Bitcoin drops over 2% after strong U.S. jobs data sparks Fed rate hike fears

Bitcoin fell more than 2% on Friday, dropping from $81,300 to a low of $78,600 after U.S. August jobs data showed a stronger-than-expected 162,000 payroll increase, raising expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike. Despite the pullback, Bitcoin is set for a third consecutive weekly gain of about 3%, fueled by a recent $20,000 rally over 20 days and strong inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, led by BlackRock. Market watchers note this rally caused historic leveraged position liquidations worth $11.4 billion. The Federal Reserve's upcoming decisions remain a key focus for investors.
