What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is trading within a tight range of $87,000 to $88,500, while Ethereum followed the same trend, attempting to reclaim the $2,100 level. On-chain data reveals outflows of $424 million in BTC from exchanges over the past week, signaling accumulation by long-term investors. Historically, April has been a strong month for Bitcoin, with an average monthly gain of 13%, raising expectations among market participants. However, for a sustained rally toward $100,000, Bitcoin must break past the critical $90,000 resistance level, with support standing at $85,400.”

CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin (BTC) remained stable around $87.5K, marking a slight increase of 0.5% over the past 24 hours. The S&P 500 closed at 5,776.65, maintaining its recent upward momentum after rebounding from the 5,500 support level earlier in the month. U.S. Bitcoin ETFs experienced significant outflows totaling $5.4 billion over a five-week period, indicating cautious investor sentiment amid economic concerns and geopolitical tensions. However, market remains optimistic, as analysts at Bernstein project highlighted that the overall cryptocurrency market capitalization could surge threefold to $7.5 trillion by the end of 2025, driven by unprecedented institutional adoption.”

Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “XRP entered the regulated spotlight as 21Shares launched a fully backed ETP on Nasdaq Stockholm, marking a giant step forward for institutional onboarding. Bitcoin, on the other hand, reached $87,600 as selling pressure declined, with long-term holders and miners reducing sell-offs. With fewer BTC flowing into the market, demand has been driving prices upward. But now Bitcoin also has a volume gap, as low liquidity may result in volatility. Investors are closely monitoring whether BTC will maintain momentum or face a pullback.” 

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin's open interest surged after the FOMC meeting, reflecting renewed market interest as BTC approached $90K for the first time in two weeks. While trading volumes have increased by 50%, the Fear and Greed Index has risen, signaling improving sentiment. Despite a brief pullback, Bitcoin is testing key trend line resistance. Positive momentum indicators suggest a potential breakout, with BTC possibly rising to $95K if bullish momentum persists. A pullback to $86,400 could present an opportunity for traders, with a favorable risk-reward ratio if the price maintains support at this level during the American session.”

Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has surged past the impressive $87K mark, showcasing robust demand and renewed investor interest. This rally reflects a broader positive sentiment in the cryptocurrency market, as Ethereum maintains a steady price of $2053, demonstrating resilience despite ongoing market volatility. The stability of Ethereum is pivotal, as it underlines investor confidence even amidst declining trading volumes. This dynamic is likely to foster a more optimistic outlook for the crypto space, with analysts suggesting potential for further growth as institutional interest continues to build.” 

CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The global markets are strengthening and a positive impact has been seen within the crypto space. Bitcoin and other altcoins continue to trade within the gained levels, suggesting a potential upswing in the coming days. Meanwhile, the global trading volume has been slashed by above 11%, suggesting less participation of bulls and bears. However, the market sentiments remain unchanged as the traders seem to be passively waiting for the next price action, suggesting the crypto bull run may revive soon.”
