What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Over the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has bounced back to the $30,000 mark, recuperating from previous losses. Investors appear to have regained some of their enthusiasm for assets that hold value, despite diminishing concerns about the banking sector. In order to advance further in the short term, BTC must overcome its next hurdle at the $30,500 level, while the support level stands at $29,800. Meanwhile, Ethereum has continued to strengthen its gains against Bitcoin following the Shanghai upgrade. Whether ETH will continue to outperform Bitcoin in the coming days remains to be seen.”

WazirX Vice President Rajagopal Menon said, “BTC regained its $30,000+ level, with a 2.63 percent increase. ETH went up by 0.71 percent in the last 24 hours. Amidst impressive GDP growth in the first quarter of the year, Chinese banks are exploring crypto partnerships amidst rising consumer interest. This can be pivotal in the Asia Web3 development narrative as more countries in the continent open their doors to crypto businesses. Experts indicate that continued liquidity in the market will be important for BTC and ETH to sustain its latest run.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Bitcoin remained in a narrow range of $30,200 to $30,500, but rose to $30,500 during the US trading session, turning its previous support at $30,200 into a resistance level. A continued downtrend could see BTC fall to $29,189 if it breaks below the $29,700 level.”

Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “After witnessing a minor downward trend, BTC rebounded above the critical $30,000 mark as the positive sentiment around Defi continues to grow. ETH once again touched the $2,100 mark but faced some resistance and pulled back to the $2,095 level. The current rally in the crypto market is driven by macro factors and its momentum depends on the favourable factors surrounding the financial markets.”
