#USNFPBlowout Finally, the long-awaited non-farm payroll (NFP) report for January 2026 has arrived, and it shocked the markets. If you were looking at your Binance charts today, you probably saw some "red candles" and sudden spikes in volatility.

Here is the distribution #USNFPBlowout and what it means for your portfolio.

📊 Numbers you need to know

The market was bracing for modest 70,000 jobs, but the actual numbers surprised everyone:

Actual: +130,000 jobs 🚀

Forecast: +70,000 jobs

Unemployment rate: Decreased to 4.3% (from 4.4%)

Wage growth: steady at 0.4% month-over-month, signaling that inflation is not cooling as quickly as some had hoped.

📉 Why does cryptocurrency react negatively?

"More jobs" usually sounds like good news. However, in the world of macro trading, it's somewhat of a paradox of "good news is bad news."

Hopes for a Fed rate cut are fading: The market was betting that the Federal Reserve would cut interest rates as early as March. A "blowout" jobs report indicates that the economy is still too hot, providing the Fed with reasons to keep rates "higher for longer."

Dollar strength (DXY): As rate cut expectations fade, the US dollar (DXY) typically strengthens. Since Bitcoin is priced relative to the dollar (BTC/USDT), a stronger greenback can often put downward pressure on cryptocurrency prices.

Liquidity crisis: Higher interest rates mean "expensive money." This reduces excess liquidity that typically flows into high-risk assets like altcoins and memecoins.

💡 Strategy for Binance traders

Volatility is a double-edged sword. Here's how professionals handle it:

Watch support at $67,000: Bitcoin has dropped below $67,300. Traders are targeting the $60,000 zone as the next major psychological support if the bearish momentum continues.

Beware of the "NFP Drift": The first 30 minutes of the NFP are often filled with "fakes." Experienced traders usually wait 2–3 hours for the "drift" — a sustained direction — to establish before entering a position.

Focus on revisions: While today's headline was strong, the Bureau of Labor Statistics significantly revised the 2025 data downward. This indicates that the underlying economy may be weaker than the "blowout" headline suggests, which could lead to a recovery in $BTC in the medium term.

Expert tip: Watch the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on your 4-hour Binance charts. If we fall into "oversold" territory (<30), it could signal a temporary "dead cat bounce" or a local bottom.

🚀 What's next?

All eyes are now on the CPI (Consumer Price Index) report this Friday. If inflation turns out to be lower than expected, it could cancel out the shock from the NFP and trigger a massive market rally.
