December just dropped some solid numbers—hiring surged to levels we haven't seen in three years, and layoffs actually fell off. Pretty interesting timing when you think about what this means for market sentiment and consumer confidence.

According to recent data, the employment momentum is real. More hiring, fewer pink slips. It's the kind of macro backdrop that usually filters down into how people feel about taking on risk—whether that's in traditional markets or crypto.

When the job market tightens up and people feel more secure, it tends to ripple through everything. Could be worth watching how this plays out for overall market appetite in the months ahead.
