What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin rose above $24,000 on Thursday as markets continued to react to the recent US Federal Reserve policy. This marked the first time it reached this level since August, but it quickly fell back to $23,500 due to volatility. Meanwhile, Ethereum saw a surge, with prices almost hitting $1,700, its highest since September, and continuing to trade above $1,600. The immediate resistance for Ethereum is now at $1,700, with the next major resistance near $1,720. If Ethereum cannot clear the $1,700 resistance, it could result in a downward correction.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Bitcoin is currently trading at $23,565 with a 24-hour trading volume of $30 billion and a market cap of $454 billion. The rate is up 2.50 percent over the past week, but recently struggled to break through $24,000 and tested support at $23,000. If it breaks below this level, it could drop to $22,600 or $22,350 and potentially lead to a bullish reversal.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The crypto market is on the optimistic side after the US central banks slowed down the interest rate hike to 25 basis points in its latest announcement. Bitcoin briefly crossed the $24,000 mark on Wednesday night to touch a 6-month high. Ethereum which follows the BTC trend witnessed a healthy jump and is exchanging hands at the $1,641 level. The momentum in the digital asset market is expected to continue with macroeconomic factors becoming less hostile.”
