What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario


Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is trading above the $26,000 level, with the bulls actively countering the bearish sentiment in the market. Bitcoin currently faces resistance at the $27,500 mark. However, if the price falls below the current level, it may cause Bitcoin to revisit the $25,400 support zone. Meanwhile, Ethereum has been maintaining a range-bound trading pattern, trading between $1,550 and $1,600.”


Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “The crypto market traded sideways with a downward bias. As per CoinGecko, the global crypto M.Cap (-0.9 percent) is currently around $1.08 trillion. Alternatively jumping between the neutral and the fear zone over the weekend, the fear and greed index is back in the neutral zone with a score of 47/100. The overall trend in the crypto market continues to be down, with bearish sentiments, particularly after the remarks from the Feds. BTC (-1.4 percent) entered Monday below $26,300. The $26,000 support is crucial, as failure to maintain it with lead to additional selling pressure on BTC. The market is expecting BTC volatility to see an uptick as Bitcoin options worth $3 billion expire on September 29.”


Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin and Ether both dipped and traded below $26,300 and $1,600, respectively. This decline followed the U.S. Federal Reserve's hawkish stance at its September meeting, signalling an upcoming rate increase and prolonged higher rates. Bitcoin's failure to surpass its 50-day moving average at $26,876 suggests a bearish trend and further downward movement could occur if it falls below $26,000. Despite October's historical bullishness for Bitcoin, caution is advised without a 50-day M.A. breakthrough. On WazirX, Frontier (FRONT) and Tomochain (TOMO) have been the top gainers in the last 24 hours.”


Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Support for bitcoin is at $26,350 and fundamental at $26,200. A break of $26,200 could intensify the bearish momentum towards the $25,400 support. The ETH/USD trading pair is showing considerable volatility, hitting resistance at $1,600 and support at $1,575. A deviation from this range can trigger further price movements. ETH could face resistance at $1,625 and $1,660 if it breaks above $1,600, while a break below $1,575 could lead to a drop to $1,535. Key indicators such as the 50-day EMA, RSI and MACD point to a bearish trend. Watching the $1,575 level is key for potential selling opportunities.”


Atulya Bhat, CMO, BuyUcoin, said, “The markets remained calm over the weekend with BTC failing to retain the $27,000 level. BTC is hovering around the $26,162 mark while ETH is changing hands at the $1,577 level which is a marginal fluctuation in their value from the previous day. The rising crude oil process and geopolitical uncertainty may restrict the crypto market momentum in the coming weeks.”


CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “Over the weekend, both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) maintained a steady price range. Bitcoin remained above the $26,000 mark despite stock market declines and a stronger US dollar, indicating its resilience. From a technical standpoint, Bitcoin's price action is currently influenced by two key levels: the 200-weekly Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $24,700, which could provide support, and the 200-weekly Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $27,800, which may act as resistance. These levels are expected to play significant roles in shaping Bitcoin's price movement in the coming weeks.”
