What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin continues its bullish streak creating a new all-time high of $95,000. Market sentiment grew stronger from Bloomberg's report of Trump’s plan to establish a dedicated White House role for crypto policy. The anticipation of faster regulatory clarity coupled with BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF options projecting a $176k price target by 2026 has driven BTC’s price to the $95K milestone. BTC now faces resistance at the previous high of $95,900, with support holding at $92,800, as investors remain confident about its upward trajectory.”
Balaji Srihari, Business Head, CoinSwitch, said, “Bitcoin surged to an all-time high, surpassing $94,000, signalling that the much-anticipated $100,000 milestone could be within reach- many analysts predict that this mark could be achieved as early as the end of November. Since the recent U.S. election, Bitcoin has been consistently setting new records, encouraged by expectations of a more supportive regulatory framework and a potential national Bitcoin reserve; that can legitimize Bitcoin as a government-backed asset.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin (BTC) jumped above $96,500 in early Asian trading and is nearing the $100,000 mark, which would push its market cap above $2 trillion. The rally, which is up nearly 30% in the past 14 days, is being fueled by a pro-crypto-American government after the Republican victory and the Federal Reserve's recent rate cut, which has revived risk appetite. The rally is being dubbed the "Trump trade" with assets broadly rallying since Donald Trump won the election. Strong interest in BlackRock's IBIT options, which track bitcoin prices, and a supportive pro-crypto cabinet are driving forces.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Bitcoin has seen significant growth, reaching over $96,000, close to hitting the crucial $100,000 milestone that would push its market value above $2 trillion. This surge, driven by a Republican win in the recent U.S. elections, has seen BTC gain nearly 30% over the past two weeks. Additionally, the launch of BlackRock’s IBIT option has attracted significant interest, with an impressive trading volume of 73,000 contracts within the first hour. Investors are optimistic and targeting as high as $200,000 in the coming months as institutional confidence in Bitcoin continues to grow.”
Sumit Gupta, co-founder, CoinDCX, said, “Bitcoin has surged to an impressive $95,040, marking a key milestone as it approaches the $100,000 threshold. Bitcoin has more than doubled in value this year, with a remarkable 40% increase in just the past two weeks. This meteoric rise follows Donald Trump's election as the next U.S. president, alongside the election of several pro-crypto lawmakers to Congress, sparking optimism for the future of digital assets.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “The Bitcoin rally to $97,000 spotlights the growing dominance of BTC as one of the world's top assets, driven by institutional adoption and the beginning of speculative interest in iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) options. With a market capitalization of $1.86 trillion, bitcoin can arguably rival traditional financial institutions in terms of global importance. Launches such as BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust have provided tremendous liquidity boost and price stability, amassing $1.9 billion in notional exposure and trading 354,000 contracts on the opening day. Yet the extreme optimism of price targets, such as $170,000, represents exceptions in an otherwise leverage-driven options trading strategy.”
