NFP REPORT: 64,000 Jobs Added! Why is Bitcoin Reacting? (Dec 2025 Analysis)

The highly anticipated Nonfarm Payrolls report is out, and it’s a mixed bag for the markets. While the headline number beat expectations, the details reveal cracks in the US economy.

The Key Numbers:

The "Beat": 64,000 jobs were added in November, surpassing the 45,000-50,000 forecasted by economists.

The "Crack": The unemployment rate unexpectedly jumped to 4.6%, the highest since late 2021.

The Revision: October's data was dismal, showing a revised decline of 105,000 jobs.

Crypto Market Reaction:

Bitcoin briefly slipped below $86,000 following the news. Why? It's a classic "Good news is Bad news" scenario. A headline beat suggests the economy isn't cooling fast enough for aggressive Fed rate cuts, but the rising unemployment rate adds recession anxiety.

The $85,000 support level is now the battlefield. If the US Dollar (DXY) weakens due to long-term recession fears, we could see a strong bounce back toward $88,000.
