US Adds 130,000 Jobs in January; Crypto Markets Show Mixed Reaction
January payrolls beat expectations, while outlets reported differing immediate impacts on bitcoin and broader crypto markets.
U.S. nonfarm payrolls rose by 130,000 in January, exceeding forecasts, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.3% according to the jobs report [4]. Analysts noted that stronger-than-expected job growth could complicate Federal Reserve interest-rate decisions going forward [2].
Crypto market coverage of the report was mixed: some outlets said bitcoin climbed above $67,000 following the jobs data [3][4], while other reporting highlighted ongoing volatility, with bitcoin down more than 11% for the week and about 2.5% over the prior 24 hours amid broader market swings [1].
The payrolls print and divergent market reactions underscore sensitivity of crypto prices to macroeconomic releases and the potential for such data to influence near-term monetary policy expectations [2][1].
