#USJobsData More important than any chart
If you are trading cryptocurrencies in January and February, understand this well:
Charts alone will not save you.
Liquidity, volatility, and market direction are affected by macroeconomic events in the United States. Most fakeouts, traps, and real trends begin around this time.
📌 January - Concentration Month
Markets consolidate before the actual moves happen, which is why price movement often appears disorganized and misleading.
🔹 US Jobs Report (NFP) - January 9, 2026
Strong jobs = Strong US Dollar ← Pressure on cryptocurrencies.
Weak jobs = Temporary recoveries.
🔹 US Consumer Price Index (Inflation Data) - January 13, 2026
The biggest driver of volatility. The Consumer Price Index affects expectations for interest rate cuts or delays. Cryptocurrencies react quickly and strongly here.
🔹 Federal Open Market Committee Meeting - January 27-28, 2026
There is no "extraordinary Federal Reserve meeting in January".
Markets spend most of January preparing for this decision - expect slow volatility, sudden drops, and false confidence along the way.
📌 February - Confirmation Month
This is where the narratives of January are validated or debunked.
🔹 US Jobs Report (January Data) - February 6, 2026
The first real test of reality. Many trends either continue or completely fail here.
🔹 US Consumer Price Index (January Inflation) - February 11, 2026
Confirms whether January's moves are justified - or just noise.
🔹 Minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee Meeting - February 18, 2026
Not a decision on interest rates, but the tone is important. A surprising hawkish or dovish stance could shake cryptocurrencies significantly.
🧠 Why is this important?
• Cryptocurrencies do not move randomly
• Liquidity expectations affect price
• Jobs, inflation, and Federal Reserve policy control liquidity
Ignore macroeconomic data and you will continue to describe the moves as "manipulation" - while they were actually predictable.
Monitor the data first.
Charts second.
Emotions finally.
Stay alert.
