What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin surged past $69,000 over the weekend following former US President Donald Trump’s speech at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville. Trump announced plans to create a strategic national Bitcoin stockpile if re-elected. BTC bulls are now targeting the $70,000 level, and if they break through, Bitcoin could ascend to the resistance zone between $72,000 and $73,777.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin has seen considerable volatility recently, largely driven by former President Donald Trump's proposal to designate Bitcoin as a strategic asset for the United States. This unexpected announcement caused significant price fluctuations, with Bitcoin initially spiking before experiencing a subsequent decline. The market reacted swiftly, leading to a surge in trading volume and heightened market activity. As of now, Bitcoin is priced at $69,46k.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin (BTC) recently dropped to $67,624 despite hitting an intraday high of $69,000. Former President Donald Trump's pro-crypto stance, including plans to replace SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and create a national bitcoin reserve, could significantly affect BTC prices. Trump's ambitions to turn the US into a crypto hub, along with BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF seeing big inflows, are boosting market sentiment. Bitcoin is currently trading at $67,624, showing a bullish trend above the $67,250 pivot point. Key resistance levels are at $68,320 and $69,150, while support is at $67,200 and $66,640.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Bitcoin is currently riding a wave of positive momentum, with its price breaching $69,000 mark amid heightened trading activity spurred by former President Trump’s announcement to establish Bitcoin as a US strategic asset at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville. This development has not only boosted Bitcoin’s supply dynamics but also highlighted its potential role in the global financial landscape. The global cryptocurrency market is reflecting this enthusiasm, boasting a market cap of $2.47 trillion. This surge in interest highlights the growing confidence among investors and the broader crypto community.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “Over the weekend, the market has been positive due to remarks from Trump at the Bitcoin conference in Nashville. He made a series of cryptocurrency-friendly policy commitments, including promising to fire SEC Chair Gary Gensler and creating a strategic national Bitcoin stockpile if he becomes president, aiming to make the U.S. a crypto hub. Technically, Bitcoin aims for a range high of around $71,700, while Ethereum is still underperforming due to Grayscale selling and overall net outflows. Once this fades, ETH is expected to bounce back.”
