The change in investor behavior coincides with Bitcoin’s price surge during the final month of 2024. Furthermore, the market has reacted to a United States non-farm payroll report that was released recently. The report for January recorded 143,000 new jobs, a figure lower than the forecast of 169,000.
Data indicates that this number is the lowest since October of the previous year. Colin Wu, a crypto market journalist, noted that such economic data has influenced investor decisions. As traditional safe-haven assets lose their appeal, funds have shifted into Bitcoin.
Following the release of the jobs report, Bitcoin’s market price increased by 3.60 percent, and the coin briefly reached the $100,000 level. However, subsequent trading activity on an hourly chart showed a red candle, and the current price stands at $98,544 per coin.
Retail investors have raised their Bitcoin accumulation rate in response to recent price movements and economic reports. The increased purchase rate, now at 10,627 coins per day, reflects a change in behavior compared to the previous average.
The United States announced that the number of new non-farm payrolls in January was 143,000, lower than the expected 169,000, the lowest since October last year. The unemployment rate in January was 4%, expected to be 4.10%, and the previous value was 4.10%.
