB 50x short position yields 0.00%, with the price stagnant like still water; high leverage maxed out but no profit made, only capital and time costs quietly eroding. An EDGE 20x short position shows a paper profit of 2.67%, but the actual profit is zero; despite studying resistance levels and precise entries, even fees were not covered in the end. These three trades—one loss, one flat, one virtual gain—seem different but point to the same logic: high leverage does not increase win rates but accelerates principal depletion during volatility. When unrealized losses become real wounds, fees become the finishing blow, and sideways markets turn into mental torture, traders realize that so-called professional positions are just the market gently collecting tuition fees. Risk warning: leveraged trading carries extremely high risk; please control your position size rationally and never invest funds beyond your capacity. $ETH $ARB $EDGE Last week, Federal Reserve Chair Wash hawkishly spoke at Jackson Hole, pushing the rate hike probability directly from 34% to 70%. Then Fed Governor Waller said—if inflation data is as expected, he tends to keep rates unchanged. Man, can you guys settle your internal fight first?
The rate hike probability then started a rollercoaster:
· September 2: CME shows 66.9% probability of a rate hike
· September 3: dropped to 62.3%
· September 4 (this morning): fell to 50.2%—a 50/50 chance of hiking or not
Then tonight, nonfarm payrolls came in at 162,000, three times the expectation. Once the data was released, the 2-year Treasury yield surged 8 basis points to 4.416%, a new high since January 2025. Swap contracts show the rate hike size rising from 13 basis points to 16 basis points.
In plain English: nonfarm payrolls kicked the rate hike probability back up.

🧠 What does this have to do with Bitcoin?
Oil prices. If the US and Iran clash, Brent crude soars above $90. Oil price up → inflation up → Fed hikes rates → money flees risk assets → Bitcoin drops.
The good news: the rate hike probability hasn’t returned to 70% yet. The Fed is still divided—Waller says keep rates steady, Wash says inflation is still high, currently the vote is 6 to keep rates versus 5 to hike.
Next Friday (September 11) there’s CPI data, which is the ultimate boss deciding whether to hike on September 16. $BTC #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 The Nasdaq futures pulled back sharply, but Bitcoin and Ethereum remain completely still—still shaking out?
Honestly, when prices fall, everyone falls together, but rebounds don’t necessarily rise together.
The nonfarm payroll data has been released, yet the market shows clear divergence.
1. This Nasdaq rebound is driven by funds rushing into AI tech stocks, which is money circulating within the US stock market itself; no extra funds are flowing into the crypto space. The money is limited, prioritizing the more certain US stocks, so it’s not feeding Bitcoin or Ethereum.
2. Data release doesn’t mean the dust has settled! The market is still digesting the nonfarm data and reassessing the probability of interest rate hikes. The US stock market dares to gamble on recovery, but Bitcoin and Ethereum have more concerns, fearing further policy reversals, so funds hesitate to enter aggressively.
3. The correlation between the two is not constant. During big drops, risk assets fall together; but in rebounds, funds pick sectors selectively, not spreading evenly. US stocks recover first; the crypto market doesn’t necessarily follow in sync.
4. There is still a large amount of contract leverage within the crypto market. As long as incremental funds are unwilling to enter, even if US stocks soar, BTC and ETH can only stay flat.
In short: US stocks recover first does not mean the crypto market will immediately follow.
Nonfarm data is just the first blow; the market is still digesting subsequent rate hike expectations and hasn’t given a clear direction yet.
The crypto market remains hesitant.
$BTC $ETHTo be honest, $BTC is very likely to remain in a wide-range consolidation tomorrow, making it difficult to see a strong one-sided rally or crash.
Macro side: The just-released non-farm payroll data exceeded expectations, raising the probability of a Fed rate hike in September, and US Treasury yields are rising. This is the core reason why the recent surge is slowly retreating. Last night's rally was essentially short covering and stop-losses being triggered, not a real influx of new spot funds. Once the short squeeze ends, short-term profit-taking begins, and with insufficient buying power, prices naturally decline gradually. This macro bearish factor will linger in the short term.
Funds and positioning: The $81,000–$82,000 range is a significant resistance zone, with many positions being unwound and profits taken. ETF funds have started to diverge, no longer showing continuous large net inflows. Also, ETH and altcoins are weak in following the rally, indicating the market is just a battle of existing funds without signals of broad new entries.
Technical support and resistance: The first short-term support is at $77,500–$78,000; as long as this level holds, the consolidation pattern remains. Resistance above is at $80,500–$81,500. To break through again, volume must support it; otherwise, any surge is likely to be pushed back down.
Two scenarios: Holding support means back-and-forth consolidation with bulls and bears exhausting each other; a volume-backed break below $77,500 would open up room for a deeper pullback.
Tomorrow will be a choppy consolidation market with more spikes, so don’t bet on a one-sided move. Don’t just go bullish on a big rise or bearish on a pullback. Focus on US Treasury yields, ETF fund flows, and the key support at $77,500.

#财报观察员：博通业绩超预期，Snowflake上调指引
Is this wave of AI computing power still accelerating? Let's look at the numbers first.
