The US ADP employment data for November just came out, and it stunned the market—down by 32,000, the worst performance in over two years.
As soon as the news broke, traders immediately adjusted their expectations, with the probability of a rate cut in December soaring to nearly 90%. Honestly, given the current situation, it’s hard for the Fed not to cut rates.
The most direct beneficiaries? The crypto market has already voted with its feet. Bitcoin surged over 4% in a single day, and Ethereum jumped more than 3%, with capital reacting faster than anyone else.
But let’s be clear: a large part of this rally is front-running expectations of a rate cut. When the actual event happens, you need to watch out for the old “buy the rumor, sell the news” play.
For now, keep a close eye on key resistance levels: can Bitcoin hold the $92,000 mark? Is there a chance for Ethereum to break through $3,200? These two levels will determine the short-term direction.
My advice is simple—don’t rush to chase the highs. It’s more cost-effective to wait for the market sentiment to cool off and look for buying opportunities at lower levels. If you really want to catch the rhythm, keep an eye on how upcoming macro data plays out.

Once again it's the same old trick of front-running expectations. When the real news actually drops, the market tanks—seen it too many times.
92k won't hold; a pullback is inevitable sooner or later. Don't let this rally blind you.
Wait, the data is this bad and it's still going up? The capital must be going crazy.
Buying the dip is the way to go. Chasing the top now just makes you a bag holder.
Is this really all the power rate cut expectations have? Doesn't feel as strong as I imagined.

The rate cut expectations have really gone crazy this time, but I still think chasing the highs just makes you a bag holder.
Wait, here's the question: can $92,000 really hold?
Hey, seriously, in this kind of market, buying the dip is the way to go.

90% probability of a rate cut? Now they're already hyping up the concept. Until the shoe actually drops, it's all just talk on paper. Let's wait for the real data to come out before saying anything.

Same old trick: hype up a rate cut expectation for a rally, then dump when it actually happens.

Same old trick again: hype up the rate cut expectations, then dump when it actually happens. The crypto world always plays like this.
Can 92K really hold? Feels a bit shaky.
Chasing the top isn’t for me. Isn’t it better to wait until the hype dies down before making a move?
"Buy the rumor, sell the news" is always true, yet there are always people chasing...
32,000 fewer people—this data is really underwhelming, but it might be an opportunity for the crypto market.
Blind box opener thinks this round of gains feels a bit shaky, better wait and see what happens next.
90% probability of a rate cut—traders really outplay the forecasters.

nah the market's already pricing in the entire rate cut cycle... btc at 92k is just noise until we see actual macro data. the real play happens when everyone stops watching feeds lol
