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 rallied for another consecutive day on Wednesday, reaching $24,000 and $1,600, with bulls dominating the market. However, both the cryptos have been seen to be running slightly lower early this morning, with bears entering the market. If bulls can hold above the current level, we might see BTC rise from $27,000 to $32,000 in the coming days. If not, we might see BTC fall back to $21,000. Similarly, if bulls can hold ETH above $1,500, we might see it reach $1,700. If not, it may fall back below the $1,400 level.”
Commenting on the crypto market scenario, Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and Co-Founder of crypto exchange Unocoin told ABP Live, “Wednesday market started with great bullish trend gathering a positive impact of up to 8 percent market capitalisation. However, over the course of the day about half of this gain got neutralised. Given the positive trend for four continuous days, short-term investors are treating this to be the reversal in the trend and considering this to be a bullish market again. This increased the volumes on exchanges by up to 30 percent but the depth charts continue to suggest that the present increase is temporary.”
