According to the source, Bitcoin's price dropped following the release of a strong U.S. jobs report, which cast doubts on potential Federal Reserve rate cuts.

According to @BullTheoryio, the annual BLS benchmark revision revealed that the U.S. economy created significantly fewer jobs in 2025 than initially reported, with total job growth revised down to just 181,000 for the year. This represents a sharp slowdown compared to 2024's 1,459,000 added jobs. The revision erased 862,000 jobs, marking the largest downward adjustment since the 2009 financial crisis. Federal employment also fell to its lowest level in 60 years, highlighting weakening labor market conditions that could elevate recession risks and pressure the Federal Reserve to adjust monetary policies.

According to @StockMKTNewz, Kalshi has projected probabilities for Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2026. The platform assigns a 25% chance for two rate cuts, 24% for three rate cuts, and 17% for a single rate cut. These predictions could influence trading strategies depending on expected monetary policy adjustments.

According to Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL), Bitcoin (BTC) is approaching a potential higher low as market conditions evolve. He notes that a rising unemployment rate may push the Federal Reserve towards cutting interest rates, which could lead to declining yields. While Gold and Silver are expected to experience short-term declines, Bitcoin may see a slight dip before rallying later this month. Van de Poppe suggests that monetary easing could soon resume, potentially impacting crypto markets favorably.

According to @KobeissiLetter, a circulating clip misrepresents President Trump's comments, suggesting he regretted nominating Kevin Warsh for Fed Chair. However, the clarification indicates Trump was referring to his 2017 appointment of Jerome Powell as Fed Chair, influenced by his Treasury Secretary.

According to @BullTheoryio, former President Donald Trump stated that the U.S. economy could experience growth up to 15% under the leadership of Kevin Warsh. Trump expressed regret over selecting Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve Chair in 2017, calling it a 'big mistake,' and highlighted Warsh's potential to deliver impactful economic policies. This statement may influence investor sentiment and future economic projections.

According to @w_thejazz, the disparity between the paper and physical silver prices is driven by an interconnected system involving the Federal Reserve, COMEX, and major banks like JPMorgan, Citibank, and HSBC. These banks not only own significant shares in the Federal Reserve but also control physical silver vaults and hold substantial short positions in the silver market. This structural conflict allows them to influence silver pricing while benefiting from access to Federal Reserve liquidity. The suggested way to disrupt this cycle is through physical delivery, forcing the market to align with actual silver availability.

According to @BullTheoryio, Truflation data indicates U.S. inflation at approximately 0.68%, while economic challenges such as layoffs, credit defaults, and bankruptcies are increasing. Despite these indicators, the Federal Reserve maintains that the economy remains strong, raising concerns about the potential delay in implementing interest rate cuts.

According to Charlie Bilello, US Producer Prices increased about 4.8% per year over the last five years and more than 26% in total. According to Charlie Bilello, this trajectory makes the Federal Reserve’s 2% inflation goal unrealistic in practice. According to Charlie Bilello, the Fed should not cut interest rates this year, implying firmer policy for longer. According to Charlie Bilello, traders should reassess rate cut expectations, with potential support for Treasury yields and caution for rate sensitive equities under a higher-for-longer monetary policy stance.

According to @KobeissiLetter, the US Financial Conditions Index has declined to 98.3, marking the lowest level since early 2022. According to @KobeissiLetter, financial conditions have been in a firm downtrend for roughly 3.5 years. According to @KobeissiLetter, the Federal Reserve has cut rates by 175 basis points since September 2024, bringing the policy rate to 3.75%.

According to glassnode, the nomination of Kevin Warsh as Fed Chair and a hotter-than-expected PPI triggered a hawkish shock that pushed commodities and crypto lower. According to glassnode, BTC options data sheds light on positioning, implied volatility, and sentiment beneath the move.

According to Gary Black, US stocks fell and Treasury yields rose as President Trump prepared to nominate Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve chair. According to Gary Black, Warsh is viewed as more hawkish on monetary policy and inflation than other contenders, contradicting Trump’s push for lower interest rates. According to Gary Black, the confirmation path may be complicated because Senator Thom Tillis vowed to block any Trump Fed nominees until an investigation into the central bank’s renovation is resolved. According to Gary Black, Trump is expected to announce his choice for Fed chair on Friday morning.

According to @AggrNews, Donald Trump has narrowed the Federal Reserve Chair selection to Kevin Warsh and Rick Rieder and is leaning toward Warsh, with the update attributed to reporting via @rachaelmbade (source: @AggrNews). According to @AggrNews, Trump has ruled out Kevin Hassett for the role (source: @AggrNews). According to @AggrNews, Trump met both Warsh and Rieder at the White House and plans to announce the pick tomorrow morning (source: @AggrNews).

According to @GreeksLive, the first monthly options expiration of 2026 arrives tomorrow with over 25% of options positions set to expire. According to @GreeksLive, the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged and there are no major near-term catalysts, keeping price action stable with implied volatility muted into expiry. According to @GreeksLive, this setup indicates a steady tape around the expiration window with IV remaining compressed.

According to Charlie Bilello, multiple U.S. macro indicators are at extremes: stocks, home prices, gold and silver, money supply, and national debt are all at all-time highs, CPI inflation has run above 4% per year since 2020—more than twice the Federal Reserve’s target—and the Fed is expected to cut interest rates two more times this year, underscoring elevated asset prices alongside ongoing rate-cut expectations (source: Charlie Bilello).
