What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario


Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin saw profit-booking after briefly reaching $66,000. It is currently trading at $64,500. BTC is struggling to break past resistance. Despite this, strong gains in September, backed by strong spot ETF inflows and increasing interest from institutions like MicroStrategy, are keeping the momentum. As September ends, Bitcoin faces key resistance at $66,500, with support at $64,200. Additionally, FTX is also set to repay $16 Billion from today which could also impact the broader market.”


CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “BTC tested the key psychological support of 65k USD on the early hours of Monday as Japanese stock market index Nikkie 225 opened close to 2% lower than the previous close on Friday - indicating that even as the world seems to be running towards risk-on assets, Japanese are doing otherwise. This data comes in as the Chinese stock market has grown more than 16% in the last week with the the news of China putting in more stimulus in the market, creating a post-covid scenario where risk-on assets showed tremendous growth in a short period of time.”


Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “The recent surge in net inflows for spot Bitcoin ETFs, exceeding $1 billion in just one week, reflects a strong resurgence of investor confidence, particularly following the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut. This momentum highlights a critical turning point in market sentiment, with Ark Invest leading the charge. Moreover, the renewed interest in spot Ethereum ETFs, which recorded their second-best week since launch, signals a potential shift in market dynamics. As investors diversify their portfolios, we may be witnessing the beginning of a broader recovery in the crypto space. The trends we are observing indicate that the market is increasingly receptive to digital assets, suggesting promising opportunities for both Bitcoin and Ethereum moving forward." 


Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Several factors indicate a potential rise in Bitcoin's price this quarter. Seasonality, coupled with expectations of a global central bank easing cycle, could boost gains. The upcoming U.S. Presidential election in November may also impact market sentiment, particularly with Donald Trump, a known crypto supporter, running against Vice President Kamala Harris, who has recently shown a more positive stance toward cryptocurrencies. Historically, Bitcoin rallies intensify around 170 days post-halving, suggesting bullish trends ahead. Institutional demand from Bitcoin ETFs is rising, likely to drive further attention. Bulls are eyeing resistance levels starting at $70,000, with speculation around a possible $100,000 target as favourable economic conditions and political events unfold.”


Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has shown remarkable recovery, trading over $64,000 and approaching the significant $70,000 mark. Ethereum and Solana are also gaining traction, reflecting positive momentum across the market. Notably, with a potential return on investment of 1200%, CYBRO's presale has surpassed $2.5 million, drawing interest from cryptocurrency whales. The positive sentiment in the market and the existence of significant support levels give Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies a promising future.” 


CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “BTC continues its upward trend, having crossed the $66,000 mark last week. The positive sentiment surrounding Bitcoin remains strong, and it's expected to maintain momentum. BTC has officially formed a higher high, a key bullish indicator. Historically, the fourth quarter (OND) has been the most bullish period, and a similar trend is anticipated this cycle.”
