The jobs report gave $BTC the macro tailwind bulls wanted. The breakout still has to prove itself.
U.S. payrolls rose just 29,000 in Sept versus 90,000 expected, while unemployment ticked up to 4.2%. Treasury yields fell and the dollar weakened, a clean risk-on setup.
$BTC pushed toward $87K, but derivatives were already crowded before the release. Open interest had increased by $2.3B since Sept 30, while perpetual funding climbed from roughly 3% to 10%.
That changes the test. A push through $87K that holds while funding cools would look healthier. A rejection back below $85K would suggest leverage, not spot demand, did most of the work.
The headline is bullish. The positioning says not to confuse a macro boost with a confirmed breakout.
