What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin remained under the $17,000 level over the weekend as prices continued to consolidate despite earlier gains. Over the past five days, the price of BTC has faced a rejection on both sides indicating indecisiveness among the market participants. If BTC can close above the $16,900 level, it is likely to encourage resumption of prior recovery.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, has been indicted on eight criminal charges by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The charges include spoofing, wash trading, and manipulation. Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has announced the acquisition of Indonesian exchange Tokocrypto, but will reportedly lay off staff as part of the deal. Bitcoin continues to trade around the $16,800 mark, with no major changes in trend despite the holiday season.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The holiday season is keeping the crypto market stable with crypto heavyweights like Bitcoin and Ether witnessing a marginal jump during the weekend. The latest Covid scare is keeping investors away from riskier assets and even traditional markets are facing the heat from a possibility of Covid-induced slowdown. We can expect the markets to remain volatile in the coming weeks owing to geo-political uncertainty among other macroeconomic factors.”
