Bitcoin dips below $80K after strong US jobs data boosts Fed rate hike bets

Bitcoin price fell below $80,000 following stronger-than-expected US employment data that increased expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike. The US added 162,000 jobs in August, keeping unemployment steady at 4.1%, which raised the probability of a Fed rate increase in September to 61%. This led to selling pressure on Bitcoin, which faced resistance near $82,500 and support around $78,190. Analysts warn of a possible bull trap unless Bitcoin breaks above $82,500 with strong volume, while the upcoming US inflation report on September 11 could influence Bitcoin's next move.
