🐃 Coindesk: The labor market in the USA is a bullish signal for Bitcoin.
➥ Companies are preparing for mass layoffs; in January, plans were announced to cut 108,000 jobs – three times more than in the previous month. This is the highest number since 2009 when Lehman Brothers went bankrupt.
➥ The tech sector is experiencing the largest layoffs: Amazon and UPS have announced tens of thousands of layoffs. These plans were prepared as early as the end of 2025, indicating that businesses do not believe in the possibility of a strong 2026.
➥ Official employment statistics are still holding up, but private data is already signaling problems. Truflation (a blockchain platform) shows inflation below 1%, while official data still indicates it is above 2%.
➥ Weak labor market + declining inflation = pressure on the Fed, the need for interest rate cuts to avoid economic collapse. And historically, this boosts risk assets.
➥ BTC currently represents half of its ATH (126 thousand dollars). If the Fed moves to monetary easing, a rebound is possible.
