US Job Market Stagnation Intensifies Macro Headwinds; Bitcoin Faces Liquidation Risks

As of December 15, the U.S. labor market shows cooling signs, with unemployment rising to 4.4% amid low hiring and growing layoffs, raising concerns about economic pressure by 2026—risks the Fed has acknowledged. Against this backdrop, Bitcoin is consolidating, facing strong liquidation resistance around $90,144–$91,300 and key support at $87,500, where a breakdown could trigger further deleveraging. Analysts note BTC must hold above resistance, especially ahead of upcoming global central bank rate decisions that will shape 2026 liquidity expectations.