Dell: Full-year revenue guidance raised to $192 billion, AI server revenue raised from $60 billion to $74 billion, AI server orders over the past 12 months exceed $130 billion, backlog $95 billion.
Broadcom: Q3 revenue $29.591 billion, up 86% year-over-year; AI semiconductor revenue $16.7 billion, up 221% year-over-year. Q4 revenue guidance $34.8 billion, slightly below market expectations, so the stock was hit after hours.
But what’s really worth watching are the forward-looking numbers from the earnings call: full-year AI revenue $58 billion, fiscal 2027 expected $115 billion, fiscal 2028 doubling again to $230 billion. Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta are all increasing investments in custom chips.
Snowflake hasn’t fallen behind either: revenue $1.55 billion, up 35% year-over-year, product revenue up 37%, full-year product revenue guidance raised from $5.84 billion to $6.07 billion, stock surged over 20% after hours.
So the current logic is actually very simple:
On the hardware side, orders and backlog continue to accumulate;
On the software side, AI workloads are also clearly accelerating.
But the real trouble for the market is — now "exceeding expectations" is no longer enough.
Broadcom’s earnings, EPS, and AI revenue all exceeded expectations, yet the stock was still hit because Q4 guidance was slightly lower. This shows the market is no longer trading on "whether there is AI demand," but on "whether the future can continue to double."
So I’m more focused on three things:
1. Whether orders continue to grow, not just how the stock price moves;
2. Whether AI revenue can be realized from this year’s $58 billion to next year’s $115 billion;
3. How much gap the market’s AI expectations can tolerate.
Currently, there is no obvious sign of AI computing demand cooling off, but what high-valuation assets fear most is not poor performance, but very good performance that isn’t as good as the market imagines.
This is the biggest contradiction in this round of AI market.
Do you think the market should focus more on Dell’s $95 billion backlog or Broadcom’s $230 billion AI revenue forecast for 2028?

Strong employment = hawkish confidence, next week's CPI is the real judge. In this environment, chasing $BTC long is like taking a hawkish knife, while naked shorts are stepping on the corpses of short squeezes, getting hit from both sides. My approach is simple: reduce position to the minimum, wait for catalysts to show up, rather than imagining scenarios myself. Who do you think next week's CPI will slap in the face? *$CORE v1.0.26 hard fork can't save the market 📉 dropped to 0.0214*

From "burning is good news" → "governance FUD", $CORE has clearly exposed the conflict between decentralization vs controlWhite House National Economic Council Director Hasseter: Inflation is under control, respect Fed independence On September 4, White House National Economic Council Director Hassett stated that inflation is under control and rate hikes are among the options the market considers on the table; The U.S. government respects the Fed's independence and is doing everything possible to lower prices. On September 4, White House National Economic Council Director Hassett publicly stated that inflation is under control and rate hikes are among the options people consider on the table, emphasizing that the government respects the Fed's independence and is doing everything possible to lower prices. This statement contains two layers of information. First, as the head of the White House's highest economic policy coordination post, Hassett has defined inflation as being under control, suggesting that the official assessment of the most intense period of price pressures has passed, leaving room for imagination for future monetary policy shifts toward easing. Second, explicitly stating that rate hikes are an option on the table injects uncertainty into the market, indicating that the government has not completely ruled out further tightening if prices fluctuate. The deliberate emphasis on respecting the Fed's independence is a response to external doubts about the White House pressuring the Fed, aiming to reduce the disruption expected from political intervention to financial markets. For the market, the Fed's policy path is the core anchor for risk asset pricing. Although such statements at the White House level do not directly change interest rates, they influence the market's game over the rate endpoint: if inflation falls and subsequent data verifies it, rising easing expectations will improve the liquidity environment in the crypto market; Conversely, if rate hike talks are reversed,The August nonfarm payroll data really slapped some faces.
The expectation was less than 60,000, but the result shot up to 162,000. The previous two months weren't as bad as originally thought either; June and July data were revised upward by a total of 55,000. This means the market previously thought employment was collapsing, but it actually wasn't collapsing at all.
Once this number came out, the probability of a rate hike in September jumped from 50% to over 60%. The dollar rallied, and gold and Bitcoin both dropped a bit in the short term.
Waller is also in an awkward spot; just the day before he said, "If inflation drops, we hold steady; if data is strong, we hike," and today the nonfarm payrolls directly told him: things are already on the strong side here.
Bank of America called the nonfarm payrolls an "appetizer," saying next Friday's CPI is the "main course," still expecting a hike in September. Wells Fargo's pre-game forecast was relatively optimistic at 80,000, but the actual number was less than half of that.
Back to $BTC, the 80,000 level was already quite delicate, and with the nonfarm payrolls out, the short-term direction is clearer—rate hike expectations are heating up, and the dollar is strengthening; this environment has never been good for risk assets. Next Wednesday's CPI is the last card before the FOMC meeting; if inflation also strengthens, a September rate hike is basically unavoidable. Let's wait and see what the CPI says. #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 This non-farm payroll report shows a combination of employment exceeding expectations and cooling wages, creating an overall favorable environment leaning towards an "economic soft landing," but different sectors will show clear divergence in performance.
