Crypto Market Stagnates Amid Soft Labour Market and In-Line Inflation

The cryptocurrency market has been in a holding pattern lately, with most of the top 10 assets struggling to gain traction. Only two coins, TRON and Hyperliquid, are up for the year, with TRON increasing by 18% and Hyperliquid almost doubling in value.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, is down 27% from its January highs, while Ethereum has lost 36% of its value since then. XRP is the worst performer among the top 10 coins, having dropped by over 45%.

The lackluster performance can be attributed to several factors, including a softening labour market and in-line inflation data, which did not provide any significant catalyst for the market.
