Nothing 🍔.. but next Wednesday we have PPI, the inflation data that came in hot last month (expected: 0.2%; actual: 0.9%) and likely killed our chances of a 50-bps rate cut.
I was gonna say…you think we are getting a rate cut this month?? I always assumed no more than 25 basis points if it is happening

You going long on BTC/ETH tonight?
I’m eyeing PPI/CPI next Wednesday/Thursday for my first play of the month, but I typically trade the momentum of data release days as it’s happening - 8:30am EST sharp.

How are you planning on playing the jobs report?
If the numbers are good, short the pump (after a *stopping-volume candle, marking the high for the week)
If the numbers come in hot, long the flush (after a *stopping-volume candle, marking the low for the week)

*A vector candle whose wick is longer than its body, indicating reversal - see Trader’s Reality Main indicator on TradingView

Market maker often uses Friday morning data to trap longs (data is good) or shorts (data is hot) with explosive volume to entice traders to jump in, only for price to reverse.

Take a look at what happened during last Friday’s Core PCE release:
