1. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP)

Definition

Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) measure the number of new jobs (excluding the agricultural sector) added in a month.

Preliminary Analysis & Interpretation

Consensus (135K), Forecast (100K) < Previous (151K).

Indicates a weakening U.S. labor market.

Could strengthen speculation that the Fed may adopt a more dovish stance (potential rate cuts sooner than expected).

Potential Impact on DXY & BTC

DXY: Negative/Bearish.

BTC: Positive/Bullish.

Final Thought

Higher-than-expected NFP → Strong economy → Fed may stay hawkish → Bullish DXY, Bearish BTC.

Lower-than-expected NFP → Weakening economy → Fed may turn dovish → Bearish DXY, Bullish BTC.

2. Unemployment Rate

Definition

The Unemployment Rate measures the percentage of the labor force that is unemployed and actively seeking jobs.

Preliminary Analysis & Interpretation

Consensus (4.1%), Forecast (4.2%) ≥ Previous (4.1%).

Suggests a stable labor market.

A rise to 4.2% could increase the likelihood of rate cuts.

Potential Impact on DXY & BTC

DXY: Neutral - Bearish.

BTC: Neutral - Bullish.

Final Thought

Unemployment Rate ≥ 4.2% → Weakening economy → Fed may turn dovish → Bearish DXY, Bullish BTC.

Unemployment Rate < 4.1% → Strong economy → Fed may stay hawkish → Bullish DXY, Bearish BTC.
