Crypto Markets in Holding Pattern Ahead of Key Jobs Report
The global crypto market capitalization stood at $2.28 trillion on August 7, 2026, roughly flat over the past 24 hours.
Markets are in a holding pattern ahead of today's US July jobs report, which will offer a clear signal on Federal Reserve rate-cut expectations for September.
A weak jobs print would likely be read as supportive for risk assets, including crypto, while a strong number could reinforce near-term caution.
