What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin fell to $55,000 yesterday after the German government again transferred 16,309 Bitcoin from its holdings to crypto exchanges and market makers. However, it has since bounced back and is now trading at $57,000. The next resistance levels are at $57,600 and $58,200. Meanwhile, Ethereum has traded above $3,000 and is aiming for $3,110, which could indicate the beginning of a rally towards $3,270.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “With Bitcoin trading below the critical resistance level at 58.4k USD, bears are looking to strengthen their grip even as the German government has already sold more than 50% of its originally held 50,000 BTC as per the data from Arkham Intelligence. ETH as well is just able to sustain above 3000 dollars even as the ETF trading of the world’s largest crypto is coming close.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin is consolidating losses above $55,000 after attempting a recovery above $56,500 and $57,500. It failed to break past $58,200, forming a high at $58,129 before declining and hitting a low of $54,954. It’s now consolidating, with minor gains above the 50% Fib retracement level from $58,129 to $54,954. Bitcoin remains below $57,500 and the 100-hour SMA, with immediate resistance near $57,250.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The crypto market witnessed a highly volatile Monday after German government transferred over $900 million worth of assets from its bitcoin holdings as per the blockchain data. The transfer was made to crypto exchanges and a total of 8700 BTC was moved which resulted in a 3% drop in BTC prices on Monday afternoon. However, Bitcoin rebounded to $57,200 level but this support level looks very weak. The increased supply of BTC in the market is good news as more BTCs are available on exchanges to buying and trading activities. Ethereum on the other hand recovered by over 5% and is changing hands at $3070 level.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Germany continues to have a significant influence on the cryptocurrency market, holding 39,826 BTC worth $2.2 billion, which is about 9% of the $25.3 billion daily bitcoin trading volume. The stash, obtained from movie piracy site Movie2k.to, is gradually being liquidated, impacting BTC prices. Recent sales have seen a nearly 20% drop, with the spot price reaching $55,490. There has been criticism of Germany's strategy of selling BTC for fiat currency, which is seen as potentially harmful given the scarcity of Bitcoin versus unlimited fiat printing. Meanwhile, Bitcoin miners are experiencing a "capitulation," which may signal a market bottom, as they adjust to reduced profits amid market turmoil.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “Despite selling pressure from the German government moving BTC to exchanges, the crypto market has shown resilience with positive returns in the last 24 hours. Technically, BTC needs to reclaim $58,500 for a bullish sign, while ETH needs to stay above $2,875. ETH/BTC bounced from key support, helping some alts like TIA and ETHFI gain over 20% in the last 24 hours.”
