What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario


Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin has maintained its position well above the $30,000 level for the fifth consecutive day, displaying stability with minimal price fluctuations. This can be attributed to the positive sentiment surrounding the potential Bitcoin ETF and encouraging economic indicators from the US. However, it is worth noting that there has been noticeable bearish activity near the $31,000 zone. Currently, BTC faces immediate resistance at the $30,680 and $30,950 levels, while finding support at the $30,000 mark. In terms of performance, Bitcoin has witnessed a 13 percent increase in value month-to-date and an impressive 85 percent surge year-to-date.”


Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager, CoinSwitch Markets Desk, said, “BTC is up 0.3 percent and continues to stay above the $30,000 mark. A break on the upside to test the $31,500 - $33,500 range becomes more likely as long as BTC continues to maintain its position above $30,000. Most altcoins except notably Bitcoin Cash, BCH (+5.44 percent), continued to trade lower as Bitcoin dominance, currently at 51.8 percent, continues to rise. Furthermore, the most traded crypto pair ETH/BTC saw a drop to its 11-month low.”


Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, offered his take, “Bitcoin (BTC) surged after news broke that Fidelity plans to file for a spot Bitcoin ETF. The price rose to $31,000 from $30,600 but quickly dropped back to $30,500. Fidelity's previous spot Bitcoin ETF application was rejected by the SEC in 2022. On WazirX, Orchid (OXT) and Ontology (ONT) have been the top gainers in the last 24 hours."


Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Financial giant Fidelity is reportedly preparing to file for a Bitcoin ETF, which could encourage wider institutional adoption. Bitcoin's current price is $30,600, with a 24-hour trading volume of $16.1 billion, a slight increase of less than 2 percent. With a market cap of $594 billion, Bitcoin remains the top cryptocurrency. However, it faces significant resistance around the $31,000 level on the daily chart. Neutral candles such as dojis and spinners indicate waning bullish sentiment and potential exhaustion among buyers, suggesting a minor price correction. Immediate support is located near $29,600, followed by $28,250 and $26,750.”


Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “Despite a slight 0.04% decrease, the crypto market maintained robust activity over the last 24 hours, with a total volume of $36.35B. Notably, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector contributed significantly, recording a volume of $2.23B, representing 6.13% of the overall crypto market's 24-hour volume. This highlights the continued significance and resilience of DeFi within the broader crypto landscape.”


CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “Bitcoin's latest price rally has diverged further from tech stocks in June, indicating that crypto assets are increasingly charting their own course. The correlation between the two asset classes stands at just 3 percent this month, compared to an average of 60 percent in 2022.”
