Cryptocurrency markets remained stagnant over the weekend following a historic $700 billion rout, but investors are bracing for potential volatility as a critical week of U.S. economic data releases looms. With Bitcoin recovering to $71,000 yet remaining 44% below its peak, and Ether holding at $2,100 but down 58% from its high, the market’s immediate direction hinges on key inflation and labor reports that will directly influence Federal Reserve policy.
