Crypto stocks missed an opportunity to hit a rally after the stock market recorded huge gains. The US market picked up gains of close at highs following a swing in macro factors linked to the newly released U.S. Job data. According to the Labour Department, the US economy gained 206,000 jobs in June, a decline from May figures.
Furthermore, the unemployment rate grew to 4.1% from 4% with commentators tipping stronger reasons for interest rate cuts. The Federal Reserve announcing rate cuts is a bullish signal as more funds will flow to the maker while the reverse tightens market activities. Crypto stocks would benefit from a rate cut however, several factors led to a bearish trend in these assets.
Crypto Stocks Remain Red
A plethora of crypto stocks continue negative trading to end the week extending weekly losses. Coinbase (COIN), the largest digital asset exchange by volume in the United States dropped 0.56% trading at $223. The asset’s weekly numbers are still slightly negative with 0.13% while long-term outflows are at 11%.

Microsoft, Apple, and Alphabet notched positive numbers at market close. Crypto assets were down because of the price fall and liquidations among cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin price fell below $55,000 while altcoins and meme coins saw a similar decline. Outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs also contributed to the bearish sentiment.
