Overall: Pay close attention to Friday’s non-farm payroll data. If the data remains weak this month after last month’s soft report, it will increase expectations for rate cuts, which is positive for cryptocurrencies and gold. Conversely, strong data could be negative. Additionally, beyond major financial events, the most important thing is to keep an eye on the ongoing drama of the US-Iran situation, which will be a key factor in determining next week’s market direction!
