January 7th marks the beginning of a period dense with macroeconomic data releases. Australia’s CPI and Eurozone inflation data lead the way, followed closely by the US ADP employment report, manufacturing PMI, and EIA crude oil inventories—plus speeches from Federal Reserve officials interspersed throughout. The volatility in the crypto markets can be said to be fully activated.

These types of data releases have always been a magnifying glass for market movements. Mainstream cryptocurrencies like $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL are especially prone to being negatively impacted by macroeconomic expectations. A reminder to traders: on days of intense market volatility, risk management cannot be compromised. Set stop-loss orders, reduce positions—don’t gamble against the market.

The short-term direction of Bitcoin and Ethereum largely depends on the market sentiment generated by these data releases. Doing your homework and controlling leverage are the right ways to survive in the long run.

BTC-1.73%

ETH-2.79%

SOL-1.46%

Data Day is like a slaughterhouse for the market; we retail investors need to be careful. BTC is about to be driven below again, I've seen this trick many times. Stop loss, stop loss, how many times have I heard that, but I just can't seem to execute it.

Intensive data week truly is a meat grinder, I've already cut losses twice. It's the same old story, even on data day it still ends up liquidating. In the face of data, there's no technical analysis, only getting beaten up. This week is most likely a game of chance, seeing who admits defeat first. On CPI day, I just went to sleep, and when I woke up I checked the results. Anyway, participating is pointless.

Data days are basically big signal lights for volatility, everyone please don't be reckless, avoid using leverage if possible. --- Here we go again, every time during data-heavy periods the market takes a brutal hit, I’ve just given up and laid low. --- Stop-loss is easy to talk about but hard to implement, who’s willing to cut losses when prices really fall? As a result, it gets knocked out in the opposite direction. --- Honestly, instead of analyzing all those data, it’s better to just see how the Fed buddy is feeling today, haha. --- I just want to ask, has anyone ever not been liquidated on data days? Anyway, I haven’t seen it happen. --- Controlling leverage is indeed the right way, but most people simply can’t do it, I am living proof of that.

Data day again messing with the mentality, let's see how BTC gets knocked out in the opposite direction --- Another wave of macro data bombardment, this time players need to be careful, leverage can really be deadly --- No matter how volatile it is, managing risk is the key, don’t gamble against the market --- Every time there’s a data-intensive period, it’s a harvest day for the leeks, I just watch quietly --- Stop-loss is easy to say but hard to do, how many people still hold on to their positions --- Saying anything is useless, it mainly depends on how the Federal Reserve signals --- CPI is here, so what? BTC still does its own thing, anyway I’m already bankrupt --- Reduce positions? Where do I still have positions to reduce, I already went all-in long ago

Another data dump day, and I, a small retail investor, am just waiting to be harvested. --- Once macro data is released, the sound of leveraged liquidations never stops. Luckily, I learned my lesson early. --- Honestly, days like this are the easiest to fall into traps. Betting against the trend and smashing it, stop-loss orders can't even save you. --- Risk management, stop-loss, reducing positions... It's easy to talk about, but when it comes to the critical moment, who isn't all-in? --- The volatility on data days is incredible. Do I have to pay tuition again this year?
