Rate Cut Expectations Amid U.S. Jobs Report

Ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting, traders are pricing in the possibility of a 25 or 50 basis point interest rate cut, with today’s US jobs report expected to be a key deciding factor. Market analysts believe the report will influence Bitcoin’s volatility as institutional investors and ETFs continue to navigate the economic outlook.
