Bitcoin Taps 5-Day Peak on Higher Than Expected US Job Report

Summary:
The US beat the expectations in terms of new nonfarm jobs reaching 261,000 such positions in October, rather than the estimated 205,000. Bitcoin reacted with immediate price fluctuations, dropping by a few hundred dollars before shooting up to a five-day high. CryptoPotato warned recently that there’re four major events coming at the start of November that could bring enhanced volatility to the crypto markets. The first – FOMC meeting – took place on Wednesday and the Federal Reserve increased the key interest rates by 75 basis points – exactly as expected. Nevertheless, this sent BTC on a ,000 rollercoaster that resulted in almost breaking below ,000. Earlier today, the world’s largest economy posted the results for nonfarm jobs in October, beating the estimations.
