Bitcoin Price Drops Below US$70,000: US Job Data and ECB Rate Cut

[Alice Luna]

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share some news about Bitcoin dropping below US$70,000. Apparently, this happened because of some mixed data about jobs in the US and the European Central Bank cutting its rates.

So, the US jobs report was kind of mixed - more jobs were created, but the unemployment rate also went up to 4%. This made the value of Bitcoin go down. It seems like the job market is showing some strength, but there are still some economic issues going on.

Even though hourly earnings went up in May and there was an increase in year-over-year earnings, the overall growth in weekly paychecks slowed down compared to last year.

Bitcoin was trading at US$69,159 at 4:30 p.m. ET. And then, the European Central Bank decided to lower its lending rate, which might make alternative assets like Bitcoin more attractive. This, combined with more money flowing into US Bitcoin ETFs, could impact Bitcoin's value in the short term.
