There's big news coming from the US—the ADP private employment data completely missed expectations.
First, let's look at the numbers: The market originally expected an increase of 10,000 jobs, but the actual result was a decrease of 32,000. That's a huge gap.
There are two signals hidden behind these numbers:
**The labor market slammed on the brakes** Companies' willingness to hire has clearly cooled off. Negative growth in private sector employment indicates that labor demand is tightening, and the chill in economic vitality has now spread to the employment front.
**Rate cut expectations ignited instantly** Weak data has put pressure on the Fed ahead of its December policy meeting. Market bets on easing policies have surged—which could be a signal for risk assets.
Employment data has always been an economic thermometer, and this sudden drop in temperature is worth paying close attention to.

Wait, the ADP numbers are this bad? Down by 32,000? This drop in expectations for interest rate cuts is really about to take off, risk assets must be ecstatic.

Wait, ADP just crashed—does this imply that a rate cut is really coming? The whales probably knew in advance; no wonder they’re buying the dip on ETH.

A reduction of 32,000? Now the Fed will have to cut interest rates, and risk assets are about to take off.

As soon as the employment data shows negative growth, rate cut expectations will skyrocket, and this wave of risk assets is about to take off. It also makes sense now that the whales are increasing their holdings.

Damn, ADP tanked directly, and now they're hyping up rate cuts again. Is this round going to fleece retail investors once more?
