What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies appear to be recovering from the negative impact caused by the collapse of FTX and the subsequent ripple effects. Bitcoin reached an intraday and two-month high of over $18,200 on Thursday. Over the past two weeks, the value of Bitcoin has risen by 10 percent. In fact, it has gained 4.2 percent in the past 24 hours. According to Bloomberg, this marks the longest consecutive streak of gains for Bitcoin since July.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “US Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures can affect the cryptocurrency market. Expected CPI figures are 6.5 percent,If they beat expectations, prices may rise. If they fall short, a sell-off may occur. Bitcoin could potentially rise to $19,000 or fall to $17,500 based on these figures.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The crypto market's current momentum got a big boost after US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data showed signs of inflation cooling down. Bitcoin saw the biggest process jump in two months after it breached the $19,000 mark for a short period. Bitcoin already broke major resistance levels of $17,000 and $18,000 and it is expected to test $20,000 in the coming days. If the macroeconomic factors continue to remain favourable, we can expect the momentum to sustain in the coming weeks.”
