What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin traded near the $26,900 level as investors eagerly awaited the release of the US non-farm payroll data. The price of BTC has experienced significant growth since January, surging by over 60 percent and peaking around $31,000 in mid-April. However, concerns regarding inflation and the US debt ceiling have recently caused Bitcoin to trade within a range of $26,000 to $28,000 in the past few weeks. The immediate support level for BTC stands at $26,500, while resistance is at $27,200. Meanwhile, Ethereum is currently being traded at approximately $1,870.”
Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “Contrary to yesterday’s performance, all top 10 cryptos by market capitalization are currently trading in the green. BTC, trading around $27,000, is up ~0.7 percent in the last 24 hours. ETH has outperformed BTC with a ~1.6 percent gain since yesterday and now trades around $1,900. Meanwhile, Tether’s USDT has regained its previous all-time high market capitalisation despite a shrinking stablecoin market.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, offered his take, "Bitcoin, valued at approximately $26,835, has displayed remarkable resilience in the face of the US House's recent decision to pass a debt ceiling increase, which guarantees short-term payment of government expenses. On WazirX, Celo (CELO) and MOBOX (MBOX) have been the top gainers in the last 24 hours."
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder, Unocoin said, “Bitcoin price is showing slightly bearish sentiment and is hovering around $26,900. It hit the 78.6 percent Fibonacci retracement level in the 4-hour time frame and fell towards the next support level at $26,500. IOTA is consolidating around the 0.5 Fib level at $0.2000 with 20-day and 50-day EMA support. LTC is showing increased volume, indicating strong buying interest, and is currently trading around $95.13, up 5 percent. Ethereum price today is $1,876.94. Ethereum is up 1.20 percent in the last 24 hours.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The global crypto market cap is $1.14T, representing a 1.12 percent increase over the past day. The total crypto market volume in the last 24 hours amounted to $29.64 billion, indicating a decrease of 15.48 percent. Bitcoin's dominance currently stands at 45.95 percent, reflecting a decrease of 0.08 percent over the day. The global crypto market has experienced a slight increase in its overall market cap, indicating a positive trend. However, the market volume has witnessed a significant decrease of 15.48 percent over the past day, suggesting lower trading activity during this period.”
