Market update — June NFP just dropped. Here is what the numbers say 👇
💼 NFP: +57K — well below the 110K expected
📊 Unemployment: 4.2% — ticked down from 4.3%
⚠️ But: household survey showed -507K employed persons
⚠️ April revised -31K · May revised -43K — 74K wiped quietly
💵 Wages: +3.5% YoY — steady, not alarming
The headline looks ok — unemployment down, jobs still positive. But read the details. The household survey showed employed persons falling 507K — that's a sharp divergence from the establishment figure. Workers are not finding jobs, they're leaving the labor force. 👁️
For $BTC — this is cautiously good news. A weak labor market reduces the probability of a rate hike. CME FedWatch now shows an 82.4% probability rates stay unchanged at the July 29 meeting. The rate hike conversation is cooling down. 📉
⚠️ But stay prudent — inflation is still well above 2% target
⚠️ One weak NFP doesn't change the Fed's stance on inflation
⚠️ If July and August NFP bounce back — this print is just noise
📅 Next real test: FOMC July 29
Weak labor market = less pressure to hike = small relief for $BTC . But inflation is still the dominant driver. Don't chase a rally on this alone. 🎯
