Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) — October 2, 2026

What it is

Non-Farm Payrolls is the most-watched US labor-market release. A stronger-than-expected number typically lifts the dollar (negative for crypto), while a weak print pushes rate-cut expectations and supports risk assets.

How to trade it

• Reduce position size 1 hour before the release.
• Watch BTC for direction, then rotate to high-beta alts on confirmation.
• Avoid market orders the first 60 seconds — slippage is brutal.
• Use stop-loss in case the move reverses (initial spike often fades within 15 min).
