Get Ready for a Big Data Week Ahead!

Hey, traders! Dan Passarelli here.

We made it to Friday—woohoo! As we head into the weekend, let’s take a look at what’s coming up next week because it’s shaping up to be a big one.

We’re going to see a ton of data on inflation and jobs, plus a packed earnings schedule and lots of Fed speakers scheduled. That means one thing: volatility.

Here’s what’s on the radar:

📌 Tuesday: JOLTS (Job Openings & Quits)
📌 Wednesday: ADP Employment Change
📌 Thursday: Non-Farm Payrolls
📌 Friday: Monthly Unemployment Numbers

The VIX is already signaling heightened market activity, closing near 17 today—a statistically high level. It’s not just me expecting movement; the market is bracing for it, too.

So, take some time this weekend to prep your trade selections and research. Next week is all about being ready to act.

Stay sharp and trade smart!
