What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin surged past $64,000 as Donald Trump's chances of winning the upcoming November election improved, boosting BTC's price. The market also gained optimism from the news that spot Ether ETFs will start trading next Tuesday. Bulls are now eyeing the $65,000 mark. Bitcoin peaked at $64,900 and is currently holding its gains. If it breaks past $65,000, we could see a significant increase this week. The support level is around $64,250, and the overall market sentiment remains positive.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “BTC bounce back post Trump's assassination attempt continues as BTC posted a third straight green candle with little resistance to offer till 70k USD. However, we might see some profit booking at 65k USD given it is an important liquidity zone for the world's largest crypto. The biggest top mover in the last 24 hour in top 100 remained memecoins, as PEPE (+26%), FLOKI (+24%), WIF(+24%) and BRETT(+20%) outperformed all other category of coins which confirms the market sentiment that crypto community still finds value in the meme culture more than anything else and the current cycle might be far from over. However, memecoins also tend to drop much sharper than other coins hence are extremely risky to invest or trade.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin’s price is recovering from its recent dip, now trading above $64,000. Bitcoin’s rebound over the weekend has sustained its momentum with a potential demand increase on exchanges on the horizon potentially indicating a price surge ahead. Meanwhile, Ethereum has climbed past the $3,500 resistance level and could gain enough momentum to break above $4,000 soon. This bullish outlook is bolstered by increasing trading volume and the commencement of ETF trading sometime later this month.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin nears $65,000 amidst economic data showing manufacturing slowdowns. Weak indicators may drive investors to Bitcoin as a hedge, with current trading at $64,770 and bullish momentum. Resistance levels are at $65,500, $67,250, and $69,000, supported by strong technical trends like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) signaling buying opportunities. The 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) also backs an upward trajectory. Entry points above $63,500 are advised, targeting gains towards higher resistances. Continued market support suggests potential for further price increases in Bitcoin.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “The crypto market has surged in the past few days following the incident involving Donald Trump, which increased the chances of his potential win in the USA presidential election—a positive development for the crypto space, as he is a known crypto supporter. Additionally, Mt. Gox has now sold all its BTC, reducing the selling pressure that has been affecting the market. Furthermore, BTC ETF inflows remain net positive, indicating continued demand.”
