Crypto Market on Edge as 'Huge' Macro Week Unfolds with Key Data and Earnings
The cryptocurrency market is at a fragile state as it faces another eventful week. The weekend's developments on the Middle East front did little to boost Bitcoin and altcoins, and Trump's reassurances about an upcoming deal for the Strait of Hormuz were met with skepticism.
This week is considered 'huge' by analysts, combining geopolitical events, labor market data, manufacturing activity, and corporate earnings. The impact of US President Donald Trump's cancellation of planned military strikes against Iran was limited to a brief surge in Bitcoin prices, which fell back below $63,000 on Monday morning.
The key events in focus include the July ISM Manufacturing PMI, which will be announced later today, and Friday's July Nonfarm Payrolls report. A stronger labor market could reduce expectations for policy easing, while weaker data may lead to further monetary stimulus.