✅ Beneficiary sectors
High-valuation technology and AI growth stocks receive support. The decline in wages means inflationary pressure eases, raising market expectations for future rate cuts, lowering discount rates, which helps boost valuations of long-term growth companies. Stocks like Nvidia, software, and cloud computing have greater elasticity.
⚠️ Pressured sectors
The banking sector is suppressed; once the market starts pricing in rate cut expectations, the interest rate spread between bank deposits and loans will compress, weakening profit expectations. Strong cyclical resources and industrial sectors also face pressure. Stable employment data will not stimulate a new round of strong stimulus expectations, and commodity-related cyclical stocks lack upward catalysts.
Overall market logic: A moderate economic slowdown is the most favorable condition for the US stock market, as it neither triggers an inflation rebound forcing rate hikes nor carries the risk of a rapid recession.
Key points for the subsequent market: The market is not trading on immediate rate cuts but on a shortened cycle of maintaining high interest rates. If inflation continues to decline, the technology growth theme will continue to dominate; if employment remains strong, rate cut expectations will be delayed again, limiting US stock gains. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 I think the more Trump says this, the less likely the Federal Reserve is to cut interest rates. Walsh also said at the Jackson Hole meeting that the Fed's credibility needs to be restored. Moreover, previous incidents like the phone call scandal, the change in statements tacitly allowing the bond market to raise rates on behalf of the Fed, and this series of signs all prove that if Walsh is a politically mature chairman, he certainly would not comply with Trump's wishes at this time.
As for the direction ahead, Walsh also said: emphasize data dependence, keep the possibility of rate hikes, and restore the Fed's credibility in fighting inflation.
Trump: The just-released employment data is fantastic, breaking all expectations (except mine!). Cut rates, because America's credit situation is much better than before! A strong country means lower interest rates because its credit situation is better... We should have the lowest rates in the world, just like "the good old days." If the US does not agree to allow them to have huge trade surpluses (which we can stop immediately), then they should no longer be considered financial "elite" countries! Cut rates, or I will stop trading with countries that have trade surpluses with the US. The US Supreme Court explicitly acknowledged in its absurd and costly tariff ruling that the "President" has absolute authority to do so. This is much better than tariffs! The Federal Reserve Board, under this outstanding new leadership, must become wise, think from a different perspective, and be patriotic. High interest rates put the US at an extremely unfair disadvantage, and I will never allow this to happen!
#8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 There is now a piece of data that is more interesting than how much BTC has risen.
1 BTC can already be exchanged for about 18 ounces of gold.
The BTC/gold ratio has risen to around 18.17, hitting a new high since January this year.
What does this mean?
Simply put:
Gold is rising.
BTC is also rising.
But recently, BTC has been rising faster.
In the past, people liked to treat BTC as a tech stock.
It goes up when liquidity comes, and crashes when risk rises.
Now the market is starting to look at it from a different angle.
Dollar depreciation, fiscal deficits, debt pressure.
These narratives originally belonged to gold, but are increasingly being applied to BTC.
But I still say this.
When prices rise, everyone looks like a safe-haven asset.
Only when the market really crashes do we know who can truly be a safe haven.
$BTC $XAU $BTC Trump just aggressively pushed the Fed to cut interest rates again!
He publicly called for the US to have the lowest global interest rates.
162,000 new jobs in the non-farm payroll just far exceeded expectations!
Yet he turned around and demanded further rate cuts.
The macroeconomic narrative is directly starting to twist! $ETH
Trump's latest post states that 162,000 new jobs were added in August, far surpassing market expectations, while also demanding the Fed continue to lower rates. His logic is that with stronger US credit and economic strength, the country should enjoy lower financing costs, even bluntly saying "the US should have the lowest global interest rates."
The problem is, the stronger the employment, the less favorable it usually is for market-driven rate cuts, so now there is a very clear policy expectation conflict: data leans hawkish, but Trump strongly pushes for low rates. What we really need to watch next are US Treasury yields and Fed statements. If the market starts to believe policy pressure will push rates down, BTC might actually regain liquidity expectations.
Non-farm payroll is aggressively strong, yet Trump continues to push for rate cuts, this expectation gap is quite large. $SOL
As long as yields start to turn down, the BTC drop caused by the data just now can easily be recovered!📌August Nonfarm Payrolls Far Below Expectations｜Market Reprices Collectively
9.3 Nonfarm Payrolls: Added only 22,000 jobs, far below the expected 53,000, previous value revised down by 12,000; unemployment rate at 4.3% exceeded expectations, hourly wages year-over-year 3.0% met expectations.
ADP and ISM services employment data had already signaled employment weakness in advance.
Market reaction:
10Y US Treasury yield dipped to 4.74%, dollar fell below 98.5;
September rate hike probability dropped sharply from 50% to 28%, market started pricing in a rate cut in November.

Weak nonfarm + dovish Waller resonance, short covering driving a short squeeze rally.
⚠️Employment is still positive, not a confirmed recession; the August CPI on 9.11 is the core watershed.
81,000–83,000 is the previous resistance zone, only a volume-supported hold above 83,000 counts as a reversal test, do not blindly chase the high wick.
Operation reference: pull back to 78,000–79,000 with shrinking volume to stabilize for a low long, or hold above 83,000 to go right side.

