Bitcoin's recent rally came to an end on Friday as traders reassessed the outlook for Federal Reserve policy following a stronger-than-expected US jobs report. The August non-farm payrolls surged to 162K, prompting a shift in market expectations and causing Bitcoin to tumble back under the critical $80,000 mark.
