What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is currently trading at $93,600. Despite the pullback over the weekend, BTC remained above its 200-day moving average showing strong buying interest at the lower levels. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 42 — indicating that BTC is neither overbought nor oversold. BTC’s next resistance stands at $96,600 while the support remains at the previous low of $92,800.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Bitcoin encountered the hardest winter in December as it seemed to lose its steam under the increased pressure of selling from the bears. Even though buyers did try hard to breach the $100K mark, Bitcoin only managed to close below the 50-day simple moving average value of $96,124 on December 27, indicating the strength of bulls. Bulls will likely put up a fight for a defense if Bitcoin maintains the 90K mark, but only a persistent break above 100K may accentuate the bullish trend again but if BTC cannot hold the key technical mark it could lead to lows around 76,647.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin’s price action leans bearish as it approaches key support at $92,118, following a sharp decline from its $108,364 all-time high. The EMA20 at $97,149 trends downward, acting as resistance, while the Donchian channel basis at $100,241 remains untested. Failure to reclaim these levels signals weak bullish momentum. A breakdown below $92,118 could trigger further declines toward $88,500 or $86,000. Conversely, reclaiming $97,149 and closing above $100,241 might signal a reversal. Traders should monitor these key levels closely, as ongoing bearish signals dominate Bitcoin’s short-term outlook. Caution and adaptive strategies are essential.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Ethereum has shown resilience in the market, trading at $3,400, marking a 0.53% increase over the last 24 hours. This uptick reflects strong fundamentals as investors remain optimistic about the asset's potential. Meanwhile, Bitcoin experienced a slight decline, dipping below the $94,000 threshold, which may have contributed to a shift in market sentiment.”