AllLanglang Analysis | Nonfarm Payrolls Shock!
BTC dives, the real show is the CPI
With the nonfarm data released, the market faces a critical moment 🔥
Tonight, the US August nonfarm payrolls increased by 162,000, far exceeding the expected 53,000, hitting a new high since March. The unemployment rate is 4.1%, and the previous two months' data were revised upward by 55,000, directly disrupting the market's original script.
Once the data came out, BTC briefly plunged below 81,000. The hot employment data indicates inflationary pressure remains, raising expectations for Fed rate hikes, putting risk assets under direct pressure.
But a closer look at the report reveals another side: job growth is concentrated in the catering and local education sectors, while the information industry is still laying off; average hourly earnings rose 3.1% year-over-year, showing no acceleration in wage inflation.
Even institutional views mention that this data may not cause the Fed to pivot sharply. Wash also stated that inflation takes priority over employment.
Nonfarm payrolls only lit the fuse; the CPI on September 11 is the real decisive factor for September rate hikes. Don't rush to judge the market; first see clearly before acting in the storm.
$BTC is sprinting to 85,000

Nonfarm payrolls at 162,000
Exceeded all economists' expectations
Unemployment rate stuck at 4.1%
With this data dropping,
Will the Fed dare to ease at the end of the month?
I think it's unlikely
But don't panic yet
Next week's CPI is the real judge
This report is at most an appetizer
My judgment is
The market will first shake based on rate hike pricing
Then adjust direction after the CPI is released
Chasing shorts now?
That's gambling on the data
I choose to sit back and watch the show
If the CPI also explodes,
That will be the real signal of a market shift

#沃勒：8月通胀决定9月是否加息 #BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ #OKX预言家：9月FOMC利率决议预测上线 Crypto just showed why chasing the first green candle can be dangerous. More than $140M in crypto shorts were liquidated as $BTC, $ETH, $XRP and $BNB pushed higher, creating a market-wide short squeeze. That explains part of the acceleration. But liquidation-driven moves and genuine spot accumulation are two very different things. A short squeeze can push price through resistance quickly. It cannot, by itself, prove that new capital is entering the market. That is why my focus is shifting from tWhy did $BTC and $ETH get slammed despite positive economic data?
$BTC $ETH
The employment data looks great, indicating the economy isn't bad, so why did Bitcoin and Ethereum plunge sharply?
The reason is actually not complicated. A hot job market means the Federal Reserve has no reason to cut interest rates and might even consider raising them further.
Once the market forms this expectation, the US dollar and Treasury yields will rise. Since crypto assets don't generate interest income, funds will flow out of crypto and into products like US Treasuries.
Additionally, there were already many long positions piled up. When the news came out, a large number of long positions triggered stop losses and liquidations in succession, causing a stampede effect that further amplified the downward trend.
A reminder: next week's CPI inflation data is another major event. If inflation remains high, the Fed will be more confident in keeping rates elevated, which is still not good news for the market.
#BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？ What does 162,000 mean?
1. This is a "comprehensively better-than-expected" report
Not only is the total far beyond expectations, private sector employment increased by 127,000 (expected 50,000), manufacturing increased by 16,000 (expected 5,000), and structurally there is no obvious weakness. Previously, weak leading indicators such as ADP's increase of only 38,000 and ISM services employment at 47.8 have been completely disproven.
2. The revision of previous values also points to an underestimated labor market
July nonfarm payrolls were sharply revised from -23,000 to +21,000, meaning the previously feared narrative of "significant employment shrinkage" has been completely overturned.
3. Waller's dovish signals were overturned by the data
When Waller gave dovish signals on Thursday, the market priced in "if employment weakens, there may be no rate hike in September." But the 162,000 data makes the reason for "no rate hike" very weak. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #HOOD收涨创年内新高，链上收入居公链第一 Nonfarm payrolls at 162,000, while the expectation was only around 55,000. As soon as the data came out, Dogecoin dropped 3.3% within 25 minutes. You can clearly see on the chart that red bar crashing down, with volume spiking to the sky, and the price sliding directly from around 0.088 to 0.084. Someone in the group asked, how can good economic news be bad news?
Actually, the logic is not hard to understand. Strong employment means the Fed has no reason to rush to cut interest rates; with the dollar and US Treasury yields supported, money is reluctant to flow into high-risk assets. Good data signals tightening liquidity, and Dogecoin took the first hit.
But I am someone who holds $DOGE as a belief; I've seen this kind of market many times. Look at the previous rally, green bars one after another pushing above 0.088, indicating that funds were already focused on this coin. When the data hit, panic sellers ran first and cleanly, which actually washed out the floating supply. The holding volume still hangs at over 80 million USDT, so the crowd hasn't left.
The US dollar interest rate thing is strong today, but if economic data turns tomorrow, the wind direction changes. Dogecoin's consensus is not in the nonfarm payrolls, but in the dog itself, in the tens of millions of wallets holding it. One hourly candlestick can't change the trend, nor can it change the belief.The market just gave us an interesting signal.
Stocks, bonds, gold, silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum all pumped together. That’s not something I’d call random.
The big shift? Expectations for a September 16 Fed rate hike dropped from nearly 70% to just above 50%.
