What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin traded sideways changing hands between $22,800 and $23,000 level in the past 24 hours. Despite the drop, BTC stayed within the range it has been trading in over the last couple of weeks and not far from the new year highs. BTC surged about a good percentage this year with a rise in investor confidence. However, the unexpectedly strong employment report on Friday has raised concerns among market participants. The second largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, continued to trade above the $1,600 level. The next resistance lies at the US$1,650 level. However, it might take some more time for ETH to make a move as it has not gathered enough strength to do it.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Bitcoin is trading at $22,700 with a 24-hour volume of $15 billion, a market cap of $449 billion, and is ranked #1 on CoinMarketCap. A potential drop to $22,400 is expected, and indicators show increased selling pressure, with a low possibility of $22,350 which acts as a support and resistance is near $23,250. If Bitcoin breaks the resistance then it turns out to be bullish.”
Kunji founder Anurag Dixit offered his take, “Genesis Trading, Gemini, and Digital Currency Group (DCG) have reached an agreement in a bankruptcy court to acquire certain assets of LedgerX, a cryptocurrency derivatives platform. The companies released a statement saying that this stipulated agreement would allow them to move forward with the acquisition process. The details of the agreement were not disclosed but progress is being made to ascertain relief to the maximum possible shareholders and creditors. A lot of background developments and shakeups continue to create volatility in the space along with the ever-changing macroeconomic factors."
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The crypto market remained relatively flat as investors are eagerly waiting for the Fed chief speech this week. BTC was down 0.15 percent and is trading at $22,879 while Ether is up by 0.36 percent and is trading at the $1,632 level. The unemployment rate is below 4 percent and inflation showing strong signs of cooling down we can expect some relief for the markets in the coming weeks.”
