Bitcoin Value Declines Following Recent Employment Report: Here's the Explanation
Bitcoin Price Decline: Bitcoin has dropped sharply to the $87,800–$88,300 range, marking a 12.9% decline over the week, primarily due to macroeconomic factors rather than issues within the crypto market itself.
Impact of Labor Data: The release of the September jobs report revealed stronger-than-expected payroll growth but also an increase in unemployment, creating uncertainty for traders and affecting expectations for the Federal Reserve's upcoming decisions.
Rate-Cut Expectations Shift: Confidence in a potential rate cut by the Federal Reserve in December has plummeted from 94% to around 37%, leading to tighter liquidity conditions that negatively impact speculative assets like cryptocurrencies.
Market Reaction to Uncertainty: The combination of unreliable economic data and fears of prolonged tight monetary policy has led to increased volatility in risk markets, with Bitcoin experiencing significant sell-offs as traders seek to reduce exposure amid uncertainty.
