What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin experienced a brief surge above the $31,000 level, but has since consolidated around $30,600 in anticipation of the release of June inflation data and amidst a weakening US dollar. Currently, the price of BTC is maintaining its support at the crucial $30,000 zone. If BTC manages to establish stability above this level, it may signal a potential upward movement in the near future. In contrast, Ethereum has demonstrated relative stability over the past few days, with marginal gains. Despite a slight decline in buying strength, buyers still maintain an advantage over sellers in the market. The support level for ETH is currently at $1,820, while resistance is observed at $1,900.”
Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager, CoinSwitch Markets Desk, said, “The crypto market has remained flat for another day. The global crypto market capitalization is at $1.24 trillion, up 0.4 percent since yesterday. The crypto fear and greed index has jumped 7 points, moving further into the greed zone with a score of 64/100. This could be attributed to the continued investor optimism due to an upward revision of year-end BTC targets by Standard Chartered.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, offered his take, “Bitcoin holds at $30,000, while ether stagnates. According to recent data, $7 million longs and $6.73 million shorts have been liquidated in 12 hours. Experts anticipate the market awaiting signs of a price increase amid a potential rate hike pause, prompting liquidity inflow. On WazirX, FTX Token (FTX) and Standard Tokenization Protocol (STPT) have been the top gainers in the last 24 hours.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin is currently trading at $30,590. Bitcoin (BTC) has seen a decline this past week due to waning optimism among market participants who have become concerned about potential higher interest rates in the US. Despite the recent setback, BTC has been on an uptrend since news broke of BlackRock's spot bitcoin ETF filing. However, with attention shifting to macroeconomic news and the possibility of increased rate hikes, BTC's performance has been affected. The market is now fully expecting a rate hike in July and there is a 40 percent chance of another hike before the end of the year. Higher interest rates generally affect risk assets, including Bitcoin, although its long-term investor profile may provide some resilience.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The total value of all cryptocurrencies dropped by 16.51 percent to $26.9 billion over the previous day. Decentralised finance (DeFi) accounts for $2.08 billion in trading volume or 7.72 percent of the total market volume. The market's current price of $30,602 demonstrates both the cyclical nature of cryptocurrency values and the expanding significance of decentralised finance in the industry.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “Bitcoin rose above $31,000, underpinned by a bullish forecast from UK bank Standard Chartered predicting that bitcoin will reach $50,000 by the end of 2023 and $120,000 by the end of 2024. The CPI and PPI reports are significant as they can potentially impact the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates. After pausing rate increases last month, the Fed's shift towards a more hawkish stance will depend on the inflationary pressures in the economy. Whenever the interest rates rise, people tend to park money in safe haven and thereby spend less on assets like crypto, equity and vice-versa.”
