What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin encountered a surge the previous week following a favourable US Federal court ruling in favour of Ripple, and it is presently in a consolidation phase at the $30,200 level. In recent weeks, bullish investors have been diligently working to sustain Bitcoin's price above $30,000 to prevent a decline. To accomplish this, the bulls must act promptly and exert consistent efforts to maintain the price above $31,000. Meanwhile, Ethereum is currently trading above $1,900.”
Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “BTC is back to trading around pre-Ripple ruling levels, i.e., $30,000. The SEC is likely to now review BlackRock’s spot BTC ETF application in a serious manner as the regulator adds it to the official docket. We may see a positive price action in BTC’s performance if the application is approved. ETH dipped below the $2,000 mark before the weekend's start, and has been trading around sub $1,900 levels ever since.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin price faces a setback, falling to $30,330 from decisive resistance at $31,793. Bank of America's suspension of a Coinbase user's account for Bitcoin transactions highlights the challenges for banks in handling digital assets. Meanwhile, Judge Torres' ruling that XRP is not a security drew regulatory criticism. Bitcoin finds support at $30,000, supported by an uptrend line and bullish sentiment. However, it needs to break through the resistance at $30,411. The RSI, MACD and 50-day EMA show bearish sentiment and resistance near $30,750. A break below $30,000 could lead to $29,500 and continue towards $28,700. On the downside, a break above $30,400 may target $30,700 and $31,350. Traders need to keep a close eye on $30,000 to determine the trend.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, offered his take, “India has indicated support towards digital asset monitoring against financial crimes, paving the way for consumer confidence.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The crypto market is upbeat as SEC approval for Bitcoin ETF is likely as per some media reports. BTC is holding strong above the $30,000 mark for the second week while ETH is close to the $2,000 mark. The latest developments between Ripple CEO and SEC have amplified the demand for robust regulations for the digital asset industry. The G20 meeting at Gandhinagar today under India’s presidency will also pave the way for consensus on digital asset regulations by bringing the G20 leaders on a common platform. The market is expected to avoid major fluctuations as there is no economic data released lined for this week.”
