๐ Jobs Report: What Changed?
73,000 jobs added in July โ far below the ~150,000 expected.
Unemployment rose to 4.2% โ up from 4.0%.
Downward revisions of 258,000 jobs from May and June.
Weakest labor numbers since early 2024.
This signals labor market cooling โ something the Fed watches closely.
๐ฆ Impact on Federal Reserve Policy
A softer labor market increases the odds the Fed cuts interest rates in September:
Lower rates = easier borrowing.
More liquidity = risk assets (like crypto) often benefit.
A rate cut would also weaken the dollar, another positive for crypto prices.
๐ Crypto Implications
Historically:
Bitcoin and Ethereum often rally after rate cuts.
Altcoins can surge as investors rotate into higher-risk plays.
The market tends to anticipate the Fed โ meaning August could see speculative inflows into crypto.
Also:
If equities remain volatile, crypto may become a hedge or alternative asset.
โ ๏ธ Trade War Risk?
If Trumpโs administration reignites a U.S.-China trade war, that adds:
Market uncertainty
Pressure on equities
A potential flight to alternative assets โ like gold and crypto
๐ง Bottom Line
This report doesnโt guarantee a crypto breakout โ but it does increase the odds of:
A Fed pivot
A weaker dollar
A more risk-on environment
๐ If macro trends continue this way into August, crypto markets could heat up ahead of the next Fed decision.#CryptoNewss #bitcoin #Ethereum #jolts $XRP $BTC $ETH
