What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin has surpassed the $30,000 threshold for the first time since June of last year. This surge comes as investors seem to be optimistic towards this week’s US inflation data anticipating it could influence the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy trajectory and the banking turbulence from March fades into the distance. BTC has risen by 6 percent and the new resistance level is now set at $30,500. In the event that BTC is unable to surpass this resistance, the next level of support would be at $29,200. Year-to-date, BTC has increased by 80 percent, having begun 2023 at a price of $16,600. Meanwhile, Ethereum has also experienced an upward trend, with a 3 percent rise and trading at the $1,921 level.”
WazirX Vice President Rajagopal Menon said, “Crypto tokens saw a price surge following Bitcoin’s 10-month high at $30,000. The market shows a positive sentiment towards BTC as their perception of the dollar weakens. Regulations continue to take shape across the world amidst price surges. Web3 companies are gradually turning more focus towards developing the ecosystem in Asia.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Bitcoin is trading around $30,000, having broken through a significant resistance level at $29,200. Another formidable hurdle for Bitcoin lies at $31,500, and if successfully overcome, it could lead to an increase in value up to $40,400. Meanwhile, Ethereum is trading at around $1,924.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “As expected, Bitcoin has entered an early bull phase by breaching the $30,000 mark for the first time since June 2022. The crypto market cap is at a whopping $1.23 trillion mark with BTC and ETH leading the effort. The combined effect of the Shanghai Ethereum upgrade, Bitcoin halving, and other macroeconomic factors are currently driving the momentum in the crypto market. As Bitcoin price rises, we may also see some investors liquidating their positions to book profit, which may result in a healthy pullback.”
