What to know : Bitcoin dropped toward $70,000 before the monthly U.S. jobs report, where unemployment is expected at 4.3% and nonfarm payrolls at 59,000. Broader markets are showing risk-off signals, with WTI crude rising above $83 per barrel, the Dollar Index strengthening above 99 and the Nasdaq-100-tracking Invesco QQQ ETF down about 0.5% in pre-market trading. Strategy (MSTR), Coinbase (COIN) and MARA Holdings (MARA) are all priced lower in pre-market trading.
Bitcoin is on the cusp of falling below $70,000 for the first time since Wednesday, after climbing as high as $74,000 earlier this week.
The decline reflects a broader risk-off shift in markets as investors position ahead of key U.S. macroeconomic data and the developing war in Iran.
For now, attention is focused on the U.S. jobs report due at 13:30 UTC. The unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged at 4.3% while nonfarm payrolls are forecast to drop to 59,000.
Labor market data is closely watched because it can influence expectations around Federal Reserve interest-rate policy, often leading investors to reduce risk exposure ahead of the release.
The war with Iran, nearing the end of its first week, is also contributing to market caution, pushing oil prices higher. WTI crude has climbed to around $83 per barrel, up more than 5% over the past 24 hours.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has strengthened above 99 and the yield on the 10-year Treasury has risen to roughly 4.16%. Equity markets are slightly weaker, with the Invesco QQQ ETF, which tracks the Nasdaq 100 index, down about 0.5% in pre-market trading.
Crypto related stocks including Strategy (MSTR), Coinbase (COIN), and MARA Holdings (MARA) are also lower in pre-market trading.
