130k jobs added in January.
Crushed the 70k estimate.
Market's celebrating. "Economy is strong! Bullish!"
But Bitcoin? Dead silent at $67k.
Here's what they're not telling you:
Strong jobs = Fed keeps rates high = crypto gets choked.
Think about it:
Why would the Fed cut rates if the economy is pumping?
They won't.
And without rate cuts? No liquidity flood. No "money printer go brrrr."
Just slow bleeding in a $59k-$73k range.
Bitcoin already knows this. That's why it didn't react.
Now here's where it gets interesting:
CPI drops Friday.
If inflation STAYS hot (likely) + jobs STAY strong = Fed has ZERO excuse to cut.
We could be stuck in this boring range for MONTHS.
Everyone waiting for "the next leg up" might be waiting a very long time.
But here's the plot twist:
Sometimes the market front-runs the Fed.
If everyone EXPECTS rates to stay high and positions for a grind...
That's exactly when things rip unexpectedly.
So which is it?
Break up through $73k on hopium?
Or break down through $59k when reality hits?
My take: Down first to $62k-$64k by end of week, then we see.
But I want to hear YOUR prediction:
Where's BTC by end of February?
