The U.S. is set to unveil the March Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) data today, a crucial metric for investors assessing the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy trajectory. Analysts predict a slowdown in job growth, with estimates forecasting NFP figures at approximately 139K, down from the previous 151K, alongside a slight uptick in the expected unemployment rate to 4.2%. Should the labor data disappoint, it may provoke the Fed to expedite interest rate cuts, potentially providing a boost to the cryptocurrency market. Conversely, solid figures would likely suppress interest in risk assets, impacting market dynamics.
According to Bitunx analysts, a softer job market could further solidify expectations for monetary easing, enhancing market liquidity and elevating the appeal of risk assets. Bitcoin (BTC) faces immediate support at $80K and a long-term hold at $78K. The ongoing influence of geopolitical factors, including tariff policies and global economic uncertainties, continues to heighten market volatility. Investors are encouraged to adopt prudent risk management strategies to mitigate exposure and enhance asset allocation.
