What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario


Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin consolidates at the $68,000 level following the $9B Mt. Gox transfer yesterday. However, there is a key bullish trend line on the support at $67,600. If there is a fresh increase, the next resistance would be at the $68,800 and then $69,550. If Bitcoin fails to climb above, the next support is at the $67,600 and then $67,500 level. On the other hand, Ethereum continued to trade at the $3,800 level.”


CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “After falling below 67.5k USD, BTC recovered pretty quickly to regain the 68k USD mark as BTC continues to trade in the tight range it has formed. The sell pressure on BTC seems to come from the transfer of around 140k BTC worth more than 9 billion dollars from the now defunct Mt Gox exchange to an unknown address. Mt Gox. The biggest bitcoin exchange back in 2014 is set to return Bitcoin holdings back to its creditors by 31st October 2024. Since the buying price of these crypto lies around 700 dollars, the investors sitting at around 100x gains and are expected to sell some of their holdings on receiving the Bitcoin back.”


Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin's value has plummeted to $68,725, sparking investor anxiety. Short-term sell-offs above $70,000 add to market volatility. Bitcoin dropped by $2,000 before stabilising around $68,700. Analysts warn if Bitcoin doesn't surpass $69,000, it may decline further. Immediate support is near $67,650, adding to the market's uncertainty amidst recent price swings.”


Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin bulls remain bullish despite the recent 2% drop in price due to Mt.Gox coin movements. QCP Capital sees the decline as a minor setback in the ongoing uptrend, citing strong US equity performance, political support and the upcoming Ether ETF as key bullish factors. Analysts highlight the key boundary at $68,383 with resistance at $69,566 and support at $68,127. The RSI at 49.37 suggests neutral sentiment, while the bullish trendline supports further gains. Fundstrat predicts Bitcoin could reach $150,000 by the end of the year, emphasizing patience and potential momentum above $70,000.”


Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The crypto market remained volatile with BTC and ETH witnessing marginal swings in their prices. BTC fell below the $68,000 mark but quickly recovered to the $68,800 mark, maintaining a critical support level of $68k. Ethereum on the other hand fell below the $3,900 mark despite the euphoria around the ETF approval buzz. Meme coin space is getting good traction with SHIB surging by almost 16% in just 24 hours. The market is expected to remain volatile in the coming weeks due to uncertain macroeconomic conditions.” 


CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “The crypto market has been volatile due to the news of Mt. Gox transferring BTC, causing many altcoins to fall. BTC is stuck between $68,000 and $69,000, with short-term price action looking uncertain, though it remains strong and bullish in the higher time frame. ETH is also following BTC's path and is hovering in a range. The meme category is currently outperforming the market. Notably, tomorrow's US GDP Q announcement could induce more volatility.”
