What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin continues to trade below $67,000, pressured by the US Government's sale of Silk Road-linked Bitcoin. It extended its losses, testing the $65,500 zone, but has since rebounded to $66,000. A decisive move above the $66,500 resistance could drive the price higher in the coming sessions. However, if Bitcoin fails to break past this resistance, it may decline further. Immediate support on the downside is near the $66,000 level.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Broader crypto markets continued retracing for another day, as investors await the interest rate decision from Bank of England and Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision this week. With Grayscale’s ETF having net 120 million dollar outflows in the day, ETH also traded lower below the 3300 USD mark. Ethereum however has a major support around the 2800 USD mark even if the downtrend continues. In another development, the world’s second largest stable coin issuer Circle is reportedly trading around the 5 billion dollar mark, albeit much lower than the last failed listing attempt at 9 billion dollars.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $65,714, down from over $67,500 after the US government transferred $2 billion worth of bitcoins to new addresses. The move has sparked speculation of political motives, with some fearing it could harm the stability of the bitcoin market, while others see potential benefits. Despite this, Robert Kiyosaki remains optimistic and predicts that Bitcoin could reach $300,000. It also supports Ethereum and Solana. Bitcoin's immediate resistance is at $66,852 and support at $65,000. The RSI indicates oversold conditions and indicates possible further declines if the price falls below $65,900.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The global cryptocurrency market cap currently stands at $2.38 trillion, reflecting a slight dip of 0.68%. Although trading volume dropped by 23.27% to $62.54 billion, the market vitality remains evident. Stablecoins dominate with $56.9 billion, making up 90.98% of the volume. Bitcoin retains a strong 54.85% market dominance. As confidence in Bitcoin strengthens, particularly with the government initiatives like the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, the outlook for the crypto market remains positive, indicating potential recovery.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “The crypto market has traded mixed, with BTC exhibiting choppy, sideways price action around its resistance level. ETH also moved sideways, while most altcoins experienced a slight fall. Historically, BTC returns in July 2024 have been positive. Looking at August in previous bull cycle years (2021, 2017, 2013), BTC has consistently closed in the green. This suggests the potential for a good uptrend in August, possibly followed by a small correction in September, according to historical data.”
