🎙 The US is stronger than expected again — why this is a problem for the Fed
📊 Today, September 4, US labor market data for August were released — and they came in notably above forecasts. Non-Farm Payrolls: +162K versus the expected +55K, while June-July figures were revised up by a combined 55K. Unemployment remained at 4.1%, exactly as the market had priced in.
💼 The labor market turned out to be much stronger than consensus. A hard landing or recession still does not look like the base case — growth is being supported by services and the local public sector. But for risky assets, this is a double-edged sword.
🏦 If the economy remains resilient, the Fed has fewer reasons to rush into policy easing. Part of the market had priced in a softer rate path — the strong report could shift expectations toward "higher for longer." The release came out at 15:30 Kyiv time, and the market reaction is already being reflected.
🗳 An additional factor for the coming months is the US congressional midterm elections on November 3, 2026.
💬 What do you think: will $BTC the $76K–$82K range hold until the next Fed meeting, or are we expecting a breakout?
❗️Be careful and act cautiously. Always manage your risks.
