What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin remains range-bound between $95,000 and $98,000 as investors await a catalyst for the next rally. Meanwhile, Ethereum continues its bull run, gaining nearly 50% this month. Other coins like XRP too are on an uptrend becoming the 3rd largest coin with a market cap of $154 billion, going up 440% in just one month. This trend is likely to spread to other coins as well with the Altcoin index getting stronger at 83.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin (BTC) remains at $96,113, struggling to break $98,000 since Nov. 25, despite a 38% monthly gain. Concerns linger over consolidation below the $100,000 mark, which could embolden bearish strategies. Futures show resilience with a 17% annualized premium, signalling solid but cautious bullish demand. Institutional interest stays strong: MicroStrategy bought 15,400 BTC last week at $95,976, boosting its holdings to 402,100 BTC, now worth $38.4 billion — a 64% rise.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Bitcoin's pullback to below $98,000 has sparked some concerns, but the derivatives and futures markets tell a different story. Traders are willing to pay a 17% annualized premium for leveraged BTC positions, which reflects a healthy demand. The Bitcoin options markets also show confidence, as options are trading at an 8% discount, a sign of reduced hedging demand and bullish sentiment. The stability in futures markets is further seen as funding rates for perpetual contracts sit within the neutral range at 1.4%. It had never moved above 3.5% last week, without presenting an immediate risk of liquidation, and further proved a balanced leverage environment.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin's price is consolidating below $100K, with investors awaiting a breakout to reach this milestone. Recently, BTC has been testing resistance levels but has failed to break through. The $90K support remains key, and if it's broken, a pullback to $80K could occur. On the 4-hour chart, BTC is forming a symmetrical triangle, suggesting that a breakout could lead to a bullish move above $100K. On-chain data shows strong accumulation, with negative netflows indicating investors are buying BTC in anticipation of a rally. If the spot market remains strong, BTC could rise in the coming months.”
