What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “In a brief surge, Bitcoin surpassed the $29,500 level yesterday but is now consolidating at approximately $29,200. This drop followed news of the Bank of Japan contemplating changes to its yield curve control policy to manage real-time interest rates. Bitcoin remained unaffected by interest rate hikes from both the US central bank and the European Central Bank over the past 24 hours. However, if it fails to break through the $29,300 resistance, a continued downward movement is possible.”
Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “BTC (-0.6 per cent) is holding steady at around $29,200 and traded within a tight range of $29,000-29,500 in the last 24 hours. The top 10 cryptos by market capitalisation seem to be trading in the red, except for Solana. SOL (+0.9 percent) has been trading below a strong resistance level due to the weakening in its buying strength. Simultaneously, the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike, followed by a higher-than-expected US GDP, raises concerns about prolonged high rates. This may impact the market’s future price action, as investors may begin to move towards ‘risk-off’ asset classes.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, offered his take, “Bitcoin remains stagnant, trading slightly above $29,240. It experienced a 0.3 percent drop over the past 24 hours, maintaining its range between $29,000 to $31,800 since mid-June. Despite global economic concerns and rate hikes, BTC shows resilience, with experts anticipating significant upward movement in the 2024 halving event. On WazirX, Pendle (PENDLE) and Venus (XVS) have been the top gainers in the last 24 hours.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin technical analysis reveals that the cryptocurrency has found support at around $28,850, which is evident from the Doji series and rotating candles closing above this level. Currently, Bitcoin is trading just below notable resistance at $29,500, bolstered by a descending trend line on the four-hour time frame. This suggests the possibility of a minor BTC price correction today. Notably, Bitcoin broke through the 50-period exponential moving average (EMA), which previously acted as resistance around $29,250 and now serves as a support level. A close above this level may signal a continuation of the bullish trend, with further resistance likely around $30,000 and $30,350. Conversely, a drop below $28,850 could lead to a decline towards $28,000.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “Over the past 24 hours, there has been a noticeable change in patterns in the dynamic world of cryptocurrencies. The total crypto market volume has shrunk to $25.71 billion, experiencing a dramatic 17.43 percent decline, leading market players to pause for thought. With a total volume of $2.58 billion, DeFi continues to be strong and resilient in these circumstances, accounting for 10.05 percent of the 24-hour activity throughout the whole crypto market. After a Nikkei report regarding Japan's probable adjustment to its yield curve control policy, Bitcoin briefly declined. However, it is now stable around $29,211.02, demonstrating its unwavering dominance.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “Bitcoin remained above $29,000 despite the US Federal Reserve's decision to raise the interest rate by 25 basis points (bps). The world's largest crypto asset rose 1.5 percent within hours peaking $29,690 before retracing back to $29,300 levels. Bitcoin continues to stay within a narrow range between $29,000 and $31,500 for over a month with over 3.4 million Bitcoin addresses buying the dip below $30,000.”
