What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin has been consolidating above the $65,000 mark over the past 24 hours. Prior to this, BTC tested the $64,000 level, resulting in liquidations by whales over the last two weeks. The $65,500 level is now critical, as bears are actively defending this zone. If BTC can surpass this level, we could witness an uptrend. A decisive move above the $66,000 resistance might trigger a steady increase, pushing the price higher. Meanwhile, Ethereum has rebounded and is trading around the $3,500 level. Additionally, a Bitcoin ETF has been listed on the Australian stock market for the first time.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin's technical indicators present a mixed sentiment. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 40, indicating neutrality. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) at -569 point to bearish conditions, reflecting underlying selling pressures. There might be a major support at 64,500. However, there is an increased bearish activity around the next support which can be seen at 64,800. But Bitcoin is still trading above its 100 EMA which is a sign of bullish sentiment and its long range prices also indicate a strong support.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The total crypto market volume over the last 24 hours stood at $94.71 billion which is a whopping surge of 103% from the previous day. Even though the prices of crypto heavyweights like BTC and ETH witnessed a marginal dip, the trading activity increased as traders might be buying the dip. The hawkish stance by the US Fed may keep the investors on their toes for the coming weeks and the market volatility is expected to continue for some time.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “BTC consolidated in a very narrow range yesterday with altcoins showing some strength after days of choppy markets. This comes as Bitcoin exchange reserves reach a three year low, which means there could be a supply shock on the cards with the unprecedented demand of Bitcoin ETFs. In altcoins,the rally was led by AI tokens FET (20%) and AGIX (20%) as the biggest merger of crypto token till date, of FET, AGIX and OCEAN, has been postponed to July, a one month delay from June. This comes as Nvidia became the biggest company in the world in market cap recently.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “The crypto market remained sideways yesterday. BTC is hovering around the $65,000 level, and the direction is currently unclear. This level is important because if it falls below, it could drop to $60,000. ETH also remained neutral but continues to outperform BTC. The ETH/BTC pair still looks strong. ETH is stuck between a range low at $3,400 and a range high at $3,650. It needs to break either level to establish a clear direction.”
