US Non-Farm Payroll/NFP: Report that moves the market —
If you’re trading crypto, forex, gold, or indices and still ignoring US Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) — you’re missing one of the strongest market-moving events every month.
📊 What is NFP?
NFP shows how many new jobs were added in the US economy (excluding farms, government, and a few others). It reflects the real strength of the US economy, which directly impacts USD, interest rate expectations, and global risk sentiment.
📈 Why NFP matters to the market?
Strong NFP (more jobs than expected)
• USD strengthens
• Gold & BTC often drop
• Risk assets face pressure
Weak NFP (fewer jobs or job losses)
• USD weakens
• Gold & BTC often pump
• Risk-on sentiment increases
🔸Volatility is guaranteed.
During NFP release, spreads widen, slippage increases, and price can move fast in both directions.
Don’t gamble on the number. Let the market react first, then trade the direction with volume & structure.
Remember: NFP doesn’t just move charts — it shifts expectations about Federal Reserve policy, which affects every market globally, trade smart, respect news, let probability do the work.
