Edul Patel, the CEO and Co-Founder of crypto exchange Mudrex, told ABP Live, “The crypto market witnessed a slight growth on Wednesday, following the recent sell-off. Even though Bitcoin dropped below the $20,000 level, it bounced off the local support at $18,931. If the price is maintained above it, bulls can hope for continued growth. However, BTC might need some time to make any kind of sharp moves as it has not yet accumulated enough strength. The second largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum also rebounded as bulls tried to push the token higher by buying the dip.”
Commenting on the crypto market scenario on Wednesday, Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and Co-Founder of crypto exchange Unocoin told ABP Live, “The falling streak continued on the fifth day as well but this time it got powered by the United States officially declaring the inflation rate to be more than 9 percent. While this is good for crypto in the long term with most cryptos designed to be deflationary, the immediate reaction still resulted in a significant price drop followed by some recovery. Overall, the market saw about 3 percent drop on Bitcoin prices followed by up to 5 percent on other alternate coins.”
