How to interpret complex signals from the unexpectedly strong US employment data and Bitcoin prices?
The latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) shows that non-farm employment increased by 64,000 in November, far exceeding market expectations of 50,000, but the unemployment rate rose to 4.6%, reaching a new high since September 2021. After this employment report, which sends mixed signals, Bitcoin experienced intense volatility, initially surging above $87,000, then pulling back, and attempting again to break the $88,000 mark. This is the first major macroeconomic report since the Federal Reserve cut interest rates last week, highlighting the market's difficult balancing act between strong employment data and potential economic cracks, making the upcoming CPI inflation data even more critical.
