Coin I'm talking about today: $BTC 🪙
The August Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report dropped on September 4, and it hit crypto hard. The US economy added 162,000 jobs — way above the ~56,000 economists expected. That "too strong" number was actually bad news for Bitcoin.
📊 Why? Strong jobs data = less pressure on the Fed to cut rates = higher yields and a stronger dollar = money flows out of risk assets like crypto.
The reaction was immediate:
- BTC fell from near $81,400 to an intraday low of $78,660
- It's now trading around $79,500–$79,800, down ~2% on the news
- Fed rate-hike odds for September jumped to roughly 58–60%, up from about 50% before the report
- 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields both rose sharply the same session
Despite the pullback, BTC is still holding a positive weekly return, and the Fear & Greed Index remains at 75 ("Greed") — meaning sentiment hasn't fully flipped bearish yet.
🗓️ What's next: All eyes now shift to the August CPI (inflation) report on September 11 and the Fed's FOMC meeting September 15–16. A soft inflation print could ease some of this pressure; a hot one could add to it.
Key levels to watch: support at $78,500, with $77,000 as the level that could weaken the broader chart structure if lost.
