What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Edul Patel, the CEO and Co-Founder of Mudrex, told ABP Live, “The crypto market continued on a bearish trend for another consecutive day on Tuesday. The two largest cryptos, Bitcoin and Ethereum, surrendered their weekly gains with increasing selling pressure. The market seems to react to the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee meet-up. Bitcoin may rise or fall ahead of the meet-up. Investors might push it a bit up, perceiving it as a lower-risk asset than others ahead of the FOMC meeting. On the other hand, there are some chances that bears may test the $20,000 level.”
Commenting on the crypto market scenario, Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and Co-Founder of Unocoin told ABP Live, “Tuesday was one of the days where crypto prices fell by as much as 10%. The corrections don’t seem to have been triggered due to some specific news but however institutional investors trying to exit for time being is driving the prices even lower. Most of the alternate coins did follow the trend of bitcoin throughout the day except that bitcoin fell overall by 5 percent and most of the alts fell by 10 percent. The second-biggest crypto by market cap, Ether, saw a sharp correction of up to 12 percent that got gathered over the full day.”
