币界网报道：Bitcoin briefly dropped over 1% to around $42,900 following stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data, which reduced expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. The cryptocurrency quickly rebounded above $43,000 as investors digested the economic indicators. The U.S. added 353,000 jobs in January, nearly double forecasts, while wages grew 4.5% year-over-year. This robust employment data suggests the Fed may maintain higher interest rates longer, typically negative for risk assets like Bitcoin. However, Bitcoin's swift recovery indicates continued strong demand, with analysts noting institutional inflows through spot ETFs are helping cushion downside moves. The market now awaits further economic data to gauge the Fed's policy path.
