The last trading day of the year is here! December 31st's economic calendar is already packed—FOMC minutes, US and China manufacturing PMI, crude oil inventory data, and more major releases, plus the initial jobless claims report.

Honestly, how much impact do these data releases at this time of year have on the market? Market liquidity is already somewhat weak, and once these indicators are out, mainstream cryptocurrencies like #战略性加仓BTC and $BTC can be quickly driven. The policy stance revealed in the FOMC minutes and the economic expectations behind the unemployment data are the two factors most likely to trigger emotional swings at year-end.

Additionally, crude oil inventory data involves global risk asset pricing, and US-China manufacturing PMI reflects economic activity. Combined, this creates a critical market sentiment test. Investors need to keep a close eye on these key moments and avoid being caught off guard by sudden data shocks.
