What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “After more than four months, Bitcoin has surpassed the most awaited $70,000 mark, currently trading at $71,300. Supported by strong ETF inflows and positive market sentiment ahead of the U.S. presidential election, BTC saw a one-day increase of over 5%. The Iran-Israel conflict also contributed to the rally driving investors toward global assets. This rally has also boosted other major coins like Ethereum, Solana, BNB, and especially Dogecoin, which rose over 15% following Elon Musk’s tweet. BTC’s resistance stands at $71,400, with support at $67,900.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “After a prolonged stretch of sideways and bearish price action, Bitcoin (BTC) looks ready to challenge its all-time high of $73,700, with prices now over $71,000. Since a September plunge to $53,000, BTC has been rallying and just surpassed $70,000. Supporting this surge may be new rate cuts from major Western central banks (excluding Japan), China’s fiscal and monetary stimulus, and big inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. The U.S. election season adds further intrigue, especially with pro-crypto candidate Donald Trump gaining traction.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Bitcoin has made a remarkable leap above $71,000, reaching this milestone for the first time since June. This surge is fueled by substantial inflows into exchange-traded funds and heightened speculation ahead of next week’s U.S. elections. Ethereum and Dogecoin have also enjoyed gains of 5.67% and 14.96%, respectively, indicating a broader positive sentiment in the cryptocurrency market.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin has surged beyond $70,000, showing a 5% gain and signaling potential to break the $72,000 resistance zone. After establishing support around $66,500, BTC rose sharply past $68,000 and continues trading above $71,000. A high at $71,482 suggests bullish momentum, positioning Bitcoin above the 100-hourly SMA.The $72,000 mark is now the key resistance, with a successful breakthrough possibly pushing BTC to test $73,000 or even $75,000, approaching a new all-time high. Should BTC face a correction, support at $70,500 and $68,500 could stabilize prices. Technical indicators favor the bulls, with the hourly MACD gaining strength and the RSI maintaining a positive position above 50, hinting at continued upward movement.”