Fed Governor Chris Waller’s dovish tone appears to have eased some pressure on markets.
My takeaway:
when rate expectations change, liquidity can quickly flow across multiple asset classes.
Markets are breathing again. 👀
$BTC $ETH #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 Everyone, the BTC to gold ratio has hit a new high. One BTC can now be exchanged for about 18.17 ounces of gold, the highest since January. The 90-day correlation between the two has also risen to the highest level since 2020, as concerns over debt expansion and declining monetary purchasing power are simultaneously affecting both assets.
But to be honest, Mi Ge says this ratio has risen more due to liquidity expectations fermenting, not because BTC itself is replacing gold's safe-haven status. The logic behind the two is different—gold is influenced by real interest rates and central bank allocations, while BTC is driven by liquidity improvement expectations and ETF buying. A short-term increase in correlation does not imply long-term substitution.
Market divergence is also increasing. Yi Lihua and Scaramucci are optimistic about the bull market, while Jiang Zhuoer completely exited near 82,050. Both bulls and bears raising their hands at this level is not a bad thing; it shows the market is still in a game, with no one-sided consensus formed. $BTC $XAU $SOL
What truly determines whether BTC can continue to outperform gold is not the macro narrative, but whether spot demand can absorb the selling pressure around 80,000 to 82,500. If ETF and spot buying can keep up, BTC's strength relative to gold can continue. If buying dries up, this ratio will have to pull back.
Above 80,000 is a dense chip area, and every step requires real money to digest. Let's watch as we go and talk again when the direction is clear. How far do you think the BTC-gold linkage can go? Let's chat in the comments. Wishing you smooth trading. #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温
Nonfarm payrolls exploded, 162,000 vs. an expected 55,000, hitting nearly 3 times the forecast.
July was still -23,000, but August jumped to 162,000, showing an absurdly strong job market. June and July were also revised up by 55,000 combined. The average monthly gain over the past 12 months was only 31,000, so this one month delivered half a year's worth of jobs.
The result is clear: the probability of a rate hike in September is maxed out. Previously, Waller signaled no hike if inflation cooled down, but with such strong nonfarm data, the hawkish stance from Washington gains confidence: hot employment → rising wages → inflation won’t come down → rate hike.
BTC, ETH, and gold are directly under pressure, dropping sharply as soon as the data came out. They were previously consolidating, waiting for direction; now the direction is clear—down.
With this data, a September rate hike is basically nailed down. The previous probability was 50%, now it’s estimated to be 70-80%. That old hawk in Washington is very hawkish; with employment this strong, he won’t dare not to hike.The baseline scenario (about 50%) is BTC fluctuating highly between $78,000 and $86,000, with only a daily close above approximately $83,300, accompanied by continuous ETF net inflows and expanding spot trading volume, giving more confidence to open the $90,000–$100,000 range. The optimistic scenario (about 25%) is that CPI is significantly below expectations, employment weakens rapidly, US Treasury yields decline, and the market shifts directly from "pause rate hikes" to trading the "next rate cut," with BTC potentially breaking through $86,000 and quickly entering the $90,000–$100,000 zone. The pessimistic scenario (about 25%) is that CPI rises again due to oil prices, tariffs, or service inflation, the market increases the probability of rate hikes, and a phase top forms between $81,000 and $86,000; support levels to watch below are $78,000, then $75,000–$76,000, and if $75,000 breaks, $71,800–$72,000 is the truly important defense line for this breakout structure, corresponding to about an 11%–12% retracement. In this case, ETH, SOL, and small- to mid-cap altcoins usually amplify BTC's decline. $BTC #新手必看：这里有你需要的一切 #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 📌BTC/gold ratio hits 18.17, a new high for the year
1 BTC can be exchanged for 18 ounces of gold, the data is striking, but do not impulsively chase the high.
Drivers: cooling rate hike expectations + weakening dollar + global debt concerns, funds treat BTC as highly elastic gold speculation, ETF inflows synchronize.
Mid-term judgment: slightly strong oscillation, sustainability is doubtful.
To solidify the digital gold logic, watch the Fed meeting results on 9.16. Only with rate cuts, a weaker dollar, and continued fiscal concerns will the ratio have room to rise further.
⚠️The 90-day correlation between BTC and gold has reached the extreme level of 2020, such high linkage is unsustainable.
If US Treasuries stabilize and funds flow back to tech stocks, BTC will give back gains relative to gold.
Operation reference: only moderately bullish if it holds above 18; do not aggressively chase if it falls back to 16-17.
Keep mid-term positions, and after a breakout, look at the 22-26 triangle target.
The market is indeed strong, but outperforming gold does not mean a one-sided perpetual rise.
