Bitcoin holds steady amid surprising U.S. unemployment surge and dollar dip

Quick Take

The recent rise in the U.S. unemployment rate from 3.5% to 3.8%, despite projections of it holding steady, has presented an intriguing scenario in the financial sector. This increase has occurred alongside a surge in non-farm payrolls, which exceeded expectations by reaching 187,000 instead of the anticipated 170,000. This suggests a complexity in the labor market dynamics.

Amid this labor market fluctuation, Bitcoin demonstrated remarkable stability, holding its value at $26,000.
