Bitcoin continued to trade near the $67,000 level following a stronger-than-expected US jobs report, with nonfarm payrolls rising 178,000 in March and unemployment falling to 4.3%. The resilience at this level comes as derivatives data and options skew suggest traders are bracing for potential downside, despite altcoins rallying on low liquidity. The Ethereum Foundation completed its planned staking commitment, depositing the bulk of its 70,000 ETH target in a single session worth $93 million, completing a program announced in February to turn dormant treasury holdings into yield-generating positions. Market analysts note that while institutional buyers continue accumulating, overall bitcoin demand is contracting at -63,000 BTC per month, with large holders distributing nearly 188,000 BTC over the past year.
