The job market's collapsing. Layoffs keep piling up, hiring has basically frozen, and wage pressure is mounting across sectors. This kind of economic deterioration usually spells trouble for risk assets—think crypto, tech stocks, and growth plays. When employment weakens, consumer spending follows, central banks face more pressure to ease policy, and investors get nervous about recession signals. For the crypto space, it's another reminder that macro conditions matter more than we sometimes admit. Altseason tends to stall when the real economy shows cracks.

Damn, here we go again. Every time there's an economic problem, they pass the buck to macro... Forget it, just hold the coins and sleep.

When the macro is bad, the crypto market has to accept it. Don't expect any altseason.

The macro environment has collapsed, and the crypto world is following suit—this isn't anything new, right?

Here it comes again. As soon as the layoffs start, altcoins begin to plunge. I was previously all-in on small-cap coins for a bottom-fishing attempt, and now the liquidation price is almost reached. I really wish I had known earlier.

Here we go again, the macro has collapsed, and the crypto market is going to be sacrificed again. I’ve said it before, technical support is useless; once the big players start to cut, it's over.
