What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin maintained its position at the $42,000 level over the weekend, influenced by a Federal Reserve adopting a hawkish stance and Bitcoin outflows from Grayscale. A correction ensued as Bitcoin couldn't breach the $43,800 level, but bullish support remained, holding Bitcoin above the $40,000 mark. Despite a 35 percent decrease from its peak, Bitcoin has shown an 83 percent increase since February of the previous year. Meanwhile, Ethereum is observed trading at $2,200.”
Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “The crypto market sailed through quiet waters over the weekend. Bitcoin witnessed a rang-bound performance hovering around $43k — a level which seems to be building as a support. Similarly, Ethereum has been consolidating near $2.3k. Investor sentiment continues to be bullish, as Crypto Fear & Greed Index maintained a score of 60/100 over the weekend.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin’s investor sentiment remains a mixed bag, with the Relative Strength Index at 50, indicating neutrality. The MACD Level at 36 signals a 'Buy,' while the Stochastic %K at 41 and the Average Directional Index at 13 point towards a neutral outlook. In other developments, Hong Kong's FirstDigitalUSD stablecoin has entered the top 5 by volume, and Chainlink experiences notable market investment, seeing a 12% surge in the last seven days.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin trading volume reaching $8 billion raises questions about the right time to buy, with Bitcoin at $43,000 and a modest 0.50 percent drop on Sunday. Genesis is seeking to sell the trust's assets in the midst of its bankruptcy proceedings, potentially affecting market sentiment and bitcoin prices. LPL Financial's strict due diligence prevents the adoption of Bitcoin ETFs, potentially delaying significant investment. Additionally, the US Department of Justice's crackdown on illegal cryptocurrency mining in a school district may affect public perception. Bitcoin's technical outlook shows critical resistance and support levels, with indicators pointing to neutral market sentiment but a potential bearish trend below $42,885.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO, BuyUcoin, said, "The crypto market has once again shown a weakness with Bitcoin hovering around the $42,000 support amid the failure of any breakout over the weekend. A breakout above $44,000 is still expected and could potentially mark the beginning of a rally towards new yearly highs. The Bitcoin halving, which occurs every 4 years, is less than 70 days away, has historically pushed Bitcoin and the total market cap to new highs."
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “Over the weekend, the crypto market had a small dip. BTC stayed in the range of $41,000 to $45,000, showing some support from the moving averages. Clearing $45,000 could bring a strong upward trend. Positive factors like the halving make the outlook for BTC positive. ETH also had a mild dip and is in the range of $2,175 to $2,400. It's below key moving averages, but developments like the Dencun upgrade and speculation on an ETH spot ETF approval give positive sentiments.”
