🩸 Unemployment Claims came in Bearish for crypto.
Forecast: 201K
Actual: 197K
If claims had come in above 201K, that could have increased expectations for rate cuts and supported risk assets.
But the data came in lower than expected — meaning fewer people filed for unemployment benefits than the market was expecting.
Less labor-market weakness → potentially fewer rate-cut expectations → bearish pressure on BTC and other risk assets.
That’s why BTC is pricing this data in right now and moving down.
$BTC is around $83,500.
Now the key level is $82,517.
If BTC breaks that support, the downside could accelerate.
Watch the reaction 🩸🩸🩸
