🎯 Effect on Markets — Especially Crypto
📉 1. Weaker Job Growth = Softer Economy
A lower-than-expected payroll number signals the U.S. economy is cooling.
This reduces pressure on the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates high, which increases the odds of a rate cut in the next 2–3 months.
> Market translation:
Lower rates = cheaper money = bullish for risk assets, especially Bitcoin and crypto.

🪙 2. Crypto Impact:
Short-Term: Bullish. BTC could climb as traders price in a more accommodative Fed.
Mid-Term: If more weak job prints follow, it strengthens the case for a Fed rate cut, sustaining the rally.
Altcoins: May rise even more aggressively than BTC due to risk-on sentiment.

⚠️ 3. Caveats to Watch
If the Fed hints at delaying cuts, markets may correct.
If future inflation (CPI, PPI) stays high despite weaker jobs, confusion may cause volatility.
