Bitcoin prices dropped by nearly 8% in less than 24 hours due to several bearish factors, including disappointing jobs data. The cryptocurrency fell to $52,530 before bouncing back slightly to around $53,800. Analysts attributed the downward trend to macroeconomic factors, underwhelming ETF flows, and seasonality effects. The weak jobs data raised concerns about an economic slowdown, leading investors to be risk-averse and avoid assets like Bitcoin. The figures could also prompt Fed officials to lower rates, which has been historically seen as positive for Bitcoin. The lackluster jobs data and upcoming events such as the US Presidential Election debate and CPI and FOMC decisions could induce high volatility in the market. Bitcoin has also been experiencing lackluster demand lately. Analyst opinions on Bitcoin's future behavior vary, with some suggesting a drop to $49,000 and others highlighting a probable range between $55,000 and $65,000.
