Bitcoin rests at $28,000 as US jobs data fuel fresh bets on Fed rate hikes
Bitcoin’s price is still hovering around $28,000 at the end of the week as the BTC/USD pair has avoided volatility for the past few days. The much-anticipated US nonfarm payrolls figure on April 7 came in slightly below expectations, suggesting that unemployment is rising at a slower pace than forecast.
The data also raised market expectations that the Federal Reserve would continue to raise interest rates to fight inflation – at the expense of crypto and risk asset performance.
Michaël van de Poppe, founder and CEO of the trading company Eight, summarized his expectations. “Bitcoin remains in a boring state of mind. Weeks of consolidation as legacy altcoins break out,” he noted. “Still looking for support here that needs to sustain $27,600. If that is lost, $25,000 to $25,400 is likely. Hold here by NFP -> $30k next.”
