Dead Cat Bounce?
#bitcoin deflates while employment in the U.S. crushes hopes of the #Fed
The mirage of $72,000, after a fake recovery of 20% last Friday, Bitcoin has plunged back below $66,000.
Analysts warn that the rise was a "dead cat bounce," lacking conviction, which has also dragged down #Ethereum , #solana , and #xrp by more than 5.5%.
The "Employment Effect" paralyzes the Fed: The January report in the U.S. (130,000 new jobs, double what was expected) has cooled expectations for interest rate cuts. The likelihood of a loosening in March has plummeted from 21% to 6%, keeping the dollar strong and punishing risk assets.
Capital flight to the traditional market: Investor interest is evaporating. While open interest in Bitcoin futures has fallen 51% from its peak in October 2025, stock markets like the South Korean Kospi are experiencing an unprecedented boom, absorbing the retail capital fleeing from crypto stagnation.
Bleeding in sector stocks: The pessimism is systemic. Robinhood (HOOD) leads the losses with a drop of -12.14% after reporting mediocre crypto trading revenues, infecting giants like Coinbase (-7.72%) and Strategy (-4.8%).
Alternative havens: In a classic turnaround of financial manual, while cryptocurrencies falter and stocks stagnate, precious metals gain ground: gold rose 4.55% and silver surged 3.2% during the day.
