Strong Employment: Initial jobless claims came in below expectations at 205,000, indicating a tight labor market with no reason for the Fed to cut rates.
Rate Hike Expectations Reignited: Traders no longer expect rate cuts in 2026 and are even beginning to hedge against "rate hike" risks, with global liquidity facing potential "drainage." Energy Geopolitics: Yellen attempts to suppress inflation through oil measures, indirectly confirming that price pressures remain significant. 📉 Ethereum (ETH) Trend Analysis Short-term: Under pressure for washout. Affected by high rate expectations, risk assets are shrinking. ETH is likely to follow the broader market in pullbacks to support levels in the short term, clearing leverage, with a trend leaning toward choppy downside moves. Long-term: Resilience remains. As long as Ethereum's deflationary mechanism and ecosystem moat stay intact, macroeconomic headwinds are only temporary. Ethereum in 2026 will increasingly trend toward a "settlement layer asset," with value accumulating as applications explode. Profits in bull markets, coins in bear markets; weather this hawkish storm and you'll see the digital goldmine$ETH $BTC
Bull market defense, bear market offense; futures chase profits, spot defines the landscape. I suggest brothers hold some spot, only use 20% per monthly/weekly cycle for futures trading, and use the remaining funds for financial management and hedging. No need to be tied to futures 😇
