What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “The price of Bitcoin is consolidating above the $27,500 mark, due to long liquidations caused by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and a rise in oil prices. Bitcoin's value has experienced a remarkable increase of 66.62 percent over the past year. If the market sentiment turns bearish, it is anticipated that Bitcoin will encounter support at roughly $27,195. Meanwhile, Ethereum has been trading around the $1,580 level.”

Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “The crypto market continues to experience slight selling pressure, as riskier asset classes fall due to the Israel-Hamas conflict. As per CoinGecko, the global crypto M.Cap has fallen by 1.5 percent in the last 24 hours and is currently at $1.11 trillion. The crypto fear and greed index, however, continues to hold its position at the score of 50/100 in the neutral zone. The top 10 cryptos by M.Cap. are trading in the red. BTC (-1.1 percent) continues to trade above its support level of $27,000. Facing a more intense selling pressure, ETH was down by 2.9 percent since yesterday but still above its support level at $1,500. The market is attributing ETH’s dip to the selling of allocated ETH tokens by the Ethereum Foundation. The Foundation periodically does this to cover its operational costs, thereby also creating a temporary sell-off in the market.”

Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin investment funds saw an increase in inflows as ambitious analysts predict new breakthroughs for the token at $29,000. Ethereum price dropped after 1,700 ETH worth 2.738 million USDC was sold. In addition to an overall decline in altcoin prices and geopolitical uncertainty, this move added to the price decrease of ETH. This has also lent a certain impetus to BTC’s market sentiment.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “On the 4-hour time frame, Bitcoin finds itself at a critical point with a pivot point of $27,348 and has its sights set firmly on the immediate resistance level at $28,350. Should it manage to break this resistance, Bitcoin seems poised to target further hurdles at $29,400 and possibly even $30,785. Conversely, if the bears take control, the support level would rise to $26,630, $25,260 and a more distant safety net at $24,556. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at a somewhat neutral 48, with a slight bearish bias as it lingers below the pivotal 50. Its short-term bullish trend supports its positions above the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) of $27,500, reinforced by an ascending channel on the 4-hour chart that offers strong support around the $27,500 mark. Basically, Bitcoin's current trajectory remains favourably inclined, dependent on its ability to hold support above $27,500, and a potential breakout of the $28,500 critical level beckons if the prevailing dynamics and external conditions remain favourable.”

Atulya Bhatt, CMO of BuyUcoin, said, “The latest tension between Israel and Hamas is changing the market equation faster than we expected. The disturbance in the region may result in high oil prices and change the economic dynamics at a global level. BTC and Ether are changing hands at $27,624.20 and $1,584.73 level which is a significant dip from the previous day. Markets are expected to remain choppy in the coming weeks owing to the uncertain geo-political conditions.” 

CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “In the past 24 hours, the overall market experienced a notable dip of more than 3 percent, although it has since shown a sign of slight recovery. Notably, Bitcoin struggled to surpass the Rs 24,30,000 ($28,000) resistance level and underwent a correction. The price steadily declined below $28,000, eventually slipping beneath the $27,500 mark. However, bullish activity became evident around the $27,250 support area. The price reached a low point near $27,275 and has since begun to rise.”
