What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Edul Patel, the CEO and Co-Founder of Mudrex, told ABP Live, “Bitcoin and Ethereum rose for another consecutive day. BTC broke above the $24,000 level in the past 24 hours in response to the US central bank’s latest interest rate hike. BTC’s support now lies at $21,000, while resistance is at $25,000. The second largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, has rocketed by nearly 7 percent over the past day. If bulls can hold Ethereum at the current level today, we might see it testing the $1,700 level, which can lead to the $2,000 level in the coming week.”
Commenting on the crypto market scenario, Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and Co-Founder of Unocoin told ABP Live, “The Friday followed by the weekend saw a bumpy ride when it comes to prices of cryptos. The increase over this period went as high as 10 percent and eventually got the correction of 2 percent by the time Sunday ended. It is rare to see such an increase during the weekend. Among the alternate coins, the ones trying to create their own blockchain were the winners with as much as a 15 percent increase. The ones attempting to become layer-2 solutions also saw similar increase.”
FiEx Founder and CEO Tushar Gandotra told ABP Live, "As anticipation increases for its long-awaited software upgrade, which will enable a transition from the current system of utilising miners to a more energy-efficient one using staked currencies, the price of ether has increased in recent weeks. After being pushed back several years, the transition to this 'proof-of-stake' system is anticipated to happen in September. In the upcoming weeks, a number of events will be held for prospective stakers and other community members. Ethereum developers have lately indicated significant progress in testing the new system."
