It was just several hours ago that the primary cryptocurrency topped $87,000 for the first time in about ten days after the softer-than-expected US jobs report came out.<\/p>\n

Although that should be considered bullish for risk-on assets, especially when it\u2019s aligned with the positive data from the PCE report earlier this week, the subsequent effects on BTC\u2019s price were dramatically different.<\/p>\n

After all, a weaker labor market combined with lower inflation<\/a> than expected should, at least in theory, reduce some of the pressure on the US Federal Reserve for more immediate hikes. Perhaps that\u2019s why BTC reacted to today\u2019s jobs report with an instant uptick from $86,000 to $87,200.<\/p>\n

That wasn\u2019t the surprising part of today\u2019s developments. What came next is somewhat unexpected. Bitcoin was rejected at that multi-day peak and tumbled<\/a> to $85,500 first, before the bears took complete control and drove it to under $84,000 minutes ago. This meant that BTC had crashed by well over $3,000 in hours after the release<\/a> of the US jobs report.<\/p>\n

The altcoins have followed suit. ETH tapped $2,750 earlier today but now sits $100 lower. XRP was rejected again at $1.55 and now sits at $1.45. ZEC, DOGE, LINK, XMR, and ADA have marked even more substantial losses of up to 7% daily.<\/p>\n

The total crypto market cap has shed almost $80 billion since the peak seen earlier today, and it\u2019s down to $2.880 trillion on CMC.<\/p>\n

Data from CoinGlass shows that the overall wrecked positions in the past 24 hours have jumped past $570 million. $186 million came in the past hour alone. Naturally, longs dominate, with 99% of the liquidated positions in the past hour coming from such positions.<\/p>\n

The single-highest wrecked order took place on Binance and was worth almost $12 million.<\/p>\n
