What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Edul Patel, the CEO and Co-Founder of crypto exchange Mudrex, told ABP Live, “Bitcoin and Ethereum continued to hover for another consecutive day. BTC has retested the $23,000 level after weeks of trading between $17,000 and $21,000. The next vital level of BTC will be $25,000 if the upward trend continues. The second largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, rose for the seventh consecutive day on Tuesday, with the price touching the $1,600 level. ETH has soared more than 45 percent over the past week, outperforming the market. Even though there might be several reasons for the surge, the prominent one could be the Merge. The market's overall momentum appears bullish as investors' sentiment rises.”
Commenting on the crypto market scenario, Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and Co-Founder of crypto exchange Unocoin told ABP Live, “Tuesday saw a significant recovery across most of the coins and tokens. While the well-known coins like Bitcoin gained ground during the first half, the bullish move during the second half was led by alternate coins like ETH, SOL, and DOT. The recovery topped up to 9 percent just before a small correction kicked in and closed the day with about a 7 percent increase in market capitalisation. The independent blockchain tokens saw up to a 15 percent increase in a single day making it a day with the highest recovery in the last 60 days”
Tushar Gandotra, Founder and CEO of crypto exchange FiEx, told ABP Live, “There has been a much-needed respite from the weekly downtrend for the last 16-17 weeks. After so much red, we finally see some uptrend. The market structure has changed and there is a good possibility for higher highs in the coming weeks. Be careful in this uptrend and have strong stop-losses in place. We are moving upwards but might not be in the clear yet.”
