Bitcoin Falls 5% After US Employment Data Release

Following the release of US employment data, Bitcoin's price fell by 5%, causing market disruptions.

Impact of Economic Data on the Market

The Job Openings and Labour Turnover Survey (JOLTS) indicated an increase in job openings to 8.1 million in November, triggering a drop in Bitcoin's price to $97,000. This increase in job numbers reduces the likelihood of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, negatively impacting risk assets.

Position Liquidation and Volatility

Amid a price decline exceeding 5%, Bitcoin long positions worth over $30 million were liquidated within an hour. Recent movements of large Bitcoin volumes to exchanges intensify selling pressure.

Bitcoin Analysis and Predictions

Experts warn of potential further drops to $85,000-$90,000. However, improved regulation with upcoming US political initiatives is expected to support the cryptocurrency market in the mid-term.

The current state of the US economy continues to impact the cryptocurrency market. The market's future direction will depend on economic indicators and political developments.
