The U.S. added 178,000 jobs in March, way above the 60,000 expected. That's a big rebound after February's losses. Unemployment dropped to 4.3%, and the market barely flinched—$BTC stayed near $67K.

Stocks dipped slightly, with the Nasdaq 100 down 0.2%. The 10-year Treasury yield jumped to 4.36%. Fed Chair Powell recently said oil price shocks won't push them to rush rate hikes, but today's strong jobs data could bring 2026 hikes back into play.

For crypto traders, this means the macro picture stays uncertain. Strong jobs data could push the Fed toward tighter policy later, which might pressure risk assets like crypto. Watch how $BTC reacts if yields keep climbing.
