Greeks.live: The crypto community is concerned about the potential market volatility from the September 5th non-farm payroll data.
Adam, a macroeconomic researcher at Greeks.live, published a Chinese community briefing, stating: "The group is expressing a cautious and bearish sentiment towards the current market. It is generally believed that Bitcoin has recently shown weakness, with the key price level of 108 being repeatedly tested but lacking strong support. Members discussed the potential for institutional and large investors to exit the market due to a weekly MACD death cross cross, while also focusing on the potential for significant volatility due to the non-farm payroll data on September 5th. The group believes the current market lacks a clear direction. On-chain data shows $3.5 billion in selling pressure yesterday, but surprisingly, Bitcoin plummeted while Altcoin remained relatively resilient. This unusual capital flow pattern has prompted in-depth reflection on the current market structure."
