What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin's price has recently solidified its position above the $26,100 level, and this development may be attributed to the US 10-year Treasury yield surging to 4.55 percent, matching its highest level in approximately 16 years. This significant rise in interest rates has had a similar impact on the equity markets. Bitcoin has recorded a 0.58 percent increase in value this month, contributing to an impressive 58 percent gain over the year so far. Meanwhile, Ethereum continues to trade within the range of $1,550 to $1,600. In other news, four members of the House Financial Services Committee have called on the SEC to expedite the approval of ETF applications.”
Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager, CoinSwitch Markets Desk, said, “In the last 24 hours, BTC has traded flat as it tries to find support near the $26,000 mark and trading in a very narrow range of less than 2 percent. While its reward-halving event is getting closer, the Bitcoin blockchain has achieved a new milestone as the total number of transactions on the blockchain has surpassed 900 million transactions. It is important to note that Bitcoin volumes on centralized exchanges have hit its 5-year low. The last time we saw this was in Sep 2018 when Bitcoin was nearing the close of its bear cycle.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin’s low volatility might be affecting its trading volumes as traders start losing interest due to lack of higher gains. An indefinite timeline for Bitcoin’s ETF approval is also dampening the spirit of traders. However, Microstrategy’s latest Bitcoin purchase has infused some positive sentiment in the market, taking it above $26,000. The Fed has also hinted at possibly higher interest rates to bring down inflation, though it remains uncertain. The Moving Averages in Bitcoin continue to indicate a ‘Sell’ sentiment.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The crypto market remained flat during the last 24 hours as traders await the Fed chief’s speech on Thursday which will give us a clear picture of future rate hikes. The interest rates are already at a higher level as a result of contentious rate hikes to cool down inflation and any further rate hike will make borrowing a costly affair. BTC and ETH are trading at $26,221.15 and $1,591.14 which is a marginal fluctuation from the previous day.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin's recent price action has been characterised by sideways trading, falling below the key support level of $26,500. This trend suggests a possible downside, potentially breaking the important $26,000 barrier. Despite numerous attempts, the primary cryptocurrency struggled to clear the $27,500 resistance, leading to a remarkable pullback. Bitcoin's downward trajectory pushed it below the vital $27,000 and $26,500 support levels, signalling bearish sentiment. While it briefly dipped below the key $26,200 level and is nearing $26,000, it recently stabilised around $26,026, showing some signs of easing losses. Currently, Bitcoin faces resistance at $26,350 and $26,500, with the potential to rise if it breaks above $26,700, or fall to $25,400 or even $25,000 if it doesn't.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin's price remained stable and traded within a range above the $26,000 support zone. Meanwhile, Ethereum made slight gains but couldn't cross the $1,600 threshold. Unless Bitcoin manages to surpass the end-of-August high at $28,000, the most likely direction for its price remains sideways to down as per the technicals. Looking at the broader picture, any drop below $25,000 could have significant implications. Notably, this Friday, a substantial number of BTC and ETH options contracts are set to expire on Deribit, with 117,000 BTC options and 1.1 million ETH options reaching their expiration. This event has the potential to increase volatility in the prices of these cryptocurrencies.”
