【Crypto World】Tuesday’s market was indeed turbulent. The US stock market sent a complex signal from the labor market—November non-farm payrolls increased by 64,000, exceeding expectations, but the unemployment rate jumped to 4.6%. This conflicting situation left the stock market a bit confused: the Nasdaq rose slightly by 0.2%, while the Dow and S&P 500 experienced minor pullbacks, essentially staying in place.
Interestingly, the crypto side showed some signs of improvement. Bitcoin rebounded nicely, rising nearly 2% and regaining the $87,000 level, giving the market a bit of a boost. In contrast, the traditional energy market was less optimistic—WTI crude oil fell significantly, dropping 2.2% at one point, now consolidating around $55 per barrel.
Behind this mixed rise and fall, it actually reflects the market’s indecision over the labor data. Good employment figures sound positive, but the rising unemployment rate hints at something else. Crypto investors’ understanding of these complex signals has evidently driven up demand for BTC.

This wave of Bitcoin's rebound is amazing. It turns out that the reaction speed of the crypto market is crucial; the traditional financial logic simply doesn't work here.

The wave of resignations is coming, and despite the good data, unemployment is rising again. This logic doesn't add up.

While the stock market is clueless, BTC is quietly making big profits. That's why we're still here.

Does rising unemployment rate actually benefit cryptocurrencies? I need to think this through carefully... Could it be a signal that Powell is going to cut interest rates?

Too classic, when the stock market is clueless, the crypto circle is just having a blast
That 2% increase in BTC is truly a smart move, unemployment rate is just a signal to us
It's no surprise that crude oil has fallen so much, the traditional financial logic is already outdated
Such fragmented employment data, no wonder retail investors can't understand... Wait, I am a retail investor
Can we hold the 87,000 level? I have no confidence inside
From labor data to coin price rebound: this week's financial markets are a mix of hot and cold
