The downward trend in the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin continues, with prices dropping to the $56,000 level. Analysts predict further decline, with all eyes now on upcoming US economic data.
Current Bitcoin Price Situation
As the price of Bitcoin continues to fall, analysts note that the current downward trend may persist. Investors are eagerly awaiting new information that could impact the market.
US Economic Data
The data published on the first Friday of each month is closely followed by investors and stakeholders to understand the state of the economy. Nonfarm Payrolls Data: 142k announced vs. 164k expected vs. 114k previous. Unemployment Data: 4.2% announced – 4.2% expected – 4.3% previous.
Bitcoin's Reaction to the Data
After the release of non-farm payrolls and unemployment data, Bitcoin's reaction was as follows:  Higher-than-expected data is seen as a sign of economic recovery and has a positive impact on the currency. Changes in the labor market significantly impact the FED's monetary policy. The FED, which believes the labor market needs to cool down along with declining inflation, is closely monitoring employment data. If the announced data exceeds expectations, we might see the dollar index (DXY) rise and Bitcoin pull back slightly. If the data falls below expectations, we might see a pullback in DXY. An increase in the unemployment rate could cause a sharp pullback in DXY, which would be positive for Bitcoin. In both cases, volatility will be high in the minutes following the data release.
The current US economic data can significantly impact the future price movements of Bitcoin. Investors continue to closely monitor the situation.
