Bitcoin (BTC) saw a precipitous descent, dipping below $95,000, in the wake of surprisingly resilient U.S. job figures, as per QCP Capital. The U.S. Labor Department’s JOLTS report disclosed 8.1 million job vacancies, starkly surpassing the anticipated 7.74 million. This unexpected vigor in the labor sector precipitated a risk-off atmosphere in financial arenas, propelling long-term bond yields upward and instigating a divestment in assets sensitive to risk.

BTC hit an intraday low of $92,502 on Wednesday.

QCP pointed out that bitcoin’s abrupt fall resulted in liquidations amounting to roughly $206 million in a mere hour. This volatility spilled over into stock markets, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 indices displaying significant vulnerability. The synchronized response illuminates bitcoin’s growing linkage with the wider financial domain, especially during periods of economic ambiguity.

Inflows into bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have significantly declined by 94%, reducing to $52.9 million from $987 million, according to QCP. Among these, Blackrock’s IBIT was an exception, attracting $596.11 million in investments, bucking the general trend of outflows. On the other hand, Ark and 21shares saw considerable capital exodus, with $212.55 million withdrawn from the ARKB fund. This variance reflects evolving investor attitudes within the cryptocurrency sphere.

QCP further highlighted the significance of forthcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decision and the Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) data release, which are poised to exert substantial sway over bitcoin’s price path. The company posited that this recent retraction might merely be a brief interlude, hinting at potential for an enthusiastic rally driven by market positivity. The optimism, QCP analysts noted, may stem from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump taking office in 12 days.

“With market anticipation building, we believe bitcoin’s pullback is merely a pause, setting the stage for a bullish rally as Trump’s inauguration fuels optimism,” QCP analysts wrote on Wednesday.
