What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has maintained a position above the $30,000 mark, experiencing a 5 percent increase compared to the previous day. This upward trend has been fueled by investor enthusiasm following the announcement of multiple spot Bitcoin ETF filings. After a prolonged period of decline, BTC has reached its highest value since April 2023. Its month-to-date gains exceed 10 percent and year-to-date gains stand at an impressive 80 per cent. Similarly, Ethereum has surged above the $1,900 level, indicating strong buying activity.”

Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “BTC, up 5.6 percent, crossed its resistance level of $30,000 for the first time since April and currently trading above it. Market confidence has been on the rise as BlackRock has successfully attained over 500 ETF applications, with only one denial. This has started institutional entry into the BTC ETFs by major financial institutions like WisdomTree and Invesco. Fidelity is rumoured to join the bandwagon.”

Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, offered his take, “Bitcoin’s price continues to gain momentum as more financial institutions aid in crypto adoption globally. The market indicators for the largest crypto token indicate a strong ‘Buy’ sentiment for the second day in a row."

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin is currently trading at $30,800 and Ethereum is currently around $1,917. The price of Bitcoin has crossed $30,000 and is aiming to reach $31,000, which may lead to a 15 percent increase towards $35,000. The rising momentum of buyers is evident through the rising Relative Strength Index (RSI) and positive green histograms, which indicate bullish dominance. Ethereum (ETH) is also benefiting from Bitcoin's rally with a 5 percent daily gain and a target of $1,941. However, if Bitcoin shows exhaustion, it could break ETH's rally and potentially cause a drop below the 50-day EMA. Ripple (XRP) is trading with a bullish bias, but is facing resistance at the $0.528-$0.520 bid zone, which could turn into blocking failed orders if not breached.”

Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The crypto market has experienced a remarkable upswing in trading activity, with a total volume of $59.34 billion over the past 24 hours, representing a substantial 35.35 percent increase. Within this dynamic landscape, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector has made significant strides, contributing $3.61 billion in volume, accounting for 6.08 percent of the overall crypto market activity. Additionally, stablecoins have emerged as a dominant force, boasting a volume of $55.33 billion, making up an impressive 93.24 percent of the total crypto market 24-hour volume. Notably, Bitcoin has crossed the $30,000 mark, further solidifying its position as a leading cryptocurrency.” 

CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “EDX Markets, a crypto-platform supported by Schwab and Fidelity, has commenced trading for popular cryptos such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash. Notably, an institutional non-custodial wallet, meaning it does not hold customer crypto-assets but relies on third-party custodians to ensure the security of customer funds. This approach eliminates concerns about potential fund misappropriation. The emergence of EDX, backed by prominent firms like Citadel Securities and Fidelity Digital Assets, has the potential to reshape the digital asset landscape, particularly in the face of increased scrutiny of the sector by US regulators.”
