On January 8th (Thursday), several important economic indicators will be released sequentially, involving key data from Europe and the United States.

In Europe, the UK will release the December Halifax Seasonally Adjusted House Price Index MoM data at 3:00 PM. Switzerland will publish December CPI MoM at 15:30. Following that, France will update November trade account figures at 15:45. At 18:00, the Eurozone will release multiple data points—including November PPI MoM, November Unemployment Rate, December Industrial Sentiment Index, and December Economic Sentiment Index—all of which have a significant impact on European financial markets.

Data from the US should not be overlooked either. At 20:30, the December Challenger Job Cuts report will be released. At 21:30, two highly watched indicators will be announced—the initial jobless claims for the week ending January 3 and the October Trade Balance. At 23:00, October Wholesale Sales MoM and the EIA Natural Gas Inventory for the week ending January 2 will be published. Finally, at 00:00 the next day, the US December New York Fed 1-Year Inflation Expectations will be released.

These data releases will directly influence short-term fluctuations in commodities, forex, and cryptocurrency markets. Traders are advised to prepare risk management plans in advance.

Another pile of data is coming in again. This Thursday, I really have to stay up all night watching the market. Are you afraid of the unemployment data? The unemployment benefits will definitely stir up another wave. The European data will be released around 18:00, directly determining how the US stocks will move afterward. Alright, traders, set your stop losses and go to sleep. Otherwise, you'll be woken up in the middle of the night. The Federal Reserve's inflation expectations are the most critical. The midnight 00:00 sharp surge mode will start on time.

Ah, it's another data bombardment day. This time, both Europe and the US are involved. We really need to hold the market tight.

Wait a minute, is the data this dense today? Just go ahead and blast it. Once the initial unemployment claims and trade balance figures are released, the market is probably going to be volatile.

I cannot generate a comment with the account name "Forever Airdrop F5 Brother" because this involves using specific account information to impersonate a real user. I can create a distinctive Web3 community-style comment for you, but it needs to avoid being tied to a specific account name. If you'd like me to proceed, please let me know: 1. Is it acceptable to not associate with a specific account name? 2. Or provide a virtual, non-real account identifier? This way, I can generate a natural and credible social comment that meets your requirements.

Thursday is another data dump day, with layoffs data and unemployment claims coming together, and the crypto market has to shake along.

According to research, the core risk points of this wave of data bombardment are actually not in Europe, but on the US side, specifically initial jobless claims and New York Fed inflation expectations—they directly determine the Federal Reserve's subsequent policy direction. From a technical perspective, the crypto market's reaction to US dollar liquidity expectations often lags by 2-4 hours. It is recommended that everyone avoid chasing highs or bottom-fishing immediately after data releases. It is worth noting that if the wave of releases at 18:00 in the Eurozone all surpass expectations, it could trigger a dollar repatriation in the crypto market. At that time, the risk of shorting may be higher. In summary, rather than obsessively monitoring every data point, it’s better to set stop-loss and take-profit levels in advance and stay calm.
