What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Most cryptocurrencies experienced a decline ahead of the release of the US non-farm payroll data on Friday. Bitcoin dipped by nearly 2 per cent over the past day and is currently trading at the $28,000 level. Meanwhile, Ethereum has been trading above the $1,900 level, which is the highest since last August, but it has since gone down by 1 percent and is currently trading at the $1,892 level. Investors and traders are preparing for the data release tomorrow, which may result in little volatility in the market.”
WazirX Vice President Rajagopal Menon said, “After fluctuating around $28,000 for the past few weeks, Bitcoin's value recently dropped below that threshold. Despite indications of economic contraction and the aftermath of the recent banking crisis, it has remained relatively stable. Meanwhile, Ethereum has held steady just below $1,900, with investors showing interest in the upcoming Shanghai hard fork on April 12. This upgrade, also known as Shapella, will complete Ethereum's transition to a PoS network and allow for staked ETH withdrawals. On WazirX, MOBOX (MBX) and Cortex (CTXC) have been the top gainers in the last 24 hours.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Bitcoin is still in close proximity to the $27,900 price level. However, if the BTC/USD pair can break the resistance level at $28,950, this could lead to an appreciation in the value of Bitcoin, which could take the price up to $29,200 or even $30,700, a potential gain of 4 percent to 7 percent. Conversely, if a downtrend emerges, Bitcoin price may find robust support levels around $26,600 and $25,200.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The crypto market saw an interesting development where ETH has outperformed BTC in the past seven days. The euphoria around the Shanghai hard fork upgrade for ETH which is slated for April 12 is drawing investors to the second-largest crypto in the world. The crypto assets across the board were trading in red while Bitcoin dominance slipped below 46 percent. Bitcoin is trading at the $28,064.50 level, marking a marginal dip from the previous day.”
