What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario


Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin's price is around $29,780, trading below the milestone of $30,000. The decline during the weekend could be due to increasing selling pressure after the US SEC chair expressed disappointment with the defeat of XRP’s case. Currently, investors and traders are eyeing the FOMC’s decision on interest-rate policy due on Wednesday. On another note, Ethereum experienced a brief surge, touching the resistance level at $1,900 earlier today but eventually dropping back to trade at around $1,875.”


Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “BTC (-0.3 percent) and ETH (+0.1 percent) are both trading in a narrow range around $30,000 and $1,900, respectively. After some altcoins registered positive price action during last week, they are now observing some correction. This includes LINK (-2.5 percent), SNX (-5.6 percent), SOL (-1.0 percent), and XRP (-0.7 percent). The market is also preparing itself for the US Fed’s decision on interest rate policy, scheduled for Wednesday; this rate hike is expected to be the last one.”


Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, offered his take, “Bitcoin maintains a cautious trading range near $30,000, with ongoing developments in the legal case of XRP influencing investor sentiment. Anticipated selling pressure from the US government's BTC sale and profit realisation by short-term holders add to the uncertainty. On WazirX, OriginToken (OGN) and Standard Tokenization Protocol (STPT) have been the top gainers in the last 24 hours.”


Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “The upcoming block reward halving event, which will reduce miner subsidies from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC, may have bullish implications for Bitcoin. These halving events, which occur approximately every four years, create scarcity and contribute to Bitcoin's value as a deflationary asset with a limited total supply of 21 million coins. While Bitcoin is currently showing low volatility in the trading range, a decisive close above the key $29,600 level could trigger an upward move for the cryptocurrency. A breakthrough resistance at $31,400 may set the stage for further upside, with another major target potentially around $32,500.”


Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The entire volume of the cryptocurrency market over the past day has significantly increased by 3.77 percent to reach $23.93 billion. Although the market seems to be continuing its consolidation and the moment is still upbeat, both bulls and bears must exercise caution.”
