What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario


Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin continues its upward trajectory, currently trading at approximately $65,000, as investors take advantage of the dip with increased inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs.  On Monday, lifetime net inflows into these ETFs surpassed $16 billion. Market bulls are now targeting the $71,500 level. A decisive move above the $66,500 resistance could trigger further bullish momentum. The next critical resistance is at $67,200, with support established at $64,250.”


CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin reclaimed 65k USD levels; Even the news of Mt Gox moving 91,755 BTC worth 5.8 Billion dollars was unable to deeply impact the current relief rally BTC is showing. Spot bitcoin ETFs now have attracted over $16 billion of inflows since launching in January. with $300 million added early this week alone. The funds, led by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust and Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, have seen consistent inflows even as Bitcoin prices fluctuated, indicating strong investor demand for regulated bitcoin exposure.”


Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin (BTC) is experiencing a stellar rally, surging over 15% and decisively surpassing the crucial $65,000 resistance level. This bullish momentum suggests a potential test of $66,000 in the near future, with analysts eyeing $66,500 as the first major hurdle. Technical indicators are echoing the optimistic sentiment, with the hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) climbing above 50. This signals strong buying pressure behind the current surge.”


Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, has redefined Bitcoin as "digital gold" and a "legitimate financial instrument," signalling the cryptocurrency's mainstream acceptance. The move followed BlackRock's launch of the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which quickly became the largest Bitcoin ETF with over $18 billion in assets. As a result, the price of Bitcoin climbed above $60,000, driven by increased institutional investment. Bitcoin is currently trading at $63,512 and is showing strong buying interest with potential targets at $66,750 and $68,263. Supported by technical indicators, the outlook for Bitcoin remains bullish, with a key support level at $62,466.”


CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “The crypto market continues to move up, with BTC crossing $65,000 and ETH touching $3,500. Technically, altcoins are outperforming and looking strong. BTC needs to continue holding above $60,000 to maintain bullish momentum and must surpass the hurdle at $68,000. ETH needs to clear above $3,650 and hold above the support level of $3,350. Volatility has significantly increased and is expected to remain high this week.”
