What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is trading at $102,200 as investors turn to book profits at higher levels. After its rally to a new ATH, Bitcoin is likely to be trading range-bound between $100k and $109k until the month end with investors looking towards the FOMC meeting outcome for direction. On the other hand, Dogecoin joined the waitlist for ETF approval with Bitwise submitting the registration filing in Delaware. At present, BTC’s major support stands at $101,300 with the next resistance at $106,700.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin is down 2.72% today, sliding to 102k after hitting a high of 105,952 yesterday. The dip comes amid the absence of any Bitcoin-related statements from former US President Donald Trump. Altcoins are feeling the heat, with markets bleeding alongside Bitcoin’s pullback. Meanwhile, CME is gearing up for the debut of XRP and SOL futures in February, following a record 29.4 million crypto futures contracts traded in 2024, valued at $1.7 trillion. Ethereum whales are making moves, accumulating over $1 billion worth of ETH (330,000 ETH) in the last two weeks.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Bitcoin has shown remarkable resilience, stabilizing around the $105K mark after its recent volatility, highlighting its growing maturity as an asset class. The fact that altcoins like Solana and Dogecoin are leading gains demonstrates the market's continued appetite for diversification and the potential of smaller, more agile projects to capitalize on market movements. As the total crypto market cap hovers near $3.8 trillion, it's clear we're in an evolving phase of crypto adoption, where large caps like Bitcoin are holding steady, while altcoins show their potential to drive growth.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin (BTC) remains above $100,000 amid consolidation but faces potential downturn risks, according to experts. Analysts attribute recent volatility to selling pressure following President Donald Trump’s January 20 inauguration, with some traders panicking due to a lack of cryptocurrency mentions. On-chain data shows Bitcoin entering a possible accumulation phase as investors move coins off exchanges, signaling long-term confidence. However, resistance levels at $106,000 and $120,000, along with potential support zones at $92,000, $87,000, and $74,000, could shape BTC’s trajectory.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The cryptocurrency market has shown remarkable activity, particularly with Solana experiencing a surge in trading volume. This spike is attributed to intense trading of the TRUMP and MELANIA tokens, reflecting heightened investor interest following Donald Trump's return to office. Additionally, anticipation builds around the DEA-led crypto consultation paper, expected in March 2025, which could further shape regulatory frameworks and foster institutional adoption.”
Sumit Gupta, co-founder, CoinDCX, said, “Bitcoin price hasbegun to consolidate with the global market dynamics do not appear to be in faovur of the bulls. While Ethereum price is juggling around $3,200, Solana reached $250, ADA failed to hold $1, while DOGE manages to trade above $0.35. This suggests the Trump-effect over the crypto markets are slowing fading off as the volume drop back to its initial range. Meanwhile, the stablecoin over Solana has been consistently rising, reaching market cap of above $10 billion.”
