What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is stabilising near the $95,000 level after hitting a low of $92,100 following the feds meeting last week. The correction has increased retail activity in the market with “Buy the Dip” mentions going up to an 8-month high on social media. Further to its first Price Discovery Corrections of this rally, BTC is preparing for bulls to regain control at the support levels. Bitcoin faces its next resistance at $99,300 with support standing at $93,100.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “The market continues to watch Bitcoin closely, poised for a move back above $100,000 from current consolidation near $95,460. Sentimental analysis of conditions suggests a recovery against prior sentiment contraction, despite ETF outflows and profit bookings. A move above $100,000 would open up optimism-aimed toward $125,000 for BTC. A failure to maintain above $85,000 will lead it downward in more extended corrections. Meanwhile, XRP is firmly settled over $2.20, there seems optimism for other catalysts, notably RLUSD expansion and ETF approval that might range into $3-$7 in midterm. The market, at the time being, appears a bit skeptical yet leaning toward being bullish. The macroeconomic environment remains improving, with a resurgence of activity coming from smart investors in the market. Investors should remain cautious yet optimistic in this highly volatile market.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin (BTC/USD) is currently trading around $95,000, retreating from its December 2024 peak of $108,300. Despite a broader market pullback, institutional interest remains strong, with MicroStrategy making its largest purchase of 55,500 BTC at nearly $97,000. Proposed U.S. legislation, including a potential Bitcoin reserve, could impact the national debt, with projections suggesting a 35% reduction by 2049. Social media sentiment is negative, but contrarian analysis suggests this could signal a rebound. Short-term forecasts point to a possible recovery above $100,000, with long-term predictions estimating Bitcoin could exceed $160,000 by 2025 and $42.3 million by 2049.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “President-elect Donald Trump announced the appointment of Bo Hines as the executive director of the newly formed Presidential Council of Advisers for Digital Assets, also known as the "Crypto Council." This council aims to foster innovation and growth in the digital assets sector. Trump's commitment to making the U.S. a global leader in cryptocurrency is evident, as he emphasizes that this initiative will be pivotal for technological advancement in the nation. The market is optimistic about these developments, anticipating increased regulatory clarity and support for the crypto industry.”
