There are quite a few key events on January 9th worth paying close attention to.

At 8:30 AM Eastern Time (21:30 Beijing Time), the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the December unemployment rate and non-farm payroll data. These two indicators are very important, directly reflecting the current state of the U.S. economy and having a significant impact on the Federal Reserve's subsequent interest rate decisions. Good or bad data could trigger intense market volatility.

At 10:00 AM (Eastern Time), the U.S. Supreme Court will rule on the legality of Trump's tariff policies. If the court finds the tariffs illegal, there could be substantial refunds later on, but such lawsuits typically take years to resolve case by case and do not cause immediate cash flow shocks. The impact on market expectations should not be underestimated either.

In the afternoon, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will deliver a speech at 12:45 PM ET, and Trump will speak at 9:00 PM ET. The statements from these two high-level officials could serve as turning points for market sentiment.

In summary, January 9th is a period prone to market fluctuations, and traders should be prepared.

It's another high-risk day, with a bunch of events packed into the 9th. Non-farm payroll data is already prone to causing a sell-off, and with a court ruling and two big figures making statements, it's wise to prepare stop-losses.

January 9th seems to be a day to keep your eyes wide open, with non-farm payroll data, tariff rulings, and speeches from two big figures all happening on the same day—definitely a market bombshell day.

ngl, if you're not front-running that nfp data with proper mempool analysis, you're just leaving money on the table tbh. the volatility on jan 9 is predictable—empirically speaking, major economic releases create inefficient gas dynamics that technically superior traders exploit. most ppl don't even analyze the priority fee differentials during fed events, actually. amateur hour

Damn, the market on January 9th is probably going to explode. Non-farm payroll data and Trump's speech are coming. Quickly set your stop-losses, everyone.

Medical records show that on the 9th, you really need to be extra vigilant... Regarding unemployment data, which is the most direct clinical indicator, the Federal Reserve's actions depend entirely on it. As for the high court tariff case, I have to be honest — legal proceedings usually take three to five years to see results, so short-term liquidity shocks are actually not significant, and market reactions are often exaggerated. What truly warrants re-examination are the two speeches in the afternoon, one after the other — Besent and Trump. Even changing one word in their wording could trigger emotional fluctuations... It is recommended to regularly review the candlestick rhythm and avoid being caught by false signals.
