The unemployment claims data for the week has been released: the previous value remains at 22, the market expectation is 22.4, while the actual data published is 21.9. This value is lower than market expectations and is considered bearish; however, the impact of such news is limited, so let's focus on the US market.
If the market successfully breaks through the key level of 97000, then 483 million short positions will face liquidation; conversely, if it falls below the support level of 95000, then 272 million long positions may be liquidated. The current market is oscillating between 96000 and 95000, and it is expected that the evening market may first experience a wave of decline, followed by a rise.
