What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin crosses the $50,000 threshold, marking its first break since 2021. The surge is attributed to the strong showing of the US stock market, substantial investments in spot Bitcoin ETFs, and an impending halving event. The next resistance for Bitcoin is at the $50,250 level, suggesting the potential for a continued climb beyond $51,200. Positive investor sentiment is reflected in active bullish activity in the market. At the same time, Ethereum sustains a position above $2,600, with bullish investors aiming for the $2,717 threshold.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “After a long wait of more than 2 years, BTC finally hit the prestigious figure of $50k once again yesterday as the total crypto market cap inches towards the 2 trillion dollar mark. Incidentally, BTC has printed 8 consecutive green candles, a fit previously achieved in July 2021 which led us to the last all-time high at $69k. With the market picking up pace, the world’s second biggest crypto by market cap, Ethereum (+6%) and its top layer-2 solutions, OP (+8.3%) and ARB (+7.5%) have also started to show strength to move towards another local high if the momentum in BTC is sustained with just two months to go in the most sought after event in the crypto ecosystem — the BTC halving.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin's rise above $50,000 is causing losses for bears, supported by its strongest weekly close since December 2021. Bitcoin is trading more than 3% higher, having gained 13.5% last week, marking its biggest weekly gain since October. Bears expecting a deeper pullback after bitcoin's plunge below $40,000 last month are thwarted by the nearly 30% recovery since late January. Spot bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of $1.1 billion last week, surpassing $10 billion in assets under management. Macro tailwinds from US stock markets reaching record highs and Fed rate cut expectations further boost Bitcoin. While bearish concerns persist due to an overbought RSI and nearing market highs, bullish resistance around $52,000 with aggressive buying is likely to persist, spelling more woes for Bitcoin bears.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “In the last 24 hours, BTC reached a significant milestone, breaking the $50,000 mark and hitting its highest level of the year. This led to a widespread increase in altcoins, contributing to the overall crypto market cap nearing $2 trillion. From a technical perspective, both BTC and ETH are showing bullish momentum. BTC has its sights set on $51,800, while ETH aims for $2,700. Traders should pay attention to the US CPI announcement today, as it has the potential to impact market volatility. Being cautious in response to such events is advisable.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin surpassed $50,000 for the first time since December 2021, fueled by the positive impact of ETFs, solidifying its position among the top 10 most valuable assets. Bitcoin's recent surge saw a 3.59% increase in the last 24 hours, with a notable 16.87% gain over the past 7 days, currently priced at $49,915.98. Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $2,654.07, experiencing a 5.88% rise in the last 24 hours and a 15.28% increase over the past week.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The Total Crypto Market Capitalisation has risen to $1.87T with Bitcoin crossing $50,000 for the first time in 2 years. As expected, Bitcoin soared to $50,000 after holding and breaking above the $49,000 support. On the Other hand, Ethereum is trying to break the $2700 resistance which might be successful when Bitcoin Dominance decreases from the current 52%. There are Approximately 60 days until the Bitcoin Halving in April 2024 which could potentially push the Cryptocurrency market to new highs.”
