What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Following the release of the non-farm payrolls report, which revealed that the US economy added 236,000 jobs the previous month, most cryptocurrencies experienced a surge in value. Bitcoin's price surpassed $28,000, with its support level currently established at $27,900 and resistance at $29,200. In the meantime, Ethereum is progressing towards reaching the $1,900 mark and is presently trading at $1,850 in anticipation of the upcoming Shanghai update scheduled for April 12.”
WazirX Vice President Rajagopal Menon said, “Ahead of Ethereum’s Shanghai upgrade, most holders are not expected to sell their staked tokens as they sit at a loss. With a drop in Ethereum’s market cap, there has been a decline for ETH liquid staking tokens. After a few days of price fluctuations, BTC now stands around $28,000. Regulators continue to tighten their stance on crypto, taking cues from the FTX collapse and subsequent market crash.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “If Bitcoin is able to break through its current resistance level, we may see a significant price increase, potentially reaching $28,900 or even $29,250. On the other hand, if the current downtrend continues, we can expect significant support around $26,500 and $25,500. As of now, Bitcoin is trading at around $28,200.”
