US Initial Jobless Claims just dropped: 196K vs 207K expected (prev 206K)

Labor market still too strong for comfort 💀

This basically hands the Fed a knife to keep rates higher:
Strong jobs → resilient economy → less room to cut rates → $BTC gets squeezed short-term

We're literally getting chopped by every macro data point rn. One day it's inflation, next day jobs, then Fed hawkishness. Pure survival mode.
