What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario


Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin bears continued to remain aggressive as the market saw yet another day of Bitcoin prices falling, although only marginally. Currently, Bitcoin trades below the $65,500 mark, with its closest support level at $65,353 and the next resistance level at $67,310. Meanwhile, Ethereum too continued on its downward trend, with over 4% losses in the last 24 hours. Despite this, the overall market sentiment continues to remain greedy.”


CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Markets took a beating in the early hours today, Bitcoin slumped to its lowest price in a month below 65.5k USD as altcoins bled further with ETH losing 4% and SOL down more than 8%. The overall liquidations in the last 24 hours now stand at 480 million dollars across exchanges as per the data from Coinglass.”


Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin (BTC) continues to struggle under bearish pressure, with key technical indicators signalling potential further declines. The hourly MACD is gaining momentum in the bearish zone, suggesting increased selling pressure. Key support levels to watch are $65,000 and $64,500. Bitcoin's ability to hold these support levels will be crucial in determining its short-term direction. Ethereum's price has declined once more, retesting the $3,365 support level. A new upward surge towards $3,700 is possible if ETH remains above the crucial $3,365 support. The current price is below the 100-hour Simple Moving Average.”


Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The crypto market witnessed heavy liquidations recently primarily due to the hawkish stance by the US Fed. The centralized exchanges witnessed liquidations with $96 million wiped off in 24 hours as per the data from Coinglass. At the time of writing, BTC was trading at the $65,500 mark while ETH was changing hands at the $3436 level. We can expect the market volatility to continue owing to uncertain macroeconomic factors.” 


CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “The crypto market has experienced a decline over the last few days, with significant drops in BTC and ETH leading to a substantial decrease in altcoins, resulting in the liquidation of many high leverage long positions. Technically, BTC is currently in a downtrend, facing key resistance at $67,000 and finding support at $64,600. ETH is standing at a crucial support level, slightly above $3,400. Overall, the market looks choppy and uncertain at the moment.”
