What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin consolidated around $27,500 following its ascent above $28,000. While the initial market sentiment was optimistic due to this rally, the US Federal Reserve's hawkish comments, weak trading volumes in ETH futures, and delays in Bitcoin ETFs have contributed to the slowdown in the trend. So, BTC is likely to trade sideways. Currently, neither the bulls nor the bears have asserted dominance, with resistance at $27,850 and support at $27,400.”

Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “Most of the top 10 cryptos by M.Cap seems to be trading slightly in the red. Bitcoin crossed the $28,000 level again, albeit momentarily, before coming back to trading around $27,500 for the second time in three days. Seeing BTC’s price action, the market is beginning to establish a bullish pattern. However, owing to the absence of new capital flowing into the markets, such rallies will be short-lived. ETH (-1.4 percent) is trading above $1,600. SOL (+0.1 percent) and ADA (+1.7 percent) seem to be the only ones trading in the green amongst the top 10 cryptos. While SOL’s price gain is minimal, ADA’s price action comes due to a rise of TVL in the DeFi Protocols from the Cardano ecosystem.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “On October 6, Bitcoin trading as BTC/USD finds itself at a decisive moment at $27,279, showing decisive movement over the past 24 hours. The pivot point stands at this level with immediate resistance at $27,873 and further hurdles at $28,460 and an impressive $29,997. Conversely, selling pressure could lead Bitcoin to seek support at $26,798, followed by $26,414 and $25,982. The RSI at 49 suggests a balanced market sentiment, while the 50-day EMA coincides with the pivot point at $27,279, potentially indicating a short-term bullish trend above and bearish momentum below. Although there is no major news affecting Bitcoin at the moment, it seems to be at a crossroads. The overarching sentiment is bullish above $27,275, but could turn bearish if it falls below that mark. Traders and investors should keep a close eye.”

Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The overall crypto market showed bearish sentiment as the FTX trial received some harsh comments from the judge. Crypto heavyweights like BTC and ETH were trading at $27,575.18 and $1,624.88 respectively, which is a marginal fluctuation from the previous day. The next market movement may be defined by improvement in the macroeconomic factors surrounding the financial markets.” 

CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “Bitcoin (BTC) held steady around Rs 23,90,000 ($27,500), while Ethereum (ETH) experienced a 2 percent dip over the last 24 hours. Investors are awaiting the upcoming announcements of the US Nonfarm Payrolls(monthly) and US Unemployment Rate(monthly) on Friday, October 6. Despite the stability in BTC's price, the US dollar displayed significant volatility, but BTC remained resilient against sudden movements in the Dollar Index (DXY).”
