Under pressure for the past several days, the price of bitcoin (BTC) initially rose to $97,500, while the DXY index rose to 107.8.

The Fed cut its benchmark fed funds rate 100 basis points over the last four months of 2024, and investors weeks ago were expecting more of the same in 2025.

A string of strong economic and inflation veri since, however, has had the Fed quickly backtracking on its dovishness and traders pricing out the odds of any further policy ease. Prior to this morning’s jobs numbers, CME FedWatch was showing just a 15% chance of a March rate cut.
