Crypto Market Rebounds on Jobs Report Expectations and Easing Yields
The crypto market is experiencing a rebound, driven by various catalysts that are supporting the recovery. The U.S. jobs report is expected to be released soon, and economists predict that payroll growth will slow down to around 90,000, with unemployment forecast at 4.1%. This has led to a repositioning of traders ahead of the report, which is critical for October rate expectations.
Treasury yields have also eased from Thursday's extreme, when the 10-year yield touched 5.34%, although it remains around 5.25%, keeping financial conditions tight. Institutional demand is another major support, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracting about $2.65 billion in September.
Derivatives positioning is also recovering, with Bitcoin open interest rebuilding alongside price. The result is a market-wide rebound driven by jobs-report positioning, Fed expectations, institutional flows, easing yields, and renewed derivatives activity.
