Big Week Ahead = Expect Wild Moves
This is not a week for lazy traders.
Key macro data drops almost every trading day, and volatility will show up whether you’re positioned or not. Crypto will react — directly or indirectly.
👀 What to Watch Closely
📅 Tuesday (Dec 16)
• Unemployment Rate
• Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP)
👉 This reveals the real strength of the job market.
Strong jobs = risk-on delayed
Weak jobs = rate-cut narrative heats up
📅 Thursday (Dec 18)
• CPI (Inflation Data)
• Initial Jobless Claims
👉 This is the main trigger day.
Inflation + jobs together decide:
Dollar strength
Bond yields
Crypto risk appetite
Expect sharp moves in BTC, ETH & high-beta alts.
📅 Friday (Dec 19)
• Bank of Japan Interest Rate Decision
👉 Don’t sleep on this.
BOJ policy impacts global liquidity, yen carry trades, and risk assets worldwide — crypto included.
⚠️ Trader Reminder
Volatility ≠ direction
Fakeouts likely before real moves
Leverage carefully
Protect capital first, profits second
📌 Plan your entries, define your risk, and don’t chase candles.
Stay sharp
