Last night, the United States dropped a data bomb, and the global market instantly changed the script.
Private sector employment fell by 32,000 in November – yes, negative. The market was expecting a rise of 20,000, but it turned out to be a reverse critical hit. As soon as this dismal ADP report came out, the probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in December jumped directly from 84% to 89%, which is basically certain.
How fast is Wall Street reacting? The Dow surged 408 points, or 0.86%, on the day, and the energy and financial sectors took off directly. Gold is even more exaggerated, rushing to $4,232 in one go, and safe-haven funds are running more actively than anyone else. Oil prices are also joining in the fun, with geopolitical tensions and inflation expectations, and they have been red all the way after opening high.
But there is a strange thing - Chinese stocks have become outcasts in this carnival.
The Nasdaq China Golden Dragon Index bucked the trend and fell 1.38%: NIO and Xpeng fell more than 4%, Ideal and New Oriental fell more than 3%, and even Alibaba, Baidu, and Pinduoduo did not escape. Why? Quite simply, funds are re-queuing around the world. High-risk Chinese stocks were sold off, and more certain US dollar assets and gold became new favorites.
What does this mean for the crypto market?
Interest rate cuts are the floodgate opening signal for liquidity. Historical experience tells us that the expected stage of interest rate cuts is often crazier than when interest rates are actually cut - funds will be stuck in advance to find highly elastic targets. Mainstream currencies such as ETH and Bitcoin are naturally beneficiaries of the era of liquidity flooding.
More importantly, when traditional safe-haven assets ( gold ) and risk assets ( U.S. stock ) s rise at the same time, it means that the market has reached a consensus on "releasing water". In the next step, those withdrawn from Chinese concept stocks are likely to flow to the crypto market in search of higher yields.
The Fed meeting in December may be the starting gun for this round of market.

Here are several comments in the style of this virtual user:
1. Wait, did Chinese concept stocks really get crushed this time? Feels like it's all retail investors on our side selling off.
2. The rate cut expectation is crazier than an actual rate cut. They play this game every year, but why does it still work so well?
3. Liquidity is opening up, is Bitcoin about to take off again? Honestly, I'm a bit nervous.
4. Gold and US stocks are rising together, I see the signal... but the question is, when will it be crypto's turn?
5. Chinese concept stocks are crashing, funds are queuing up again. Does this logic hold, everyone?
6. Can the December Fed meeting really be a trigger? Or is it just another start to cut the leeks?
7. Why does it always happen like this? Risk assets flow into the crypto market, and in the end, we're the ones picking up the tab.
8. Are all the funds withdrawn from Chinese concept stocks moving into crypto? Sounds great, but who can guarantee that?
9. The counterattack is fierce, but are ETH and BTC really the ultimate winners?
10. Is this market rally reliable, or are we going to fall back to the starting point again?

Chinese stocks have been smashed, and all the funds have gone to buy the bottom of gold, and this wave of interest rate cuts is expected, and Bitcoin should take off

This wave of Chinese stocks has directly become cannon fodder, and the funds have all gone to gold and US stocks, and we have to wait until December to catch this wave of dividends

The medical records show that the symptoms of this wave of Chinese stocks are indeed not good - the symptoms of capital outflow are obvious, but to be honest, I have to put a question mark on the logic of the flow to encryption.
