Bitcoin briefly rose to $76,800 after US initial jobless claims fell to 196,000, signaling a strong labor market that supports the Federal Reserve's recent rate hike to 3.75%-4.00%. The strong job data reduces pressure on the Fed to cut rates soon and raises the likelihood of another rate increase this year, which could weigh on Bitcoin by making safer assets more attractive. Bitcoin faces resistance at $77,500 and $80,500-$82,000, with analysts noting it needs to break these levels for stronger momentum. Political setbacks for crypto regulation also add uncertainty to Bitcoin's near-term outlook.
