BTC is largely unchanged after this morning's jobs report, which makes sense
Headline unemployment fell to 4.2% but the drop was driven by people leaving the labor force, not actual job gains
A murky report = no clear rate signal = crypto waits

Tomorrow's jobs report matters for crypto.
Any sense of a stronger-than-expected economy → markets price in the Fed hiking or holding longer → higher short-term rates. Consensus is +115k NFP (monthly jobs), 4.3% unemployment.
Any meaningful move higher in rate expectations may be bearish for crypto in the near term.
