📊 Strong jobs. Rising inflation concerns. And now the Fed decision is getting closer.

The latest U.S. nonfarm payrolls report came in much stronger than expected, with employers adding 162,000 jobs in August, compared with forecasts of around 56,000. That immediately gave the market another reason to question whether the Federal Reserve will hold rates—or hike again.

For crypto, this matters.

A more aggressive Fed can put pressure on risk assets, while a decision to hold could give markets some breathing room.

So I'm watching three very different names:

$BTC
🟠 — The market's biggest macro barometer. If risk appetite changes after the Fed decision, Bitcoin will likely be one of the first charts traders watch.

$ZEC
🟣 — Privacy coins have recently attracted renewed attention, making ZEC an interesting alternative narrative if capital continues rotating through the altcoin market.

$BNB
🟡 — A major ecosystem token that can tell its own story beyond the broader BTC market.

My view?

I'm leaning cautiously bullish, but CPI and the Fed could change the mood quickly.

The jobs data was strong. Inflation remains the bigger question.

Hold or hike—what's your call?
