March jobs report just dropped — and it smashed expectations. U.S. added 178K jobs vs 60K forecast, unemployment fell to 4.3%. That's a strong signal for the economy.

Bitcoin stayed near $67K right after the data, showing no major reaction yet. But markets are watching closely — strong jobs could push the Fed toward more rate hikes in 2026.

Stock futures dipped slightly, Treasury yields jumped 4bps to 4.36%. Oil price moves have been driving rate hike bets lately, but Powell said the Fed won't rush into hikes just because of short-term oil spikes.

If this job momentum keeps up, expect more hawkish Fed talk — and that could pressure risk assets like crypto. Traders should stay alert for Fed signals.
