Recently, the U.S. labor market has shown unexpected signs of weakness, triggering a series of reactions in the financial markets. The August non-farm employment data indicated that job growth was far below expectations, and this "surprising" data has reinforced market expectations that the Fed may cut interest rates.



However, in this macroeconomic context, the financial markets are exhibiting an unusual phenomenon of "logic divergence." Despite fluctuations in risk assets such as U.S. stocks, the cryptocurrency market, especially Bitcoin, has failed to break through key resistance levels. The price of Bitcoin reached a high of $113,300 in the past 24 hours but then quickly fell back, currently hovering around $110,000. This technical "double top breakout" signal clashes with the macro expectation of easing, leading the cryptocurrency market into a rare contradictory pattern.

In-depth analysis of the non-farm employment report for August reveals that the job market is showing signs of recession. The data shows that only 22,000 jobs were added in August, which is not only far below the market expectation of 75,000 but also marks the lowest increase in nearly nine months. Even more concerning is that the employment data for the previous months has also been revised downwards, with June even showing a net decrease in jobs, marking the first time since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

These data reflect that the vulnerability of the U.S. job market is increasing, which has led to a sharp rise in market expectations for a shift in Fed policy. However, against this backdrop, the cryptocurrency market has failed to respond positively to potential monetary easing policies as it usually does, and this anomaly has sparked widespread discussion among market participants.

Currently, the financial markets are at a critical turning point. On one hand, traditional financial markets are showing a sensitive reaction to potential monetary policy easing; on the other hand, the cryptocurrency market seems to be experiencing a phase independent of traditional macroeconomic factors. This divergence may indicate that the cryptocurrency market is forming its own unique dynamics, no longer simply following the footsteps of traditional financial markets.

In the future, investors and analysts will closely monitor whether this market divergence will persist and the long-term effects it may bring. At the same time, the Fed's policy direction and further developments in the labor market will undoubtedly continue to be key factors influencing the overall trend of the financial market.

How much longer will the bull run last? I've waited so long that the flowers have withered.
