Volatists! BIG NEWS BIG TRADES! - Non-Farm employment change 📆 - Unemployment rate 📈📉 - Average hourly earnings🇺🇸 Let's dive into what they are and how you can make some trades around this all today 👇 Non-farm Payroll (NFP) is a monthly report that estimates the net number of jobs gained in the US, excluding non-profit organizations and farms. This report is published on the friday of every new month alongside 2 other news data which are average hourly earnings and employment rate, which gives today a very volatile trading session considering all the volatility that such data is providing. Yesterday we saw some serious volatility after the X collision between Elon Musk and President Trump which caused BTC to dump from 105k to 100k, and ETH from 2600 to 2400. Trade strategies There's many ways you can trade events like this with directional bets, or even volatility bets. For instance, with a report stronger than forecast, that is usually bullish for the dollar, which historically is bearish for risk on assets, we can capitalize on this by buying puts. On the contrary, if the data report comes out weaker than forecast, that would signifiy a weakening dollar, historically causing risk on assets to rise. You know the drill, we can buy call options here to get levered exposure to markets here. Last but not least, if the market decides to not react to the news that much, we can always sell these options if we expect this asset to chop around all day, where we would benefit from the premiums of these options that we earn from selling!
