What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin traded below the $65,000 level over the past day, breaking its support at $66,809 due to increased liquidations. The next support level is set at $64,000. Sellers continue to apply pressure with no reversal signals in sight. Similarly, Ethereum is trading around the $3,500 level, in line with BTC's performance. Meanwhile, on Thursday, MicroStrategy acquired an additional 11,931 BTC for $786 million.”

Parth Chaturvedi, Head of Investments, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “In the past 24 hours, AI-themed tokens have experienced remarkable gains, with some surging up to 35%, significantly outperforming the broader crypto market. Leading the charge were tokens such as Fetch.ai's FET, SingularityNET's AGIX, and Ocean Protocol's OCEAN. This rally aligns with a notable rise in Nvidia's stock, now the world's most valuable company, reflecting growing investor interest in AI-related technologies.”

Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Concerns over prolonged higher U.S. borrowing costs have weighed on the cryptocurrency market, particularly impacting Bitcoin, the world's largest digital currency. Tuesday's U.S. retail sales data indicated that consumers are feeling the strain of elevated interest rates, with analysts predicting only one interest rate cut this year. Despite a recent acquisition by MicroStrategy, Bitcoin's price showed minimal reaction, continuing its downward trend and testing critical support levels over the past 14 hours. However, a decline from the latest psychological support level at $65k might have an impact on investor confidence for the token in the near term.”

Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “This significant penalty is a clear indication of the increasing scrutiny and regulation in the digital asset space. It's essential to stay informed and aware of such developments to navigate this evolving landscape successfully. I believe that the regulations are getting more organised for cryptocurrency exchanges, globally. The need for compliance is critical for user protection and to conduct business in a fearless environment. Sustained efforts by FIU-IND will lead to a fertile ground for Web3 businesses to grow and enable India to become a $1 trillion digital economy.”

CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “The crypto market has been relatively stagnant, with little change over the past few days. BTC is consolidating around the $65,000 mark, and its direction remains uncertain. This is a critical level because a drop below it could lead BTC to fall to $60,000. Altcoins are generally weaker compared to BTC and ETH. ETH also stayed neutral. The ETH/BTC pair appears strong, but ETH is confined between a range low of $3,400 and a range high of $3,650. It needs to break through either level to define a clear direction.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin's fall below $65,000 was partly due to crypto hedge funds reducing their exposure to Bitcoin to 0.37, the lowest since October 2020. This cautious approach by hedge funds, driven by expected volatility, macroeconomic conditions or regulatory uncertainties, increased selling pressure, which contributed to Bitcoin's decline. Bitcoin is currently trading at $65,100, facing critical resistance at $66,800 and support at $64,150. The RSI is neutral at 47, while the 50-day EMA coincides with channel resistance at $65,500, indicating a bearish trend if it closes below this pivot point.”
