What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Over the past 24 hours, many cryptocurrencies experienced slight value increases. This can be attributed to mildly positive inflation data and the Ethereum Shanghai upgrade. Bitcoin was seen trading above $30,000, with resistance at $30,500, indicating that the bulls currently hold an advantage in the market. BTC's support level remains at $29,900. Meanwhile, Ethereum has entered a new era of staking withdrawals. ETH has been traded at the $1,900 level, with resistance at $1,943 and support at $1,820.”
WazirX Vice President Rajagopal Menon said, “Few market oscillators incline towards ‘Sell’ as BTC retains its $30,000 level. Ethereum’s Shapella upgrade contributed to its price increase in the last 24 hours. The absence of regulatory clarity continues to put large crypto businesses in an uncertain situation.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Bitcoin breached the $30,000 mark for the first time since June 10 and climbed to a 10-month high of $30,548 on Tuesday. The cryptocurrency posted its best month since January, gaining 20 percent in March and more than 80 percent year-to-date. Ethereum also recovered after falling to $1,856 overnight and nearing $1,900 after the inflation data. Ethereum is up 58 percent year-to-date and is transitioning to proof-of-stake from the proof-of-work network via the Shanghai upgrade.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The overall crypto market remained upbeat after inflation data showed signs of cooling down. BTC is holding strong above the $30,000 mark while Ethereum surged by over 2 percent to reach $1,908.20. ETH outperformed BTC in the last 24 hours due to the euphoria around the latest update which will make ETH staking highly flexible. The unlocking of ETH will boost market liquidity which is expected to make the blockchain more secure and will have a positive impact on ETH prices in the long term.”
