Bitcoin Hits 100K Amid Job Report

Bitcoin Briefly Hits $100,000 Amid Mixed US Jobs Data

  • Bitcoin rose from approximately $97,200 to a high of $100,110 following the release of US employment data.
  • The US added 143,000 jobs in January, below the projected 170,000 and down from December’s 256,000.
  • The unemployment rate fell from 4.1% to 4%, indicating labor market resilience.
  • Bitcoin’s gains were short-lived as it fell back to $97,957 shortly after peaking.
  • BTC is trading within a range of $92,000 to $106,000 despite macroeconomic challenges.

Despite briefly reaching over $100,000 due to lower-than-expected job growth figures for January, Bitcoin quickly retraced its gains and settled at around $98,015 amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties.
