What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex, told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is holding steady around $93,500, with multiple indicators pointing to a strong bullish trend. Beyond robust Bitcoin ETF inflows of over $3 billion, major exchanges recorded outflows of 36,500 BTC, typically a sign of growing investor confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value. Supporting this view, Glassnode data reveals a sharp rise in Whale accumulations, with wallets holding over 10,000 BTC increasing from 124,000 to 137,600 over the past month. This steady accumulation strengthens Bitcoin’s upward momentum. For now, BTC faces immediate resistance at $96,000, while support remains at $90,500.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “BTC crossed the $95,000 mark on Friday night for the first time in two months, and is currently trading around $93,200, holding firmly above its 20-, 50-, and 100-day moving averages. Meanwhile, U.S. spot BTC ETFs recorded inflows of $3.06 billion last week, signaling strong investor confidence. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday evening that federal income taxes could be “substantially reduced” or even eliminated once the proposed trade tariffs take full effect — a development that may impact the U.S. stock market when it opens today.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Bitcoin's uptrend is building momentum, with hopes running high for a breakout beyond earlier all-time highs. With its recent surge of almost 11% last week, eyes are now set on the next significant levels of resistance. Bitcoin's price action closely resembles earlier patterns that have tended to lead large rallies. Indications from the golden ratio multiplier indicate that Bitcoin could surge up to $124,000. In spite of periodic market corrections, the overall sentiment is extremely bullish, driven by growing institutional demand, positive macroeconomic factors, and improving fundamentals.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin continues to command the spotlight in the global financial landscape, trading confidently above $93,000 despite short-term fluctuations. Institutional interest remains robust, with major players aggressively accumulating, tightening supply and fueling bullish momentum. As traditional markets face uncertainty, Bitcoin's resilience shines through, reinforcing its position as a premier digital asset. Analysts eye the $94,600 mark as the next key breakout level, with the $100,000 milestone back within reach. Technical indicators suggest a brief consolidation, offering strategic entry opportunities for investors. With market sentiment firmly optimistic, Bitcoin’s journey is far from over—ushering in a new era of financial evolution.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The latest stance by SEC leaders will result in stronger user protection laws and innovation-friendly policies which will shape the future of the digital asset industry globally. Clarity on regulations in the largest economy of the world will boost investor confidence and fuel the entrepreneurial spirit to boost digital asset adoption. Bitcoin is currently trading at $93,000 level and as per some experts, it is expected to touch the $200k mark by the end of 2025.”
CoinDCX Research Team noted, “Despite significant upward pressure, the crypto markets have remained largely stable throughout the past weekend, demonstrating bulls being self-assured of maintaining a steep ascending trend. Bitcoin price sustains above $93,000, while Ethereum above $1700, XRP trading close to $2.5, BinanceCoin above $600 while Solana fails to reach $150. Among the top gainers are Pudgy Penguins (PENGU), Walrus (WAL), Monero (XMR) and Fartcoin (FARTCOIN). Besides, Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) BitTorrent (BTT). Bitcoin SV (BSV) and Helium (HNT) face notable losses.”
