U.S. jobless claims have just come in below expectations for layoffs—and crypto traders are watching every move.
📊 The numbers (week ending November 7):
• Initial claims: 200K vs. 194K–195K expected (previous revised to: 191K)
• Continuing claims: 1.697M (down 20K)
• 4-week average: 195.25K
What this really means for the market:
1️⃣ A slight crack, not a collapse: claims came in above expectations, offering risk assets a brief reprieve after Tuesday’s sharp CPI increase (+0.4% month over month).
2️⃣ The Fed remains restrictive: at 200K, layoffs remain historically low. The labor market is still strong enough to keep a December rate hike firmly on the table.
3️⃣ Volatility isn’t over: tomorrow’s U.S. PPI report will be the real deciding factor before the weekend.
🎯 The trading plan:
BTC has lost support at $73.5K and is now testing the $71.3K–$72K zone under heavy macroeconomic pressure. Avoid overleveraging based on a single weekly figure: let liquidity settle, watch the DXY and Treasury yields, and limit your risk ahead of Friday’s PPI.
