Bitcoin\u2019s price stabilized at approximately $61,500 as the US added a surprising 254,000 jobs in September, bringing the unemployment rate down to 4.1%, according to data released<\/u><\/a> by the Bureau of Labor Statistics today. <\/p>\n
The figures exceeded economists\u2019 forecasts of 140,000 new jobs and an unemployment rate of 4.2%, signaling continued resilience in the labor market.<\/p>\n
Bitcoin, which had recently dropped from highs above $66,000 due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, found stability at around $61,500 following the jobs report. Analysts suggest that a robust US economy could ease uncertainty as the presidential election approaches, potentially supporting Bitcoin in the coming days.<\/p>\n
Following a strong economic report, the Nasdaq 100 rose 0.8%, the US 10-year yield climbed to 3.9%, and the dollar index gained 0.5%, while gold dipped 0.5% to $2,665 per ounce.\u00a0<\/p>\n

September\u2019s robust job growth was driven primarily by gains in the healthcare and leisure sectors, contributing to a strong service industry showing. Healthcare added 71,700 jobs, while leisure and hospitality saw an increase of 78,000 jobs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Construction also added 25,000 jobs, indicating strength in goods-producing industries despite a decline of 7,000 jobs in manufacturing. Average hourly earnings also rose by 0.4%, ahead of expectations, and were up 4% year-over-year.<\/p>\n
The positive economic news increased the probability of a 25 basis point rate cut at the Federal Reserve\u2019s upcoming November meeting to 94.5%, according to CME\u2019s FedWatch Tool<\/u><\/a>, while eliminating the chances for a larger 50 basis point cut. The labor market\u2019s strength suggests the economy may be on track for a soft landing, reducing fears of a recession.<\/p>\n
