Friday's jobs report might actually move markets more than the Fed decision.
Last month: weak payroll number → $BTC rallied from ~$60K to $64K because traders bet on easier policy.
This time: consensus expects 85K–88K jobs, but long-dated Treasury yields are already pricing in a harder landing.
The real risk? Strong headline + solid wage growth. That combo kills the rate-cut narrative and pressures anything that needs liquidity to breathe — including crypto.
A weak report could flip the trade, but the market can't ignore inflation anymore. There's just less wiggle room.
So the question becomes: what will $BTC react to first — the job numbers, wage data, or the Fed path implied by both?
