On Non-Farm Night, instead of guessing the data trend, it's better to precisely lock in your positions.



The first Non-Farm Payrolls report of 2026 is about to be released—expected to add 60,000 jobs, compared to the previous 64,000. What is hidden behind this data? What is the market betting on? Essentially, it’s a collective expectation of an interest rate cut cycle.

But here’s the interesting part. Last Wednesday’s ADP non-farm data clearly favored the bulls. Logically, it should have been a bullish signal. What happened instead? The market reversed and dumped, plunging sharply at one point. Why is that?

The answer hits hard: the big players are unloading at high levels. What looks like a rebound is actually a harvesting game—they push prices up, retail follow, then it’s a cliff dive. The market no longer has patience to play the slow game.

So tonight’s trading logic is simple: **Don’t chase the rally, scale in gradually**.

**Specific positions**:
- BTC in the 91,500-92,000 range, place orders in batches
- ETH between 3,160-3,180, also enter gradually

Whether the non-farm data ultimately turns out bullish or bearish, a wave of intense emotional volatility is highly likely in the short term. But the direction I see ahead is clear—I believe BTC’s final target points toward the downside space around 88,600-88,000, and ETH may break below 3,000.

Key insight: **In data-driven markets, emotions are always more valuable than the data itself**. When everyone is waiting for data to break through, that’s often the best moment for a counterattack.

I’ve already provided the positions; now it’s up to you—continue to wait and see, or join me in taking real action. The answer will be revealed tonight.
BTC-0.33%
ETH-0.07%

Another feast of cutting leeks, the main force is really playing it well. Retail investors follow the trend and just wait to be cut, I'll wait until a breakdown to decide. Rising prices and not chasing? I've heard this a hundred times, let's see who can really do it. Non-farm payroll data? Just a facade of sentiment, the real knife is behind the scenes. Is 88,000 the bottom? That's a bit optimistic, I think it needs to go even lower.

From the perspective of computing power returns, now is indeed a good time to buy the dip. In sentiment-driven markets like non-farm payrolls, it's often the perfect moment for contrarian plays.

Uh, it's the same old story. I've heard the high-level dump routine countless times, but the result is always the opposite. Before the main force cuts the leeks, they need to make you see hope first, right? Placing orders in batches sounds good, but when it comes to the actual position, will it drop below again?

High-level dumping like this, retail investors will never be able to compete. It's better to honestly accumulate in batches.

Don't chase after the rise, I give up on this wave. I'm just worried retail investors will get trapped again. The main force's move is really clever; positive data actually causes a sell-off. Why is it so easy to be harvested? I've noted the 88600 level, waiting to buy in. Emotions are more valuable than data—this really hits home. It's always like this, getting cut again and again. Dividing the deployment into batches is the right move; don't go all in at once.
