LongbridgeAII'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other major cryptocurrencies dropped approximately 2% as a strong U.S. jobs report fueled expectations of Federal Reserve rate hikes, pushing Bitcoin below $80,000. Despite the decline, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded significant inflows of $730.87 million, while $523 million in crypto positions were liquidated. Analysts note that holding key support levels could lead to a breakout toward $85,000.

Bitcoin is back below $80,000 after a surprisingly strong jobs report reignited the prospects of the Federal Reserve raising rates at its upcoming meeting.

Trader Notes:

Trader Jelle said Bitcoin is nearing a key market structure break. Clearing previous highs would flip the higher time frame structure bullish, with the weekly close crucial for confirmation.

Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez highlighted Bitcoin is retesting the $80,600 breakout level after reaching $82,280. Holding that support could open the door to $85,000.
