Bitcoin Drops Below $80,000 Following Strong US Jobs Report
Stronger-than-expected US August nonfarm payroll data dampened expectations for imminent Federal Reserve rate cuts, pushing Bitcoin lower.
Bitcoin fell from $81,300 to an intraday low of $78,600 before stabilizing near $79,500 after the release of robust US labor market figures. The US economy added 162,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in August, substantially exceeding economists' consensus projections of roughly 56,000.
The labor report has complicated the monetary policy outlook ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting scheduled for September 15–16. Unanchored expectations under Chair Kevin Warsh and differing viewpoints within the committee have heightened market uncertainty. While Fed Governor Christopher Waller previously expressed openness to pausing rate changes pending inflation data, Polymarket odds shifted back to an even 50/50 split between a pause and a 25 basis-point rate hike following the employment data.
In response to the figures, US President Donald Trump publicly renewed his calls for lower interest rates via Truth Social, urging the Federal Reserve board to enact cuts and arguing that elevated rates place the country at an economic disadvantage.
Separately, a competing Bitcoin fork utilizing the Blake2b algorithm recorded its first trading volume, with units changing hands at $350 on the Neoxa exchange.
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.
