⚠️🚨 MARKETS ON HIGH ALERT — AND IT’S NOT THE FED 👀
Everyone’s calling today a “Fed report”…
Let’s clear the noise 👇
❌ NO Fed policy decision today
✅ YES — a powerful U.S. data drop at 8:30 AM ET that can still move stocks, crypto & risk assets hard, especially in thin year-end liquidity.
🔥 What REALLY matters today:
📌 Initial Jobless Claims (8:30 AM ET)
This is the market mover. A real-time pulse of the U.S. labor market.
• Lower claims ➝ economy strong ➝ risk-on reactions possible
• Higher claims ➝ slowdown fears ➝ volatility spikes fast
📌 MBA Mortgage Applications Index
A sneak peek into housing demand and rate sensitivity — crucial with rates still elevated.
📌 Positioning & Futures Flow (S&P 500 / Nasdaq)
Not a report, but extremely important today. Shows where smart money is leaning into year-end.
⚠️ Why volatility risk is ELEVATED today:
• Final major U.S. data release of 2025
• Extremely low liquidity
• Even “average” data can trigger outsized moves & fake breakouts
💡 Trader mindset for today:
• Don’t over-leverage
• Beware of liquidity traps
• Let the data print — then react
📊 Big question:
Do we flip risk-on or risk-off after the data?
