All eyes are on the U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report for September 2026, released today, October 2. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics scheduled the Employment Situation report for 8:30 a.m. ET.

Markets are watching closely because the jobs data can influence expectations for Federal Reserve interest-rate policy—and those expectations can quickly affect Bitcoin, crypto, gold, the U.S. dollar and global equities.

Economists surveyed by Reuters expected around 90,000 new jobs in September, compared with 162,000 jobs added in August, while the unemployment rate was expected to remain around 4.1%.

August's official BLS report showed strong payroll growth of 162,000 and an unemployment rate of 4.1%. Average hourly earnings increased 0.3% month over month and 3.1% year over year.

For crypto traders, the key question is not simply whether the NFP number is positive or negative. The important factor is how the actual result compares with market expectations.

A stronger-than-expected jobs report could influence Treasury yields, the U.S. dollar and expectations for future Fed policy. A weaker-than-expected report could produce a different market reaction. Bitcoin and other risk assets may therefore experience increased volatility around the release.

Traders should also watch the unemployment rate and wage-growth figures alongside headline payrolls. These components provide additional information about the strength of the U.S. labor market.

⚠️ NFP events can create rapid price movements and liquidity changes. Avoid making decisions based only on a single economic number and manage risk carefully.
