Non-farm payroll night review: U.S. stocks plummeted, gold resisted decline, Bitcoin under pressure, what should be done next?
Today, the U.S. January non-farm payrolls exceeded expectations, with employment numbers at 130,000, exceeding the expected 68,000; the unemployment rate dropped from 4.4% to 4.3%; wage growth rose from 0.1% to 0.4%; labor participation rate at 62.5%, higher than the expected 62.4%;
The director still wants to improve. In January, such good data was arranged to cover up another bad truth. The 25-year revision is down by 862,000 people, averaging more than 70,000 per month, more than the 60,000 predicted by old Bao, and the adjustment of the population model has also been delayed, meaning there will continue to be downward revisions next time.
This indicates that the overall decline in U.S. employment has already begun, which is an undeniable fact.
U.S. retail sales slump! Tonight, the Nasdaq, Bitcoin, gold, and silver all tremble, and the non-farm payroll may become a crucial turning point.
Tonight, the U.S. retail sales for December are 0% month-on-month, significantly below the expected 0.4%. Previously, Powell and Wall Street's 'golden-haired girl' narrative is facing the risk of being exposed.
December is the Christmas season in the U.S., a traditional peak retail period. A 0% month-on-month figure reflects the slowdown in consumption for most groups under the K-shaped economy, with domestic demand increasingly driven by the affluent.
Of course, the U.S. economy has two other 'stories' to tell besides domestic demand: one is the AI narrative, with increasing evidence of productivity improvements; the AI investment guideline of 650 billion for 26 years was announced this quarter; the second is the growth in net exports, both of which will boost GDP.
$BTC #何时抄底? The non-farm data has been released, but the CPI has not yet been announced. The market is currently in a phase of volatility and frustration. Don't rush to buy in bulk, first observe and wait for clear signals. Let the bullet fly for a while, opportunities always come a step later than the bullet.
February 13⏰21:30 US January CPI announced! What do you think the impact on BTC will be? The US January CPI data is being released, with a core expectation of 2.5%. This will directly affect the Fed's interest rate cut pace and determine the short-term direction of the crypto market. ✅ Lower than expected: Expectations for interest rate cuts will increase, funds will flow into risk assets, and BTC is expected to challenge 70,000+ ❌ Higher than expected: Interest rate cuts will be delayed, market risk aversion will rise, and BTC may face downward pressure #cpi #When to buy the dip?

🔸 The Alpha Blind Box is a brand new airdrop model pioneered by Binance. Multiple projects are gathered in the same event.
🔸 When users redeem blind boxes with Alpha points, they randomly receive a token airdrop from a selected project.
The blind box includes historical projects launched in the past.
🟡 The first blind box airdrop: February 11.
🔹 How to receive: first come, first served, reducing by 5 points every 5 minutes.
🟢 Summary: The airdrop play of blind boxes is similar to before, which requires points + thresholds to receive.
The difference is that blind boxes can open different historical project airdrops, with rewards being random, Binance has hundreds of old projects that can be issued, usually, these historical projects have some stock tokens on Binance for future incentive activities#aphla

#vanar $VANRY Vanar Chain is redefining AI infrastructure! It is not simply adding AI functionalities to existing chains, but rather building a native Layer 1 public chain with support for AI from the ground up. This means it inherently possesses the capability to handle complex AI computations, semantic memory, and automated reasoning, far surpassing those 'patchwork' solutions. $VANRY as its ecological token is directly linked to the practical applications of these cutting-edge technologies, holding immense value potential. @vanar #Vanar
On February 6, the U.S. and Iran held their first indirect negotiations in Muscat, Oman (8 hours+), with both sides agreeing to continue talks next week, but core differences remain unresolved.
- U.S. stance: Trump says talks are "very good," but warns of "serious consequences if no agreement is reached," signing an executive order threatening tariffs on countries trading with Iran. - Iran responds: Foreign Minister Zarif states that negotiations are "off to a good start," but demands that the U.S. abandon its "coercive policies" and refuses to compromise on the issues of ballistic missiles and regional support.
#dusk $DUSK @dusk_foundation As a Layer 1 public chain deeply engaged in compliant privacy financial infrastructure, it has been building a modular architecture for institutional-level financial applications since its establishment in 2018. In 2026, a series of ecological landing actions are set to come! The DuskEVM mainnet will officially launch in the second week of January, significantly lowering integration barriers with compatibility for Solidity contracts, unlocking new possibilities for compliant DeFi and RWA applications; Hedger Alpha has already landed, achieving compliant private transactions on EVM with zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption, balancing privacy and auditability. DuskTrade, in collaboration with licensed NPEX, will also launch in 2026, bringing over 300 million euros in tokenized securities on-chain. In January, a waiting list will open, and cooperation with Chainlink will further empower ecological upgrades! $DUSK Deeply binding the ecological full-chain development, becoming the core value carrier of the compliant RWA track, with potential worth looking forward to! #Dusk
#plasma $XPL @plasma Anchoring stablecoin payment core track to create a dedicated public chain, optimizing the underlying architecture to solve the industry's high cross-chain payment fees and low transfer efficiency pain points, providing a zero-fee USDT transfer experience, while being compatible with the EVM ecosystem allowing developers to easily migrate contracts and quickly implement various payment and DeFi applications, with the ecosystem landing speed continuously accelerating! XPL, as the native token of Plasma, is the core of ecosystem operation, not only undertaking basic functions such as on-chain gas payment and node staking but also holding governance decision-making power within the ecosystem. Token holders can deeply participate in key aspects such as protocol upgrades and ecosystem fund allocation, binding value closely with the development of the Plasma ecosystem. Currently, the Plasma ecosystem continues to expand, application scenarios are constantly enriching, track dividends are continuously released, and the long-term value of XPL is worth looking forward to! #plasma
Vanar Chain: AI-first native infrastructure, defining a new benchmark for Web3 AI-ready
The integration of Web3 and AI has already become a core development trend in the industry. However, most projects currently only remain at the surface transformation stage of 'AI+'. They simply overlay AI functions on traditional public chain infrastructure, lacking true native adaptation. In contrast, the Vanar Chain, created by @vanar, leverages an AI-first foundational design logic to break free from the narrative trap of pseudo-AI chains. With a solid technical implementation and ecological layout, it constructs a truly AI-native infrastructure. As the only native token of the ecosystem, $VANRY is deeply tied to the real use and value growth of the ecosystem, becoming one of the few value carriers anchored in actual implementation in the Web3 AI era.
