- Bitcoin, Ethereum Slip as US Job Growth Exceeds October Forecast — this brief
The US Department of Labor reported 165,000 non-farm jobs created in October 2026, while unemployment remained at 4.1%, according to Crypto Economy. The employment update was the principal macro development cited alongside softer cryptocurrency prices, although the available coverage does not establish a direct causal relationship between the two.
Crypto Economy reported that 
Bitcoin retreated to $75,854 and 
Ethereum to about $2,230. It also said spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds recorded combined net outflows exceeding $530 million in the preceding session, adding a fund-flow signal to the market backdrop.
Live pricing showed Bitcoin at $75,996, down 0.09% over 24 hours and 1.95% over seven days. Its market capitalization stood at $1.53 trillion. Ethereum was $2,246.07, up 0.32% over 24 hours but down 0.15% over seven days, with a $274.45 billion market capitalization.
The broader crypto market was flat at a $2.62 trillion total capitalization, while the Fear & Greed index registered 25, classified as extreme fear. The contrast between Bitcoin’s seven-day decline and Ethereum’s nearly unchanged weekly performance is notable, but neither asset displayed a sharp move in the latest 24-hour session.
The employment figure and ETF outflows provide context for monitoring near-term sentiment, but the single available report leaves the response of Bitcoin and Ethereum subdued in the latest session. Follow-up market flows, the employment data’s influence on expectations and whether Bitcoin’s weekly loss persists are the clearest areas to watch.
