What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “The price of Bitcoin has stayed above $29,300. Even though the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 0.2 percent in July, Bitcoin's price didn't change much. Ripple's prices increased by over 6 percent over the last 24 percent, and Shiba Inu's value rose by more than 2 percent. Ethereum continues to trade between $1,800 and $1,900, similar to how it has been trading over the last week.”

Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “The crypto market continued to be rangebound with slight downward pressure in the last 24 hours. As per CoinGecko, the global crypto market capitalization is down 0.6 percent and continues to stay above $1.2 trillion. The crypto fear and greed index has fallen by 2 points and is currently in the neutral zone with a score of 51/100. Except for Solana (SOL, +1.6 percent), others from the top 10 cryptos by market capitalization were trading slightly in the red. BTC (-0.7 percent) and ETH (-0.4 percent) continue to trade around $29,000 and $1,800 levels, respectively. The market at large seems to have shown resilience around the announcement of the latest CPI numbers, which rose by 0.2 percent and were within market predictions.”

Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, offered his take, “Bitcoin and Ether open the trading day flat, demonstrating resilience in the face of macroeconomic factors. The cryptocurrency market seems unaffected by the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures, consistent with economists' predictions. Analysts continue to wonder about the reasons behind Bitcoin's struggle to surpass the $30,000 mark. This challenge is often attributed to the uncertainty surrounding SEC approval of a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), profit-taking by miners, relatively low retail participation, and resistance in the derivatives market. These factors combine to suppress market volatility.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin is hovering around $29,390 and has experienced a -0.75 percent drop in the last 24 hours due to reduced liquidity in the crypto market. This decline led to the introduction of crypto derivatives. Factors include the registration of Bitcoin ETFs and the SEC's role in influencing market dynamics. Bittrex faced accusations of unregistered securities, which affected spot trading. Bitcoin hovers around $29,400, Ether below $1,850. Traders are looking for volatile meme coins for quick profits. XRP20, an enhanced XRP on Ethereum, offers decentralized benefits and passive income stakes. The project raised $1.87 million, meeting its soft-cap goal and appealing to investors with its innovative features.”

CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “Crypto markets saw a slight dip with Bitcoin falling nearly 1 percent after US CPI print showed inflation rose to 3.2 percent annually in July, compared to the expected 3.3 percent but still significantly higher than the Federal Reserve’s desired 2 percent. Core CPI inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, came in lower at 4.7 percent in July from 4.8 percent in June. The jobless claims data for the last week rose to 248,000, exceeding the consensus projection of 230,000. While inflation remains notably higher than the Fed’s desired 2 percent target, the decelerating prices are expected to take some of the pressure off the Federal Reserve to keep hiking rates.”
