Non-farm payroll data has once again played out its classic script — job openings are shrinking, yet unemployment rates are declining. Behind these seemingly contradictory figures lies the true dilemma of today's employment market.

For macro-focused traders, such data contradictions frequently trigger market volatility. Fed policy expectations, valuation of risk assets — everything is searching for clues in these numerical shifts. And the crypto market, as a representative of risk assets, cannot escape the rhythm of this round of economic data.
