Bitcoin was trading almost flat at $77,700 as crypto traders awaited Friday’s U.S. jobs report. The data could influence expectations for the Federal Reserve’s next major move. Ethereum was also holding near $2,400.

The market was in a wait-and-see mode ahead of the employment release. Bitcoin’s limited move and Ethereum’s similarly quiet trading reflected a period of caution as traders looked for a clearer signal from the U.S. data.

Friday’s report could either reinforce or alter the market’s view of the policy outlook. For crypto traders, that makes the release a key focus while Bitcoin remains near its current level.
