What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is gaining momentum near $83,000 as institutional interest strengthens. Strategy’s $1.9 billion BTC purchase—its second-largest in 2025—signals renewed confidence in the asset. Meanwhile, on-chain data from Santiment shows over 30,000 BTC withdrawn from exchanges in a week, indicating accumulation by long-term holders, which could limit selling pressure and support trend reversal. Adding to the optimism, Trump’s family deepens its involvement in the crypto space by investing in a Bitcoin mining company, further boosting investor confidence. BTC’s immediate resistance stands at $84,300, with support at $80,900.”

CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin (BTC) experienced fluctuations throughout the day, reaching an intraday high of ~$83.8K and a low of ~$81.3K, currently at $82.5K. The S&P 500 Index rose by 0.6%, closing at 5,611.85, despite concluding its worst first quarter in two and a half years with a 4.6% decline. In a significant move, Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy) acquired an additional 22,048 BTC for $1.92 billion, bringing its total holdings to 528,185 BTC. This purchase was primarily funded through the issuance of common stock, reflecting the company's ongoing commitment to its Bitcoin acquisition strategy.”

Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Bitcoin continues to experience enormous outflows, losing $630 million, casting doubt on short-term price stability. However, key points are that an $80K price for BTC still equates to a discount, suggesting long-term bull potential. Exchange reserves continue declining, registering strong holding sentiment, as institutional demand for Bitcoin ETFs remains unchecked even from recent profit-taking. Meanwhile, Dogecoin has a 30-40% possibility of a devastating collapse, joining uncertainty in the markets.” 

Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “As we step into the new financial year, the cryptocurrency market is buzzing with optimism. Bitcoin is holding steady at $83,400, while Ethereum showcases resilience at $2,053. Recent regulatory clarity and the SEC's positive developments regarding Ripple pave the way for greater institutional adoption. With historical trends suggesting April could yield significant gains, 2025 promises transformative growth. The evolving landscape presents exciting opportunities for investors to capitalize on this dynamic era of digital finance.” 

CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The market's volatility is rising as the tokens are experiencing significant bullish and bearish pressures at regular intervals. Bitcoin price recovered above $83,000 and Etherum above $1800, delaying a potential drop to crucial support. With this, the other altcoins gain some strength, which may be reversed anytime from now. While the global market capitalization is struggling to rise above $2.7 trillion, a notable rise of over 46% in the trading volume validates a strong presence of bulls. Regardless of the rise, the market sentiments continue to remain under fear, which raises the concerns of the upswing being short-lived.”
