US Unemployment Jumps to 4.6%, Highest Since 2021: Fed Easing Bets Turn Bullish for BTC - Watch JPY/USD, Nasdaq, Gold, Bond Yields
According to @CryptoMichNL, the U.S. unemployment rate has risen from 4.0% in Feb 2025 to 4.6% now, the highest level since Nov 2021, according to @CryptoMichNL. According to @CryptoMichNL, the softer labor market keeps the Federal Reserve focused on stimulating domestic demand, increasing the likelihood of policy easing and liquidity support. According to @CryptoMichNL, this is bullish for scarce assets and could fuel a BTC bull run, though recession fears may add near-term volatility. According to @CryptoMichNL, key charts to monitor for trade timing are JPY/USD, Nasdaq, Gold, and government bond rates. (Source) More from Michaël van de Poppe 12-16-2025 13:35 |
