What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Akshat Siddhant, Lead Quant Analyst, Mudrex, told ABP Live, “Bitcoin remains on an upward trajectory, trading near $93,800 after testing resistance around $94,700. Growing concerns around the U.S. debt reaching a record $38.6 trillion are strengthening Bitcoin’s appeal as a long-term hedge. Institutional participation continues to support the move, with firms like Strategy adding over $116 million worth of BTC. At the same time, altcoins such as XRP and Solana are gaining attention amid rising ETF-led interest. While market setup remains bullish, upcoming macro data like the JOLTS survey and employment report will be key in shaping near-term momentum.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “BTC has sustained its momentum, climbing to $94K and gaining around 2.5% over the past 24 hours. Notably, crypto prices strengthened during the U.S. trading session, a clear departure from late-2025 behaviour, when markets consistently sold off alongside U.S. equities. However, spot trading volumes across bitcoin and altcoins have dropped to their lowest levels since November 2023, despite higher prices, pointing to limited spot participation so far. As a result, it is still early to conclude that market sentiment has structurally shifted or that fundamentals have materially improved. The coming days remain critical, particularly around U.S. geopolitical developments, which could significantly influence trader sentiment. The best-case scenario involves BTC holding the $93K–$94K range and gradually testing the $95K resistance zone.”
Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus, said, “Bitcoin’s push toward $94,000 marks its strongest showing in several weeks. However, the move comes with the clear caveat that participation is thin. Price has reclaimed key reference levels such as the 50-day EMA and the yearly open. The short-term structure has flipped from weakness to strength. That said, spot volumes are at their lowest since late 2023 and order books remain shallow. This makes the rally more sensitive to marginal flows and increases the risk of sharp extensions or abrupt pullbacks. The setup is constructive, but conviction is not yet broad-based.”
Nischal Shetty, Founder, WazirX, noted, “Over the last 24 hours, macro developments have reinforced crypto’s positioning as a liquidity-sensitive risk asset and strengthened its long-term monetary narrative. Rising concerns around AI-driven inflation linked to energy-intensive data centres and capital concentration suggest inflation may remain structurally sticky. This raises the risk that central banks delay or recalibrate expected rate cuts, tightening global liquidity. For crypto, this increases short-term volatility, as prices remain highly responsive to monetary expectations, while simultaneously reinforcing Bitcoin’s fixed supply thesis in contrast to reactive monetary systems.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Crypto market is showing encouraging signs of broadening strength as Bitcoin rallies toward $95,000 after recently climbing above $93,000. This price action is meaningful because it coincides with rising participation across major assets rather than a one-day spike. Ethereum’s ability to hold support above $3,200, alongside historic staking payouts, reflects deeper engagement from long-term participants. XRP’s sharp surge, backed by increasing ETF volumes, suggests that institutional flows are returning to spot and listed products. Dogecoin and other large caps have also joined the upside, which points to renewed confidence rather than narrow speculation.”
CoinDCX Research Team noted, “After a significant run, the markets are cooling a bit as the bulls appear to be exhausted, but are not expected to remain passive. Bitcoin holds above $93,600, while Ethereum remains stuck above $3,200. XRP price is demonstrating massive strength by rising above $2.4, while Solana struggles to reach $140. SUI leads the top gainers with a rise of over 13.71%, followed by Lighter by 12.89% and XRP by 11.54%. Besides, IOTA & BTT prices have also surged over 10%. Additionally, MYX Finance continues to decline for the second consecutive day, with a 16.67% drop, followed by Story and Midnight, which each dropped by over 4%, and Canton, which decreased by close to 4%.”
CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The crypto market consolidation continues as Bitcoin remains accumulated within a tight range between $87,500 and $88,000. As a result, the altcoins within the top 10 are also trading below their respective resistance levels, thereby squeezing volatility to a large extent. However, the global market cap is slowly approaching the $3T mark after a rise of nearly 1.66% in the past 24 hours to reach $2.99T. The top gainers for the day are MYX Finance, Chiliz, Canton, and UNUS SED LEO, which surged by over 6% each. On the other hand, Midnight plunges by over 9.27%, followed by Lighter by 8% and Injective by 6.18%.”
