US jobs data sparks Fed rate hike bets, causing Bitcoin price to drop 2%

Bitcoin briefly dropped to $27,000 due to unexpected non-farm payroll numbers, but quickly recovered. The volatility was caused by US employment data, which showed a jump in non-farm payrolls for September. This was viewed as bad news for risk assets, including crypto.

Overall, the market reaction to the employment data has put pressure on both markets and the Fed.
