📉 Bitcoin Dips to $55K Amid ETF Outflows & U.S. Jobs Report
Bitcoin saw a quick jump from $55,500 to nearly $57,000 after the U.S. jobs report came out today.
The report showed 142,000 new jobs added in August, which was less than expected, but the unemployment rate dropped slightly to 4.2%. This has increased the chances of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by 25 basis points at their September 18 meeting.
Despite this brief rise, Bitcoin is still facing volatility due to recent ETF outflows, which totaled $211 million over the past week.
The market remains cautious, with the Crypto Fear and Greed Index showing "extreme fear". Analysts say Bitcoin may continue to fluctuate, but institutional interest could help steady things in the near future.
Stay tuned for more updates!
