What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is currently trading around the $56,000 mark as markets await the release of the US jobs report. This report could play a key role in influencing the Federal Reserve's decision on potential rate cuts. Global equities have also seen declines, reflecting broader market caution. BTC is facing resistance at the $57,000 level, struggling to break through this critical point. A decisive move above $57,000 could pave the way for a stronger rally, potentially pushing the price higher in the coming trading sessions. Investors are watching closely for any signs that might indicate the next directional move for Bitcoin.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “The cryptocurrency market experienced a decline, with Bitcoin dipping below $57,000 and Ethereum falling below $2,400. This led to a shift in market sentiment back towards "fear." The upcoming release of US payroll data is eagerly anticipated by investors, as it could influence the Federal Reserve's decision on the size of the potential interest rate cut this month. The market's volatility reflects the uncertainty surrounding this crucial economic indicator.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Even though the value of the global cryptocurrency market has slightly decreased to $1.99 trillion, the continuous volume of $61.51 billion indicates that people are still interested in digital assets. To promote a more stable and open cryptocurrency market, India's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) is considering approval of additional offshore cryptocurrency exchanges. This initiative not only enhances regulatory clarity but also encourages innovation and investment in the sector. The FIU seeks to safeguard consumers and encourage the expansion of digital assets by creating a compliance framework.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “The crypto market remains choppy as investors and traders await the release of the key U.S. unemployment rate data today. BTC is currently trying to push above the $56,000 support level and is moving within a range. A strong push from here could take the price to the $61,600 resistance level, but if BTC loses the $56,000 support, it could drop further. Most altcoins continue to fall and appear weak.”
