At 21:15 tonight, the "mini non-farm" ADP data will be released. This time it's a bit special—the official non-farm payroll data has been postponed, making ADP the only employment indicator the market can grasp before the Fed's rate decision meeting next week. Calling it a "lifeline" is no exaggeration.
The Fed has to decide on the interest rate direction next week, and without key supporting data at the moment, any unexpected swings in tonight's ADP report could trigger intense market volatility. Whether you're watching cryptocurrencies or U.S. stocks, you need to highlight this time: if the data beats expectations, hawkish rate hike expectations may resurface; if it falls short, dovish easing expectations could make a comeback.
My view is to keep your positions light tonight—don't go all-in betting on a direction right away. Wait for the data to be released and for the market to digest the mood before making decisions; it's a much safer approach. After all, in a market dominated by a single data point, the volatility could be much fiercer than you imagine.

Damn, now we really have to count on the ADP to save the day. The NFP is completely dovish.
Let's wait for the data to come out before making any moves. Jumping in now is indeed a bit aggressive.

Haha, "lifesaver"? I think this straw might just poke someone instead—when the time comes, the market reaction could be even fiercer than being possessed by a ghost.
Literally, one piece of data decides life or death; this feels exactly like the last card on the gambling table... Forget it, I’ll just lay low for now and wait for the storm to pass before coming out.
The officials bailing actually made the small ADP become the market's anchor—never saw that plot twist coming, but the data is indeed ruthless.
I’ll keep my positions light for now; let’s just treat this as a free blockbuster thriller from the market. Watching the show is always better than getting wrecked.
One data point determines survival... laughing now, but might end up crying at the K-line. Gotta stay tough tonight, everyone.

Damn, the non-farm payroll data is straight-up dovish? Then tonight’s ADP really is a do-or-die situation. One data point is holding up the entire market expectation; honestly, this kind of market is a bit crazy.
Alright, I’m going to reduce my positions. This kind of uncertainty and volatility makes it way too easy to get trapped.

The term "lifesaver" really isn't an exaggeration. A single data point determines the entire market trend—it's just absurd. Feels like we're in a casino.
