What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is trading close to $99,000, maintaining its upward momentum. Altcoins are also seeing sustained buying interest, with major tokens like Ethereum, XRP, and Cardano gaining over 2%. Meanwhile, Bitcoin spot ETF has seen increased inflows of over $900 million in the last week showing a turnaround in institutional activity. For Bitcoin to break past the $100,000 milestone, it must overcome resistance at $99,400, while support stands at the $96,000 mark.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “After 10 days if chopping BTC is again close to testing the crucial 99.5k USD mark - with 6 consecutive green days in BTC already, if Bitcoin fails to breach this resistance we can see a downslide in the entire market. However if Bitcoin flips 100k with volumes, this could start a major rally similar to what we saw in 2024 January. Ethereum on the other hand is struggling to make new highs against BTC with the ETH/BTC pair trading around 0.037 BTC per ETH. 0.04 has to be broken for ETH to outperform BTC in terms of price action.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Bitcoin surged about 5.5% in the past 7 days, showing strong demand at lower levels and indicating that the market is waiting for further uptrends. If BTC rises above the psychological level of $100K, altcoins such as Solana and Sui will also show the bullish momentum. Bitcoin closed above the key moving average last week, indicating the reduced selling pressure while optimism is that bulls can push the price of Bitcoin above the resistance of $100K. A successful breakout could propel bitcoin to record highs of $108,353. However, a failure to continue momentum may result in temporary consolidation around $90,000.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin's continued rise could push altcoins like Solana (SOL), SUI, ICP, and ENA higher. With Bitcoin nearing $100,000, demand remains strong, as seen by ETF inflows and reduced selling pressure. If Bitcoin breaks above this resistance, it could target $108,353 and higher. Solana, currently facing resistance at $219, shows strength with the 20-day EMA turning up and the RSI in positive territory. If SOL surpasses $219, it could rally to $234 and $247. However, if Bitcoin faces rejection or Solana drops below key support, bearish pressure could return.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Bitcoin has shown positive momentum at the start of the week, surging by 0.97% in the last 24 hours, reaching $99,307. This uptick is part of a broader trend in the crypto market, with the global market cap now standing at $3.53 trillion, reflecting a 0.87% increase over the past day. Ethereum and XRP have contributed to this positive sentiment, rising by 0.77% and 0.83%, respectively. Investors remain optimistic regarding the future trajectory of cryptocurrencies, driven by growing institutional interest and the potential for regulatory clarity. These factors may contribute to sustained growth in the sector as we progress through 2025.”
Sumit Gupta, co-founder, CoinDCX, said, “Bitcoin's recent 4% rally and significant inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs suggest a strong demand for the crypto, even at lower levels. With selling pressure potentially decreasing and MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor hinting at another Bitcoin purchase, the stage is set for a potential breakout. Bitcoin clears the $100,000 mark, which could be imminent given its current trajectory.”
