What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin experienced a swift recovery after dropping to $27,000 on Wednesday, as investors rallied and pushed its value back up to over $28,000. This level was reached earlier in the week when hopes were high for a reduction in central bank hawkishness. In the past 24 hours, BTC has gained approximately 3 percent, resulting in an overall increase of around 22 percent this month and over 65 percent since the start of the year.”
WazirX Vice President Rajagopal Menon said, “The Crypto market sees a green uptick as Bitcoin rebounds above $28,000 with a 3.8 percent gain in the past 24 hours, despite a recent US Fed interest rate hike and regulatory concerns. This upward momentum has driven BTC to a 22 percent gain this month and a more than 65 percent increase since the start of the year. Bitcoin's ability to withstand regulatory pressure and banking turmoil is a testament to its resilience and strength in the crypto market.”
Kunji founder Anurag Dixit offered his take, “Coinbase received a Wells notice from the SEC, causing a sharp drop in its share price which is now stabilized at a dip of 13 percent in a day. Despite the exchange's compliance efforts and engagement with regulators, the SEC's action may be seen as harsh, raising concerns about the impact on innovation in the crypto industry. This highlights the need for clear regulatory frameworks and communication between regulators and industry players to avoid such unexpected actions."
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Bitcoin technical analysis shows an uptrend with resistance at $28,950 and support levels around $26,600 and $25,200 in a downtrend. ETH is trading around $1813, BNB is trading around $327.”
