What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is currently trading around the $58,000-$59,000 zone. This level is significant as BTC faces various market pressures, including outflows from spot BTC ETFs after a five-day inflow streak, selling pressure from the release of $9 billion from Mt. Gox, and US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's comments on inflation reduction, stating that more evidence is needed before considering interest rate cuts. If BTC breaks below this support level, it could potentially drop to the next support levels at $56,500, $54,800, and $50,500. Investors and traders should closely monitor the market.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “BTC crashed to a new three month low of under 58k USD before a mini recovery back to just under 60k USD. While the local low of BTC stands at 56.7k USD, anything lower would take us to a 5 month low in BTC prices. If not recovered again, 60k USD may now become a resistance. On the other hand, asset management firm Bitwise has amended its S-1 registration with the US SEC expected to give the final approvals on the ETH ETF as early as July. However this news could not stop ETH to bleed as it fell by more than 3% yesterday.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “In the past 24 hours, more than $64.2 million in Bitcoin long positions have been liquidated, intensifying the asset's selling pressure. Bitcoin failed to break the $61,000 resistance, prompting a decline to the critical $58,000 level. Further resistance is expected around the $60,000 mark as bears dominate the market, driven by liquidations, whale movements, and miner sell-offs. Uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions is also adding to Bitcoin's volatility. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has hinted at larger-than-expected rate cuts, though no timeline has been provided. This outlook is seen as bullish for Bitcoin and major altcoins. Additionally, a slowdown in miner sell-offs could alleviate market pressure in the coming weeks.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin recently fell below $60,000 to $59,544, driven by a stronger US dollar supported by robust labor market data, reducing expectations of an impending Fed rate cut. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's cautious stance on inflation targets further added to uncertainty and affected bitcoin's trajectory. The upcoming launch of the Ethereum ETF on July 8 could intensify competition in the crypto market and potentially add downward pressure on Bitcoin prices as investors focus on more. Technical indicators suggest caution, with the RSI nearing oversold levels and the 50 EMA indicating resistance. Bitcoin's immediate support is around $59,000, key to its short-term bullish outlook.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “In today's crypto news update, the biggest news is Bitcoin price dipping nearly 3.40% in 24-hour to $58822.15 at the time of writing this update. According to a Cointelegraph report, the BTC price fell below $58k in two months on some exchanges before recoving. Bitcoin’s market dominance is 53.4% while that of Ether 17.9%. The total market cap of the cryptocurrency market is $2.17 trillion, down 3.51% in 24 hours. Among the reasons for the BTC price to fall below $60000, the potential $9 billion repayment in BTC by Mt. Gox is seen as a major contributor. It has unleased a selling pressure on the market. The recent offloading of Bitcoin by Germany and the United States governments have also added to the pressure. An unknown whale sold $810 million worth of Bitcoin within 3 minutes in the last 24 hours, contributing further to the falling price.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “The crypto market experienced a significant decline, with BTC dipping to $58,000, filling all CME futures gaps. BTC is now at a crucial level of $59,000; losing this level could lead to a continued fall to $54,000. A reversal from here could target the range high of $72,000-$73,000. ETH also dropped, bouncing from key support at $3,150. Below this, support is at $3,050, with resistance at $3,370.”
