The U.S. jobs report for September 2025 revealed a rise in unemployment to 4.4%, marking the highest level since October 2021, with 119,000 jobs added. This development has contributed to a decline in Bitcoin prices, which fell below $82,000 as market participants reacted to potential shifts in Federal Reserve policy and engaged in panic selling. The report's impact was significant, leading to over $2 billion in cryptocurrency liquidations, including $962 million in Bitcoin. The cancellation of the October jobs report due to a government shutdown and the delay of November data until after the December FOMC meeting have further fueled market uncertainty, prompting traders to reassess their expectations for future rate cuts.
