What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex, told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is consolidating around $114,500 after a short rally to $118,000, while Ethereum holds steady at $4,200. Despite profit booking, the outlook remains bullish. On-chain data shows that exchanges recorded outflows of more than 420,000 ETH in the past week alone. Investors moving ETH off exchanges typically indicate reduced intent to sell, strengthening the case for an upside. Looking ahead into the week, macroeconomic data such as the US initial jobless claims, PMI data, and Jerome Powell’s speech could influence the market momentum.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Crypto markets are showing signs of moderating after a strong start to September. Bitcoin has rallied roughly 8% so far this month — one of its best Septembers in many years — with price nudging toward $117,000. Technical indicators show resistance forming around that level, and the next meaningful resistance may lie near $120K; support is holding in the zone between $110,000–$112,000. If BTC breaks above resistance with volume, further gains are possible, but a failure could lead to a pullback toward support. On the flows front, Bitcoin spot ETFs have enjoyed strong inflows recently: ~$$2.3 billion over a recent week, including ~$260-292 million on a single day.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “The crypto market is steady yet tense, with Bitcoin trading just above $114,000 as traders await a decisive breakout. The breakout at $117,200 with support near $113,700 remains the key level, and a breach of this level could set the tone for bullish momentum. Futures data shows strong call activity, with open interest rising and suggesting appetite for higher levels, possibly toward $118,600 if momentum builds. Ethereum is holding above $4,200 as holders keep price afloat despite softer sentiment, while BNB Coin continues to show resilience after its recent all-time high.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin is currently trading near $114,400, holding firm above key support at $114,000 while facing resistance around $117,000–118,000. This tight consolidation signals a potential breakout. Market sentiment is driven by expectations of U.S. rate cuts, boosting appetite for risk assets, while steady ETF inflows add institutional support. A decisive push above resistance could propel BTC toward $125,000, whereas a slip below support risks testing the $110,000 zone. Traders should watch Fed updates, inflation data, and ETF flows closely. Overall, Bitcoin remains resilient, positioning itself as a hedge and opportunity in today’s shifting global financial landscape.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Crypto markets are steady around $117K for Bitcoin after the Fed’s rate cut, showing optimism but not euphoria. Much of the move was priced in, the real driver now will be whether the Fed signals more cuts ahead and whether real demand, not just speculation, picks up.”
CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The bulls failed to intensify the volatility during the past weekend, and as a result, the Bitcoin price dropped below $115,000. Although ETH, XRP, DOGE, ADA, & SOL plunged below their respective support, BinanceCoin price sustained above $1000, heading towards a new ATH. Additionally, the crypto spot volume has also dropped significantly, while ETF inflows have remained positive. Among the top gainers are Story (IP) with an 8.92% jump and DeXe (DEXE) with 2.34%. On the other hand, Pump.fun (PUMP) dropped by over 13.50%, MYX Finance (MYX) and Aster (ASTER) by over 12%, and SPX6900 (SPX) by over 11.45%.”
Parth Srivastava, Head of Quant, 9Point Capital’s Research Team, said, “Bitcoin drifts in a holding pattern, trading sideways as if catching its breath before the next sprint. Beneath the calm surface, volatility coils like a spring. With liquidity improving and sentiment tilting bullish, the setup is ripe: the longer BTC holds steady, the more violent the eventual breakout higher could be.”