#8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温
#BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？
$BTC But BTC has entered a dense supply zone between $81,000 and $86,000, and further rises must be driven by real spot demand rather than a short squeeze. The previous rise from $60,000 to $80,000 was accompanied by about $3 billion in short liquidations, with open interest subsequently dropping about 11% and funding rates remaining neutral, indicating that the leverage structure is not crowded, but also meaning most of the short squeeze momentum has been exhausted. What is more concerning is that despite BTC breaking above $81,000 again, the US spot BTC ETF still saw a slight net outflow of about $46 million in the first three trading days of September, a stark contrast to the over $2.8 billion inflow over eight consecutive days during the August breakout phase. Therefore, the current market is closer to a "price breakout attempt" rather than a confirmed new bull market #新手必看：这里有你需要的一切 #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 $BTC #August Nonfarm Payrolls at 162,000 Far Exceed Expectations, Rate Hike Bets Heat Up
$BTC $ETH $ZEC
1. Key Data Overview
August nonfarm payrolls increased by 162,000, while market expectations were only 56,000, with the actual figure nearly three times the forecast; combined revisions for June and July added 55,000 jobs.
Unemployment rate at 4.1%, in line with market expectations.
In short: The U.S. labor market's resilience far exceeds previous market assessments, with a strong rebound in employment.
2. Macro Interpretation (What Does "Rate Hike Bets Heat Up" Mean?)
1. Before the data release, the mainstream market expectation was weakening employment and the Federal Reserve starting a rate cut cycle; based on the weaker ADP small nonfarm data, funds had already priced in easing, leading to a prior rally in crypto and U.S. stocks.
2. After the release of the 162,000 nonfarm payrolls, the trading logic completely shifted:
• The possibility of a rate cut in September was basically eliminated;
• Some traders began repricing the possibility of another rate hike, which is what the headline refers to as "rate hike bets heating up";
• Direct chain reactions: the U.S. dollar index surged, U.S. Treasury yields rose, gold plunged $70 in the short term, and risk assets theoretically faced pressure.
3. Core Question: Major Negative News, Why Did the Market Rally Instead? (Three Main Reasons)
1. Short Covering (Primary Reason)
Many traders anticipated strong nonfarm payrolls and had already taken short positions before the data release.
When the negative news actually hit, the "buy the rumor, sell the fact" scenario played out: shorts chose to take profits and exit, closing short positions is equivalent to buying, and a large number of shorts exiting concentratedly brought a rapid buying wave, pushing prices up.
2. Market Divergence of Views
Some funds do not believe a single monthly nonfarm report is enough to reverse the Fed's medium- to long-term policy.
Viewpoint: August nonfarm payrolls are just a temporary pulse data; a single month of strong employment does not mean sustained hot employment afterward, so they are not in a hurry to massively short risk assets.
3. Main Players' Two-Way Shakeout, Classic Nonfarm Bull Trap (Highest Risk)
Nonfarm liquidity is poor and slippage is large; a common tactic by main players:
Step 1: Negative data triggers a quick sell-off to knock out all stop-loss orders below;
Step 2: Rapid violent rally upwards to attract retail investors outside the market to chase longs;
Step 3: After bulls enter, main players unload positions, causing a second decline to harvest long positions. One BTC now can buys about 18.1 oz of gold, the highest ratio since January. The more interesting part is how they got there together. On Bitwise's 90-day measure, BTC's correlation with gold rose above 0.5, its highest since 2020, after sitting near zero earlier this year. The latest convergence coincided with stress in the bond market: long-end Treasury yields surged, Treasury expanded liquidity-support buybacks for longer-dated debt, BTC rose 22.4% over the following week, gold added about 5#BTC兑黄金比率升至1月以来高位，强势能否延续？
BTC/gold ratio rises to the highest level since January: Can this strong momentum continue?
The BTC/gold ratio has broken above 18 again, reaching the highest level since January, indicating that Bitcoin's recent relative performance has clearly outpaced gold. Meanwhile, the US spot BTC ETF saw a net inflow of about $731 million yesterday, the largest single-day inflow since January, showing that this rally is not just a short squeeze in the futures market but is indeed driven by spot capital.
However, I believe this should not be simply interpreted as "BTC replacing gold."
After today's strong non-farm payrolls release, the logic has changed: new jobs increased by 162,000, far exceeding expectations, US Treasury yields rose rapidly, and rate hike expectations warmed up again. BTC also retreated from above $82,000. Gold was also under pressure, dropping more than 2% intraday.
Therefore, whether the BTC/gold ratio can continue to rise depends on whether BTC can continue to attract incremental capital in a high interest rate environment.
If ETF inflows continue, BTC holds near $80,000, and gold remains suppressed by real interest rates, then the ratio still has room to rise; conversely, if after strong non-farm payrolls the CPI again exceeds expectations and rates continue to rise, BTC itself will find it difficult to remain unaffected.
