US NFP exceeded expectations: a blow to the crypto market
On April 3, 2026, the US published strong Nonfarm Payrolls data for March — +178k new jobs against a forecast of only ~60k. The unemployment rate fell to 4.3%.
For the crypto market, this is a negative signal. A strong labor market reduces the likelihood of a rapid rate cut by the Fed ('higher for longer'). This strengthens the dollar, increases the yield on treasuries, and puts pressure on risk assets such as $BTC and altcoins.
#bitcoin reacted cautiously, but analysts warn of a possible test of support. Since the release coincided with Good Friday (traditional markets are closed), the cryptocurrency market became the main venue for reacting to macro data.
#USNFP reminded once again: the crypto market remains sensitive to Fed policy.
