What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin momentarily went past $71,200 in the last 24 hours before settling back down $69,200 as the markets saw minor selling pressure. Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, is reported to be very bullish on BTC as its ETF went past $17 billion in inflows. Bitcoin's next resistance level lies at $70,814, while the previous support level is at $67,744. Ethereum, meanwhile, saw a bit of selling pressure as well as it fell 3.70% in the last 24 hours to settle around $3,400. Overall, the market sentiment remains extremely greedy.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “In a mixed day for bulls and bears alike, BTC first broke the $71k mark before breaking below $69k causing over $175 mn of long liquidations as well as over $80 mn of short liquidations. The short selling began as a federal judge in New York ruled that SEC could proceed with its lawsuit against Coinbase for the unregistered sale and offer of securities. In other news, Fidelity Investments became the eighth institution to apply for a spot in Ethereum ETF late in the evening with the likes of BlackRock, Ark Invest etc already in line for the same. ETH prices however continued to slip during the day. ”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin and Ethereum trade sideways amidst minor price corrections. With KuCoin facing over $1 billion in outflows following criminal conspiracy charges, the market witnesses a minor cooldown. HODLers still hold on to their tokens amidst selling pressure as both BTC and ETH face resistance at $70k and $3.5k. While Bitcoin’s indicators point to a bullish sentiment which could potentially break the $70k resistance, Ethereum’s indicators suggest scope of price correction despite a bullish momentum.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin price remains steady around $70,355, indicating a 0.45% gain and highlighting its resilience and growth potential. The launch of Hashdex's Spot Bitcoin ETF provides US traders with a new investment avenue, despite a higher management fee. In addition, the anticipation surrounding the Bitcoin halving event underscores its scarcity and demand dynamics, which may lead to a sharp increase in prices. Strategic moves by companies like Bitdeer to expand Bitcoin mining infrastructure further bolster confidence in its long-term value. Robert Kiyosaki's endorsement of Bitcoin as a major investment highlights its growing appeal amid criticism of fiat currencies. Overall, these developments and price predictions suggest a bullish trajectory for Bitcoin, supported by strong buy zones and resistance levels.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Bitcoin lost the $70,000 level as the crypto market experienced a slight dump across the board. A weekly close above $70,000 could confirm the breakout and push the cryptocurrency to new highs. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin ETFs experienced net inflows totalling $243.5 million.”
