January 10 Non-farm Payroll Data
Non-farm payroll data reflects the state of the U.S. employment market. If the data shows strong performance, indicating economic improvement, the market may expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates, leading to capital flowing out of the crypto market and causing a drop in coin prices, triggering profit-taking. If the data is poor, the market may anticipate a rate cut or maintaining rates, which would drive capital into the crypto market and push up coin prices.

Some altcoin projects closely integrated with emerging fields and featuring innovative technologies may attract attention. If CPI data exceeds expectations, the market may anticipate further interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve, which could impact the crypto market, including altcoins.
