Render (RNDR) became the biggest gainer, with a 24-hour jump of over 3 percent.

What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario


Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin's price has been hovering around the $27,100 mark, coinciding with a minor uptick in US Equity markets. With geopolitical tensions on the rise, investors are opting for a cautious approach. Bitcoin now faces the challenge of breaking through the $27,300 resistance level, or it might settle for support around $27,000. In a noteworthy development, a Bitcoin developer has unveiled an innovative proposal for implementing off-chain smart contracts on the Bitcoin network. This idea is outlined in the white paper released on October 9, titled ‘BitVM: Compute Anything on Bitcoin,’ authored by Robin Linus, the project lead at ZeroSync. BitVM promises to enable Bitcoin to handle smart contracts similar to Ethereum without requiring changes to Bitcoin's consensus rules.”


Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager, CoinSwitch Markets Desk, said, “Bitcoin traded sideways for another day before we saw a decline in BTC (-1.8 percent), in the past 24 hours. The volumes on every major crypto exchange have also been on the decline, with no major movement ever since the big move in March 2023. The major near-term liquidity zones in BTC remain around the $26.9k mark and $28,900 mark. Analysts still predict a move to $25k and or even $20k before BTC starts moving towards a new high.”


Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “The markets in Asia weren’t off to a great start as Bitcoin’s three-month high dominance, and its subsequent support from investors led to an overall decline in sentiment. The geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East has started showing its effects on the Crypto market as well. While there has been a slight increase in trading volumes, the market cap has declined by almost 2 percent over the past day. However, following the pattern of the last couple of days of positive price movement, the market is expected to bounce back after a few days of uncertainty.”


Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin is currently trading at $27,140, ​​while Ethereum is priced at $1,558. This comes on the back of the Crypto Fear and Greed Index steady at 50/100, where bullish experts are bullish on Bitcoin with a $29,000 price target, but other cryptocurrencies are experiencing declines. The conflict between Israel and Hamas is having a more significant impact on the market than expected, with potential global economic impacts, and ongoing geopolitical instability is expected to maintain uncertain market conditions. Technical analysis recommends keeping a close eye on the major $27,760 level for potential trading opportunities, with Bitcoin trending bearish when broken and bullish when held.”


Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Bitcoin slipped by 2 percent in the last 24 hours and is trading just above the $27,000 mark. It is important to note that BTC dominance across crypto assets touched 51 percent (as per trading view data) which shows the resilient nature of the world’s largest digital asset. The overall market is expected to remain choppy in the coming weeks due to geopolitical uncertainty and other macroeconomic factors.” 


CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “Both BTC and ETH have experienced a decline of over 1.5 percent in the past 24 hours, while Bitcoin's dominance in the market continues to rise. This dip may be due to ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, the Ethereum Foundation's sale of 1,700 ETH, and heightened government oversight, such as the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issuing 146 alerts within the first 24 hours of a new crypto marketing regime. The FCA also added several crypto firms to its warning list, collectively contributing to market uncertainty and a bearish sentiment.”
