Updated: Jan 09 2026- Weak Job Growth: In 2025, the U.S. added only 61,000 jobs per month, marking the weakest growth since 2003, which signals economic deceleration and may prompt the Federal Reserve to adopt more accommodative monetary policies to stimulate the economy.
- Market Response Impact: The sluggish job market has heightened investor expectations for potential Fed rate cuts, directly influencing the volatility of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), as traders adjust their portfolios in response to changing macroeconomic conditions.
- Macroeconomic Implications: Timiraos' analysis indicates that weak employment data typically leads to expectations of dovish Fed actions, affecting the performance of macroeconomic assets such as Treasuries and the U.S. dollar, necessitating cautious portfolio adjustments by investors to mitigate potential risks.
- Digital Asset Volatility: Bitcoin is currently trading at $90,342.55 with a market cap of $1.80 trillion and a 24-hour trading volume of $40.06 billion, reflecting broader economic concerns as its price has dropped 18.58% over the past 90 days, indicating increased market volatility amid economic uncertainty.