What is most worth watching now is not how high the ratio has risen, but whether capital is truly starting to treat BTC as "digital gold," or if this is just a phase of liquidity-driven outperformance.Just as the non-farm payrolls were released, employment data exploded, and the market frantically priced in Fed rate hikes, $BTC broke through the 80,000 mark. But then Trump immediately came out to oppose the situation. Clearly, employment data exceeded everyone's expectations, and according to market logic, this is evidence supporting high interest rates or even rate hikes. But Trump's logic is completely different: strong employment means strong U.S. credit, a strong country should have lower interest rates, and to achieve the world's lowest rates, the Fed must cut rates! He even made bold statements: If rates don't fall, I will stop trading with countries with trade surpluses with the U.S., and the Supreme Court has already recognized the president's authority. He demanded the Fed "be a patriot for once." Now the big show is unfolding: ✅ On the economic data front: Nonfarm payrolls are off the charts, supporting hawks, market rate hike probability has surged to 60%, negatively affecting crypto risk assets ✅. On the White House political front: Trump is applying strong pressure, aggressively pushing the Fed to cut rates, planting the illusion of easing in the market. On one side, cold employment data pushes rates upward; On the other, the president is openly pressuring, using the trade stick to force rates downward. The Fed's independence is now under scorch. This is also the root cause of tonight's market volatility and tug-of-war. The market just dropped because of hawkish nonfarm payroll signals, and Trump's warnings injected a hint of rate cut into the market, with bulls and bears each holding a script for battle. The market is very divided now: traders are watching the nonfarm payroll data, worried about a comeback in inflation; But he didn't dare completely ignore the confessionAugust nonfarm payrolls completely smashed expectations.
An increase of 162,000 people, with market expectations below 60,000, and even the most optimistic institutions only dared to forecast 80,000. The previous two months were revised upward by a total of 55,000 — July was revised from -23,000 to +21,000, and June from +20,000 to +31,000. This means the previous two months were "thought to be bad, but actually okay," while this month was a "direct slap in the face."
Once the data was released, CME showed the probability of a September rate hike jumped from 50% directly to over 60%, the dollar strengthened, and gold and Bitcoin responded by falling.
Waller had just said the day before: if inflation continues to cool, he supports no hike; if data is strong, he would consider a rate hike. When he spoke, the probability of a hike was still around 50%, but the nonfarm payrolls directly pushed this judgment toward "stronger."
Bank of America put it bluntly: nonfarm payrolls are the "appetizer," next Friday's CPI is the "main course," and they still maintain the judgment of a September rate hike. Wells Fargo was also stunned — as the most optimistic mainstream investment bank beforehand, their forecast of 80,000 was less than half the actual value.
Regarding Bitcoin $BTC, the 80,000 level was already unstable, and the nonfarm payrolls hammered the short-term direction toward "rising rate hike expectations." Next Wednesday's CPI is the last card before the September 16 FOMC meeting; if inflation also strengthens, a September rate hike is nailed down. Let's first see how the CPI report turns out.
#8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 Nonfarm payrolls in August far exceed expectations at 162,000, rate hike bets heat up. The nonfarm data completely disrupts the rate cut narrative: the real risk now is "rate hikes again"
The US added 162,000 nonfarm jobs in August, far exceeding the market expectation of about 56,000; more importantly, June and July were revised upward by a total of 55,000, and the unemployment rate remains at 4.1%. This means the previously traded "rapid employment deterioration" logic has been significantly weakened.
But I believe the real focus is not the 162,000 figure itself, but that it gives the Federal Reserve greater policy space. Employment has not collapsed, and inflationary pressures still exist, so the Fed has no need to rush to turn dovish just to support the economy. After the data release, the market's pricing for a 25BP rate hike in September briefly rose to about 59%, and US Treasury yields rose accordingly.
For BTC and risk assets, this is not a comfortable combination: strong employment → rate cut expectations retreat → rate hike probability rises → real interest rate expectations increase → liquidity asset valuations come under pressure.
However, the nonfarm data is not the final verdict. The next card that will truly decide the September direction is inflation data. If CPI remains stubborn, the "rate hike trade" may further strengthen; conversely, if inflation cools significantly, the impact of strong nonfarm data will be partially offset.
So now the market has shifted from "will the economy recession?" to another question:
The US economy is so resilient, does the Federal Reserve still need to keep pressing the brakes? $BTC Brothers, ZRO has shown obvious strength, but currently it looks more like a capital/technical anomaly rather than a new fundamental catalyst.
As of the evening data on September 3, ZRO is around $1.09–1.11, with a 24h increase of about +6% to 10%; 24h trading volume is about $61M, approximately 22% higher than the average daily level over the past 30 days. During the same period, the broader market's increase was significantly smaller, so this is a relatively clear independent strength.
I specifically checked whether this wave of increase corresponds to new partnerships, Fee Switch, buyback changes, or major new developments in Zero/ATLAS, and currently found no new hard catalysts. At this stage, the market is still repricing the previously existing logic: Zero L1 + ATLAS institutional trading infrastructure + Stargate revenue entering the ZRO buyback system. LayerZero officially disclosed that Zero targets 24/7 capital markets, institutional clearing, and stablecoin payments, with DTCC, ICE, Citadel Securities, Tether, Google Cloud, etc. among its initial partners.SEPTEMBER COULD BRING MORE VOLATILITY
Historically, September has been a tough month for Bitcoin, with $BTC averaging around a 2.95% decline.
This year, rising 10Y Treasury yields and expectations for higher rates could add more pressure.
Friday’s US jobs report may be the next major catalyst, while options positioning shows notable downside protection around $68K to $75K.
Watching $BTC and $ETH closely.
#AugPayrollsBeat #BTCGoldRatioHigh #OKXOutcomeLeagueFOMCNon-farm payroll data will be released tomorrow
Both $BTC and $ETH surged significantly, market sentiment is high
Before any news release, the market tends to consume expectations in advance
There will be another small rally when tomorrow's news is announced
I will choose to short at the high after tomorrow's news release because the truly core heavy news will be released mid-month. Once the momentum from the non-farm data fades, the market will fall into panic again. Tonight's market has confused many people.
