Today, February 11, 2026, has become a boiling point for financial markets. The recently released data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics for January turned out to be significantly stronger than the most daring analysts expected, but painful for crypto portfolios.
📈 Key performance indicators of the report:
New jobs: +130,000 (forecast - 70,000). This is nearly double the expectations!
Unemployment rate: decreased to 4.3% (forecast: 4.4%).
⚠️ Reaction: BTC tried to hold, but the evening session confirmed — the market fears the Fed.
🔍 A strong labor market essentially "cancels" hopes for a quick reduction in interest rates. For Bitcoin, this means a continuation of the expensive liquidity period. We see capital flowing into safe assets (dollars and bonds) while BTC tests critical support levels.
📉 If Bitcoin fails to hold the current support zone before the daily candle closes, the next stop could be a psychological mark below. The market has entered wait mode.
⚠️ What to watch for:
On February 13, inflation data (CPI) will be released. A combination of a strong labor market and potential inflation decline could stimulate BTC growth.
