At the beginning of the year, the market is often in a relatively quiet trading phase, with weak liquidity being the norm. However, the release of these key data points in the coming days remains worth paying attention to—

On Tuesday at 03:00 AM, the Federal Reserve meeting minutes will reveal the central bank's latest assessment of the current economic situation. Then on Wednesday at 21:30, the initial jobless claims report will give us insight into the strength of the labor market. By Friday at 22:45, the final US December S&P Global Manufacturing PMI will be released, an indicator that reflects the true state of manufacturing sector health.

Although these three data points seem independent, together they outline the contours of the US economy—and directly influence subsequent market sentiment and asset allocation directions. In a context of limited liquidity, the release of these important economic data often becomes a turning point for the market.

Read the FOMC minutes at 3 a.m.? Forget it, I'll just go back to sleep. Anyway, waking up would just mean cutting losses.

Wait, another Fed minutes at 3 a.m.? There's no way I can get a good sleep this week.

Getting up at 3 a.m. to review the minutes? I’ve calculated it and might as well keep sleeping; anyway, before the big data comes out, it's all guesswork. Waiting for Wednesday’s unemployment benefit data is the real focus, everything else is just clouds, that’s what will determine the Fed’s next move. Weak liquidity means that any small fluctuation can cause a sell-off. This week, the economic data might really mess things up. PMI again? I see manufacturing prosperity as just a reference; the key is still the policy shift. I’m already tired of this wave of operations at the beginning of the year. Hopefully, there will be some different results.

The Federal Reserve minutes at 3 a.m., time to stay up again. This is the real thrill. Once the unemployment data is out, bulls and bears can die as they will. Anyway, liquidity is so poor. The PMI final value is the key. If the manufacturing sector doesn't perform well, the coming days will be tough. Wait, let's see who can make money this week. Anyway, I’ve leveled out. These three data points hitting together, no wonder the beginning of the year was so strange. Everyone was just waiting to be harvested. It's really just betting on the central bank's stance; everything else is just fluff. There might be big moves before the weekend. Have you stocked up on ammunition, everyone?

Same old routine, manipulating the market with data, getting up at 3 a.m. to watch the Federal Reserve minutes? I’d rather sleep and wait for the real deal on Friday night.

Weak liquidity is a good opportunity for big players to accumulate. By the time these data are released and retail investors are still hesitating whether to buy or not, large on-chain addresses will have already been stealthily positioned.