Non-farm payrolls came in at 162,000, far exceeding the expected 56,000, directly off the charts. The probability of a rate hike soared on the spot, gold plunged 2%, Bitcoin fell below 80,000, and the whole market was wailing. So what happened? SanDisk didn't fall but rose instead, pulling up to 1622 in one move, up 4.3%, and it led the entire storage sector higher.
Do you think the market has gone crazy or the logic has changed?
I've thought it over, and it's actually not that mysterious. First, this rally in SanDisk is a sector-wide trend, not just a lucky break for one stock; Micron, Seagate, and Western Digital are all rising, clearly showing capital piling into AI storage; second, no matter how strong the non-farm data is, it can't suppress SanDisk's own fundamentals— the AI storage super cycle is right there, with long-term contracts locking volume, and institutional target prices getting higher and higher; the macro noise can't shake its narrative at all; third, the rate hike expectations have already been speculated back and forth several times, so when the bad news actually lands, it turns into the "boot dropping" moment, and speculative funds immediately flip to go long.
In short, the market isn't ignoring the non-farm data, but it values whose fundamentals can withstand the non-farm data more. SanDisk's move today is capital voting with its feet: no matter how strong the data is, it can't beat the orders for AI storage.Nonfarm payrolls settle the matter? 162,000 employment data complicates the September interest rate script completely
August nonfarm data released, market expectations were directly shattered.
US added 162,000 nonfarm jobs, far exceeding the market expectation of about 56,000; unemployment rate remained at 4.1%, the job market did not show the rapid deterioration previously feared by the market.
The greatest significance of this data is not to prove the economy is "overheating," but to weaken the market's previous betting logic:
Weakening employment → Fed rate cuts → Risk assets rise
This trading chain is now clearly broken.
But note, nonfarm payrolls are not the final answer.
What really decides the September FOMC is the next key inflation data — CPI.
If CPI continues to show inflation stickiness:
Strong employment + high inflation
→ Rate hike expectations further heat up
→ USD and US Treasuries strengthen
→ BTC and high-valuation assets come under pressure.
If CPI cools significantly:
Rate hike trades may quickly recede, the market re-trades easing expectations, and risk assets may also see recovery.
For BTC, short-term pressure still exists. $80,000 has become a key psychological level again, with focus below on the $75,000–$77,000 range.
This round of market movement is no longer simply about capital inflows, but about the game of Fed policy path.
Nonfarm payrolls change market expectations, CPI determines the final direction. This is not a bull-bear switch, but a re-pricing of the interest rate script. $BTC #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 Nonfarm payrolls reversed, BTC faces short-term pressure
August nonfarm payrolls at 162,000 directly shattered market expectations, reigniting September rate hike bets, putting short-term pressure on BTC.
The market was originally waiting for cooling in employment, but nonfarm payrolls not only didn't decline, they far exceeded expectations.
This breaks the previous logic of "weaker employment → looser policy," at least in the short term.
If the dollar and US Treasury yields continue to rise, both BTC and gold will suffer.
But there's no need to be outright bearish yet.
Because nonfarm payrolls are just the first card; the real main course is next week's CPI.
If CPI remains high, September rate hike expectations may further intensify, increasing pressure on BTC.
But if CPI unexpectedly cools, market bets on rate hikes may ease again.
Nonfarm payrolls have reversed; can CPI reverse back?
Don't rush in the short term; wait for CPI to provide the answer before deciding if this BTC pullback is an opportunity.
The market never follows the script.
If the data is wrong, accept it; if the logic changes, follow it. #8月非农16.2万远超预期，加息押注升温 $BTC The August non-farm payrolls have finally landed, and the result is not just "slightly stronger" but completely contradicts the market's previous narrative of cooling employment. The US added 162,000 non-farm jobs in August, nearly three times the market expectation of 56,000, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 4.1%. More importantly, the July data was revised up from -23,000 to +21,000, and the combined revisions for June and July added another 55,000 jobs. In other words, much of what the market had interpreted as a "sudden deterioration in employment" has been corrected. This is very critical for the Fed's hawkish framework. Since Jackson Hole, the market has been asking: Inflation remains high, but will employment weaken enough to make the Fed hesitant to continue tightening? At least judging from the August non-farm payrolls, the answer leans toward "no." Employment has not collapsed; instead, it has shown renewed resilience. Moreover, this round of job gains is not supported by a single industry alone: food services added 59,000 jobs, local government education added 42,000, and manufacturing added 16,000. However, this report is not entirely "overheated." Average hourly earnings rose 0.3% month-over-month and 3.1% year-over-year, slightly above expectations but down from 3.2% in July, indicating that while employment numbers are strong, wages have not simultaneously spiraled out of control. This is also why I am not directly calling for a "sure rate hike in September." After the data release, the market's pricing for a 25 basis point rate hike in September quickly rose from about 52% before the report to 59%, then further to about 65%; the 2-year US Treasury yield briefly rose to 4.39%, and the 10-year yield rose to about 4
