What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Alankar Saxena, CTO and co-founder, Mudrex told ABP Live, “After a rally to $95,000, Bitcoin is currently trading at $83,700, following a pullback triggered by Trump's confirmation of tariffs on Canada and Mexico. The broader market also experienced some profit-taking as economic uncertainty increased. Furthermore, about 8,400 BTC were deposited into exchanges, signaling increased selling pressure as bears remain active. Investors should remain cautious as volatility might continue if BTC breaks the support at $81,000. On the upside, BTC’s resistance remains at $92,000, showing ample scope for recovery once market sentiment shifts.”

CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “All the gains BTC and crypto made one day before was washed out entirely as BTC struggled to find support even at 82K USD - a straight fall from last day’s high i.e. 95K USD, causing more than 1 billion dollars worth of liquidations as ETH and other crypto are falling sharply as well. However, this is not the only market which is acting brutal towards its investors - with Trump confirming tariffs on China and Mexico to be started by March 4th caused S&P 500 to crash by more than 2% in point in the day.”

Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “The crypto market experienced extreme volatility following former President Donald Trump’s announcement of a U.S. Crypto Strategic Reserve, initially driving Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other major tokens higher. However, gains were short-lived as skepticism over implementation and regulatory approval led to sharp corrections. Adding to the turbulence, Trump’s proposed tariffs against China intensified economic uncertainty, triggering a broader market sell-off.” 

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin’s weekly chart almost closed below $90,000 for the first time since November 2024, but a late surge followed US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a crypto strategic reserve, pushing the price to $94,222. Despite a February close at $84,299, the weekly chart formed a doji candle. Some analysts are wary of a repeat of 2019’s “Xi pump,” where Bitcoin’s price surged after China’s President Xi Jinping’s support for blockchain, only to fall due to government crackdowns. Caution remains, with traders watching Bitcoin’s price stability between $91,000 and $103,000 to confirm sustained bullish momentum.”

Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The cryptocurrency market continues to show resilience and potential for growth. Despite recent fluctuations, Bitcoin has demonstrated strong trading volumes, reaching 1.5 million BTC in a single hour following market-moving headlines from Donald Trump. Ethereum also saw a bullish MACD crossover, indicating potential for further upward movement. Altcoins like Solana and Cardano have rallied significantly, reflecting the market's capacity for rapid growth.” 

CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The crypto market is experiencing unprecedented volatility amid major shifts in sentiments. The markets continue to bleed despite major developments like the SEC dropping the lawsuits, the U.S. President announcing the creation of a strategic reserve, and China’s plans to follow in the U.S. The bitcoin price plunged heavily from $94,400 to levels close to $84,500; meanwhile, the altcoins are crashing hard. The manipulation levels seem to have reached their peak, due to which the future of the market appears uncertain.”
