What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario


Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is stabilising around $84,500 after taking support at $82,200. Trump's plan to impose tariffs on the European Union added to the selling pressure, triggering a market-wide correction. Despite ongoing outflows, historical trends suggest that such re-accumulation phases lead to a market reset and a subsequent rally. If Bitcoin reclaims $90,000, it could confirm a breakout, reigniting bullish sentiment and pushing BTC toward the $100K mark. On the downside, BTC could test $80,000 before making a decisive move, shifting its trajectory upward.”


CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “BTC fell by another 4% yesterday as the world’s largest crypto asset has now lost more than 3% three days in a row, first time since August 2024. The selloff yesterday was most likely triggered by Trump announcing his plans to impose 25% tariff on EU in his first cabinet meeting. S&P500 fell to their session lows as well. On the institutional side, Bitcoin ETFs shattered another record as we saw a net outflow of close to 930 million dollars, the highest ever since the BTC ETFs started trading in January last year. While the price of Bitcoin has really struggled as this pans out, this can be a good thing as well if this money comes back to the altcoin market.”


Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “The crypto market has entered a bear phase with Bitcoin declining over 20% from its January peak of $109,350 to an intraday low of $83,740. Bitcoin’s decline below $85K is the largest sell-off of 2025, with 79.3K BTC sold at a loss in 24 hours, and a $300 billion flash crash in the crypto market signals rising volatility and investor anxiety. ETF outflows and Trump’s EU tariff threats have further pressured the market; BTC can experience a potential drop to $74K.” 


Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin is currently trading at $84,000, continuing its recent decline after hitting a low of $86,050 on Tuesday. The market correction follows significant Bitcoin spot ETF outflows, with a record $937.90 million withdrawn in a single day. Institutional demand has weakened over the past two weeks, contributing to BTC’s pullback from its all-time high of $109,588 in mid-January. A K33 report notes that MicroStrategy’s latest Bitcoin acquisition failed to boost investor sentiment. Additionally, renewed concerns over U.S. trade tariffs under former President Donald Trump have added to market uncertainty, influencing Bitcoin’s recent price movement.”


Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin's price has fallen below $85,000, while the broader equity market has also declined following President Trump's announcement of a proposed 25% tariff on the European Union. This development has introduced significant volatility into the markets. Current news activity is centered on regulatory discussions and market responses to the tariff proposal. Looking ahead, market dynamics are expected to continue evolving as global economic policies unfold. The ongoing interplay between geopolitical events and financial markets will likely remain a key focus for observers in the coming days.” 


CoinDCX Research Team noted, “Bitcoin continues to plunge as the selling pressure continues to mount over the crypto space. Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, etc. tested their crucial support; Litecoin, Chainlink, and memecoins like Pepe, Shiba Inu, & BOME remained bullish during the crypto blood bath. Besides, the BTC dominance slashed a bit, which suggests the trader’s focus could have shifted slightly to the altcoins. Besides, the spot BTC & ETF ETFs recorded over $1B outflows, dragging the BTC price below $84,000.”
