US jobs data beats expectations, fueling fears of Fed rate hike and pushing Ethereum below $2,240.

The US economy added 165,000 jobs in October, far exceeding the expected 65,000, and lowering unemployment to 4.1%. This strong labor market increased the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate hike in December to around 80%, causing Ethereum's price to drop about 6.4% to around $2,236, its lowest since August. The rate hike prospect makes risk assets like cryptocurrencies less attractive due to higher borrowing costs and a stronger dollar. Investors are also seeing significant outflows from US spot Ether ETFs, adding downward pressure. The next Fed meeting on December 8-9 will be crucial for Ethereum's price direction.

Ethereum price movements amid strong US jobs data provide context for cryptocurrency market activity. For readers following crypto markets, here is Pluang's snapshot as of Nov 06, 2026 22:21 WIB: out of 50 major cryptocurrencies, 24 rose and 25 fell today. Notable movers include EOS up 8.13% to Rp12.649 with a typical hold time of 87 days, XRP down 5.99% to Rp21.420 with 66% sell order activity and a 73-day hold time, and Bitcoin Cash down 5.00% to Rp4.839.237 with 91% buy order activity and a 69-day hold time.
