Bitcoin and Gold Rise After US Employers Add 29,000 Jobs in September
Bitcoin and gold prices climbed rapidly after the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported nonfarm payroll growth of 29,000 for September, missing market expectations.
United States nonfarm payrolls increased by 29,000 jobs in September, falling well below the 90,000 forecast by economists, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, while August job growth was previously estimated at 162,000.
Both gold and Bitcoin posted immediate price gains following the report. Gold rose from roughly $4,178 to $4,227 per ounce, while Bitcoin increased from around $86,450 to near $87,230 before trading around $86,767, marking a 3.48% daily increase.
The price surge triggered liquidations in derivatives markets, with CoinGlass reporting $32.51 million in closed positions within an hour of the release, including $27.53 million in short positions and $20.5 million specifically on Bitcoin. The labor data comes after a September rate increase by the Federal Reserve and amid 10-year Treasury yields reaching 24-year highs, with J.P. Morgan anticipating an additional rate hike in December.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
