Over the last week, Bitcoin was up 0.8% whereas Ethereum was down 0.2%. Among the major altcoins, BNB, XRP, Solana, Tron, Dogecoin, Hyperliquid and Cardano corrected upto 4.6%.

Riya Sehgal, Research Analyst, Delta Exchange said crypto markets saw a sharp macro-driven whipsaw after September U.S. nonfarm payrolls rose by just 29,000 versus 90,000 expected, while unemployment increased to 4.2% from 4.1%.

Technically, Bitcoin’s rejection from the 86,000-87,200 supply zone has brought the price back near $84,500. Ethereum mirrored the move, rejecting from roughly $2,775 and retreating toward $2,680.”

Sehgal further said that with Bitcoin open interest having risen by roughly $2.3 billion and funding rates elevated, leverage remains an important source of near-term volatility alongside Treasury yields.
