Hmm... It's the same story again. When employment data looks good, they raise interest rates? BTC will have to go through a tough time again.

A warming labor market means expectations of interest rate hikes, and BTC is about to take a hit again... This time really feels hopeless.

Here we go again, as soon as U.S. employment data improves, the probability of interest rate cuts drops to zero. This really makes things difficult for the crypto world.
