What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario


Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Over the weekend, Bitcoin has been trading consistently above the $34,000 level, reflecting the positive sentiment regarding the potential approval of Bitcoin Spot ETF applications in the US. The market's positive sentiment was possibly reinforced by the news of the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) seeing its second-highest trading week ever, amassing $1.7 billion in trading volume. Additionally, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) recorded a substantial trading volume of $800 million. Meanwhile, Ethereum maintained a trading value above $1,700.”


Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “Broader markets, including, crypto reflected positive gains as investors prepare for the Fed meeting scheduled for Wednesday, and the release of the US jobs report. Investors are anticipating that the Federal Reserve will keep the interest rate unchanged. The global crypto M.Cap stands above $1.3 trillion, reflecting an increase of 1.1 percent since yesterday. The crypto fear and greed index also continues to stay in the greed zone despite a 4-point drop; currently at 68/100. The top 20 cryptos by M.Cap were trading in the green. BTC (+0.9 percent) continues to trade over $34,000, with investors expecting resistance at $38,000. Also, looking at institutional inflow as per data by CCData, bitcoin-based products increased their market share to 73.3 percent in September, with assets under management (AUM) rising 11.1 percent to $23.2 billion.”


Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “The market is divided in its opinion on Bitcoin’s upcoming move as breaking resistance at $35,000 as well as a price correction, both seem like a possibility. Ethereum breaking out of $1,800 level will also usher in a possible rally. Over the weekend, the market has shown signs of recovery. Despite overbought conditions, Bitcoin’s appeal remains unfazed. VanEck throwing its ring in the ETF hat has also fuelled its price movement.”


Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Analysing the daily chart of Bitcoin, we noted a confluence at the $33,920 pivot point, which is perfectly aligned with the 23.6 percent Fibonacci retracement. Sophisticated Endurance spectrum reveals at $34,500, $35,250 and $36,150. In contrast, a tapestry of support emerges intricately with an initial base at $33,000, reflecting the 38.2 percent Fibonacci retracement, followed by $32,450 and $31,800, reminiscent of the 50 percent and 61.8 percent retracement levels that culminate the complex design. In terms of technical analysis, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates bullish sentiment at 57, while the 50-day EMA indicates a short-term bullish trend at $32,800. Bitcoin's daily chart embodies robust resistance anchored by double-bottom support at $33,450, protected by the steadfast 23.6 percent Fibonacci level, with a visible consolidation phase highlighted. In short, the overarching bullish bias remains as Bitcoin holds a balance above $33,900, potentially poised to challenge the $34,500 resistance level.”


Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The crypto market had an exciting week with BTC and ETH gaining 12 percent and 5 percent, respectively. As the market rides the ETF wave, we will see a strong upward trend across digital assets in the coming weeks. Decentralised Finance (DeFi) grew by over 7 percent owing to the broader crypto rally. The Fed meeting is scheduled for next week to decide its next action to tame inflation. Any strong statement from Fed indicating tightening of monetary policy may spoil the crypto party.”


CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “BTC concluded this week with a remarkable 15 percent gain. Throughout the weekend, BTC maintained a positive stance but remained below its local resistance at $35,000. Currently, the price hovers around $34,300, while ETH is trading slightly above the local support level of $1,765. It's worth noting that this week carries significant weight for the crypto market due to various macro events, including the US FOMC meeting, the monthly announcement of the US unemployment rate, US job openings, and the US non-farm Employment Change. These events have the potential to introduce volatility to the crypto market.”
