US jobs came in nearly 3X hotter than expected. Bitcoin hit a new low. But altcoins? Green. 👀
1️⃣ The jobs shock
October payrolls: 165,000 vs 59,000 expected. Unemployment dropped to 4.1%. Strong jobs = the Fed has no reason to cut. Rate HIKE odds for December jumped to 79%.
2️⃣ $BTC printed a new low at $74,888
Bitcoin broke yesterday's $75.2K low before bouncing to $75.6K. That's -1.3% in 24h, and still weak.
3️⃣ Altcoins ignored the bad news
• $ETHFI +8.6%
• $PYTH +8.5%
• $ZEC +7.1% (hit $1,388 at the high)
• $ARB +6.8%
• $TIA +6.4%
• $PEPE +6.3%
When alts go green while BTC makes new lows, money is rotating, not leaving.
4️⃣ Not everyone joined the party
$XRP -4.5% and $BCH -4.4% were the weakest majors. $ETH -1.9%.
5️⃣ Leverage is building again
Open interest is up 7% in 24h while price fell. More traders are betting on the next big move, so a squeeze in either direction can come fast.
📍 BTC levels to watch
• Support: $74,900 (new low). Below it, September's lows come into focus
• Resistance: $76,300, then $79,000
😨 Fear & Greed: 31 (Fear)
My take: a Fed hike is bad for crypto in theory, but the market barely reacted. If BTC holds $74.9K over the weekend, alts like $ZEC and $ETHFI could keep leading. If it breaks, alts will follow it down.
Is this altcoin strength real, or a trap before another dump? 👇
