Bitcoin holding a steady course above $28k

Bitcoin has been hovering above the $28,000 level over the last few days, and barely moving north or south from $28,150 over the last 24 hours.

Ethereum has been trading just above $1,800, with other major cryptos trading largely flat on the day.

The big news to watch this week is the March jobs report expected on Friday. Analysts expect a slowdown in the increase in jobs and a steady unemployment rate, a marked slowdown from January, which may indicate that raised interest rates are working as intended.
