What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin dropped to $62,000 due to long liquidations, but it has since recovered and is now trading above the $64,000 level. This price action represents a short-term pullback similar to previous instances when the market turns green, often followed by significant upward moves. The next immediate resistance for Bitcoin is at $65,500, with support at $63,900.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin witnessed a notable decline, falling over 10% within 72 hours after reaching a peak of $70,000. This sharp downturn is primarily attributed to heightened selling pressure and market volatility as traders responded to the rapid price surge. Analysts suggest that this price correction could be indicative of broader market trends and shifting investor sentiment.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Whales defied July's market turmoil by accumulating over 84,000 BTC. Bitcoin saw a jump of 2.95% in July and currently trades at $66.4K, up 1.1% in 24 hours. This massive accumulation suggests whales anticipate a bullish breakout from the $50,000 - $70,000 range. A potential September rate cut could further boost investor sentiment and liquidity, benefiting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “As of August 1, 2024, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $63,895, a decrease of $2,164.77. Short-term analysis suggests that Bitcoin has fallen below the rising trend channel, indicating a potential further decline or stagnation. Medium-term trends show Bitcoin in a rectangular pattern between $54,390 and $69,321, with a potential break below $57,000 or a breakout above $71,000. Long-term trends show that Bitcoin is rising, but recent support at $67,000 has been broken, signaling a possible further decline. Overall, the short- and medium-term outlook is negative, while the long-term outlook remains neutral.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The global cryptocurrency market continues to showcase resilience, with a market cap of $2.3 trillion and a notable increase in trading volume. The total trading volume over the last 24 hours reached $85.62 billion, marking a significant 13.24% rise. Bitcoin's dominance has also shown positive momentum, increasing to 55.27%, up by 0.46% over the day. Recent developments, such as the optimism surrounding potential Bitcoin ETF approvals and favorable regulatory changes in regions like Hong Kong, have contributed to this bullish sentiment. This suggests that Bitcoin continues to improve its position as a dominant player in the market, attracting both new and existing investors.”
