What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is holding steady around the $51,000 mark amid a rise in profit-taking. Bitcoin has not yet accumulated energy to make a sharp move, so it is anticipated to move laterally within the $50,000 to $52,000 range for some time. Meanwhile, Ethereum is maintaining a neutral stance as neither bullish nor bearish forces have taken control. If Ethereum dips below its current position, the next support level lies at $2,800.”

Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “Even though BTC (-0.6%) is currently showing range-bound price action, on-chain data based on LTH (Long Term Hodler) behaviour suggests that there may finally be a pattern formation that has been historically linked to bull runs. On the other hand, ETH (+0.7%) is still trying to find its footing above $3K. As for altcoins, BNB’s (+1.1%) price climbed to its highest since the FTX crash. This could be attributed to fading concerns around regulatory issues related to Binance, and an upcoming Web3 gaming project’s airdrop farming campaign for BNB holders. Additionally, AI tokens continued to surge on the back of Nvidia’s 4th quarter earnings; RNDR is up 9.3% while WLD (+13.9) hit its record high.”

Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “The Bitcoin price sustained a brief downtrend, settling below $51,800 and dipping below $51,200 before a moderate recovery. Despite a partial rebound above $51,500, the further upward movement faced resistance from bears. The prevailing sentiment suggests key obstacles at $51,800 and $52,000, potentially paving the way for an ascent towards the $52,500 resistance zone. BTC's resilience amidst short-term volatility reinforces a positive market sentiment, creating opportunities for potential buyers to consider acquiring more BTC during any price dips anticipated in the upcoming weeks.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “NVIDIA's outstanding fourth-quarter earnings, with revenue surging to $60.9 billion, highlight its dominance in AI and data centers, sparking speculation about Bitcoin's future. This remarkable performance underscores the fusion of tech innovation with the cryptocurrency market. The surge in revenue reflects soaring demand for AI and computing technologies, igniting investor interest in Bitcoin's potential rally. With resistance levels at $52,875, $54,646, and $56,477, and support at $50,823, $49,227, and $47,707, Bitcoin's trend appears cautiously bearish. The RSI at 42.76 suggests moderate momentum, while the 50-day EMA could act as dynamic support. While the MACD isn't visible, its absence limits trend analysis. Overall, NVIDIA's success hints at transformative shifts in Bitcoin investment strategies, amid growing tech-crypto synergy.”

Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The Bitcoin price is struggling to rise above $53,000 after making a pull back to $51,000. With only 60 days remaining for the halving, Bitcoin continues to maintain the $50,000 Support but a correction to $48,000 - $49,000 is still on the cards. Interestingly, Bitcoin has made all - time highs against 14 currencies around the world.” 

CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “In the last 24 hours, the crypto market showed a slightly bearish sentiment with the first net outflow from BTC ETF since January 25, 2024, signalling bearishness. Additionally, funding rates were not favourable for bulls. Technically, BTC closed in the red but stayed within its range, with local support around $50,600 and resistance at $52,500. Meanwhile, ETH remained relatively stable, hovering between $2,900 and $3,000, with local support at $2,880 and resistance at $3,030.”
