Bitcoin has reached its recently favored level of $106,500 again, even though Friday's U.S. labor market data did not support this rise. Ethereum also strengthened over the weekend, but today's Asian session brought many surprises. A major sell-off across the market served as a wake-up call for traders hoping for another "to the moon" rally.
The data showed that the U.S. labor market remains in good shape, which allows the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates at current levels for longer — a negative for risk assets, including Bitcoin. The strength of the U.S. labor market effectively dashes investors' hopes for a near-term monetary policy easing. Moreover, strong employment figures give the Fed the confidence to fight inflation without fearing an economic slowdown. This exerts pressure on rate-sensitive assets. Bitcoin, like other cryptocurrencies, is traditionally considered a risk asset. In an environment of high interest rates and shrinking liquidity, the appeal of such assets diminishes as investors shift toward more conservative and profitable instruments. Thus, the current macroeconomic situation is unfavorable for Bitcoin's growth.
Nevertheless, Bitcoin's long-term prospects remain positive despite short-term fluctuations. Michael Saylor recently stated that, given the accelerating pace of BTC adoption, he has become even more optimistic about his $13 million Bitcoin forecast by 2040. Saylor's optimism is supported by several factors, including growing institutional investor interest, an increasing number of companies accepting Bitcoin as payment, and the ongoing development of the cryptocurrency infrastructure. Regulation of cryptocurrencies is also becoming clearer and more structured, helping to attract new market participants.
Regarding the intraday strategy for the cryptocurrency market, I will continue to act based on any significant pullbacks in Bitcoin and Ethereum, counting on continuing the bullish market in the medium term, which remains intact.
