<p>The cryptocurrency market has recently seen a substantial price increase in several tokens, including <a href="https://u.today/shiba-inu-shib-vs-bonk-bonk-who-wins-this-hype-battle" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Shiba Inu (SHIB), Bonk (BONK)</a> and&nbsp;Dogwifhat (WIF).&nbsp;</p>
<p>This surprising rally follows weaker-than-expected April jobs data, prompting speculators to shift their bets into riskier assets, including cryptocurrencies.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Nonfarm payrolls grew by 175,000 in April, falling short of the Dow Jones consensus projection of 240,000. The unemployment rate rose to 3.9%, defying forecasts that it would remain at 3.8%. A broader jobless rate edged up to 7.4%, the highest level since November 2021.</p>
<p>Following the news, traders priced in a high probability of two interest rate cuts before the end of 2024.</p>

<p>Dog-themed cryptocurrency <a href="https://u.today/shiba-inu-heres-who-caused-15-shib-price-slide" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Shiba Inu (SHIB)</a> rose by 8% following the data release. At the time of writing, SHIB was up 5.88% in the last 24 hours to $0.00002382. If Shiba Inu ends higher today, it will be the third consecutive day of advances since May 1.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The token's market capitalization has risen, indicating a larger recovery on the cryptocurrency market. The price increase also coincides with the completion of the Shibarium hard fork.</p>
<p>Shiba Inu layer 2 Shibarium has completed its hard fork at block height 4504576, which will usher in lightning-fast transactions and predictable gas prices.</p>
<h2 id="bonk-s-price-action">BONK's price action</h2>
<p><a href="https://u.today/solana-dog-coin-bonk-bonk-soars-43-heres-key-reason" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Solana dog coin Bonk (BONK)</a> initiated a bullish reversal from lows of $0.00002062 on May 1. The asset is currently on a recovery path, riding a wave of bullish momentum sweeping the broader crypto market.&nbsp;</p>
<p>At the time of writing, BONK was up 12.41% in the last 24 hours to $0.000028 and is set to mark its third consecutive day of gains.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://u.today/dogwifhat-wif-surprise-how-solana-user-came-close-to-missing-epic-rally" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Dogwifhat (WIF)</a>, a meme coin based on Solana, has also seen a price increase, rising 9% in the last 24 hours to trade at $2.94 as of press time. WIF began a rebound from its lows of $2.29 on May 1 and has maintained bullish momentum.</p>
