Strong jobs pressure Bitcoin as ETH stalls under 3,000 dollars

Jobs surprise cools Bitcoin rate cut rally

XRP supply squeeze, traders watch 2026 rally setup

Jobs surprise cools Bitcoin rate cut rally

US jobless claims drop, so fast Fed easing looks less likely and Bitcoin feels the pressure.

  • [Jobless claims drop]: New claims fell to 199,000, below 200,000 forecasts and signaling a strong labor market.

  • [Rate cut risk]: A firm labor market gives the Fed less reason to cut rates early in 2026, which keeps macro pressure on BTC.

  • [Trading takeaway]: You watch rate expectations and liquidity, not only price, before adding short term Bitcoin risk.

“The strong labor data is likely dampening the speculative frenzy.”

Wall Street Isn’t Warning You, But This Chart Might

Vanguard just projected public markets may return only 5% annually over the next decade. In a 2024 report, Goldman Sachs forecasted the S&P 500 may return just 3% annually for the same time frame—stats that put current valuations in the 7th percentile of history.

Translation? The gains we’ve seen over the past few years might not continue for quite a while.

Meanwhile, another asset class—almost entirely uncorrelated to the S&P 500 historically—has overall outpaced it for decades (1995-2024), according to Masterworks data.

Masterworks lets everyday investors invest in shares of multimillion-dollar artworks by legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso.

And they’re not just buying. They’re exiting—with net annualized returns like 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5% among their 23 sales.*

Wall Street won’t talk about this. But the wealthy already are. Shares in new offerings can sell quickly but…

ETH stuck below 3,000 dollars as fees and ETF flows fade

Ether moves in a tight range while weak leverage and soft ETF demand cap recovery into 2026.

  • [Price range]: ETH trades near 2,964 dollars inside a narrow 4 percent band, with resistance near 3,000 dollars and support around 2,900 dollars.

  • [Low leverage]: Monthly futures show about a 3 percent annualized premium, below the 5 percent level that signals strong demand for long positions.

  • [Weak demand]: Network fees and DApp revenue sit well under the October peak and Ether ETFs see net outflows, so your bull case needs stronger on chain use.

“A sustainable ETH rally will require stronger network activity and DApp demand to offset weak leverage and ETF flows.”
