US jobless claims came in at 199K for the week ending December 27, beating the consensus estimate of 220K. More importantly, continuing claims dropped to 1.866M in the week of December 20, down from the previous 1.923M. These numbers suggest a tightening labor market and resilience in employment—exactly the kind of macro backdrop that could shift risk appetite in digital asset markets. When labor conditions stabilize or improve, it typically signals economic confidence that flows into higher-beta assets like crypto.

Will the currency rise or fall with improving employment data? This logic is a bit questionable...

Unemployment data looks good, but whether the crypto market will rise or not still depends on what the Fed thinks...

When US stock data improves, they want to push the market up. I can see through this trick with my eyes closed... Alright, let's just consider this time as genuine.

The labor market is so robust, is it time for the crypto world to take off?

Good data is here, US stock retail investors are once again dreaming of limit-up, while our crypto circle just waits to take over the bag [laugh cry]
What does the improvement in unemployment rate have to do with us? Anyway, when the bulls are excited, it's always a time to go all-in
The dollar is stable, jobs are stable, now it's BTC's turn to take off? I'll just quietly watch your dreams of getting rich burst
Is this all the data? It’s as if we’re about to make a million a month tomorrow. Wake up, everyone
Low unemployment rate = more retail investors with money to enter. I give this logic a full score
Good news is good news, but the bad news is this news has already been hyped up in advance
Now it's all good, another excuse to rush in
