The latest U.S. employment figures are getting attention from both traditional markets and crypto traders. Recent data shows the U.S. job market slowing down, with hiring modest and unemployment slightly higher — indicating labor market resilience but less strength than before.
At the same time, jobless claims recently fell to a 1-month low, suggesting mixed signals in employment trends.
📉 Why this matters for crypto:
Federal Reserve policy: Strong job growth usually means the Fed may keep interest rates higher for longer — which can make risk assets like Bitcoin and altcoins face downward pressure early on.
Volatility spikes: Crypto prices can move fast right after jobs reports as traders adjust positions based on growth expectations and rate outlooks.
