What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario


Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin started a fresh week by maintaining its position above the support level of $27,000, following a downward correction when it could not surpass the $28,000 resistance zone the previous week. Despite this setback, bullish activity appears to be around the $27,000 support mark. Currently, the immediate obstacle for BTC stands at the $28,150 level, and a breakthrough above this point could trigger a significant upswing. Meanwhile, Ethereum remains above the $1,700 level.”


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, “BTC is holding up its price in the $27,500-$28,000 range amidst the challenging macro and banking environment. BTC'S momentum in past few weeks was reassuring, but significant headwinds aren't over yet for the broader market to propel to higher highs in the near future."


Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Bitcoin's current price is $28,500 with a 24-hour trading volume of $27.6 billion, up 1.5 percent. It is the highest-ranked cryptocurrency on CoinMarketCap with a market cap of $550 billion. The BTC/USD pair is consolidating around $27,800 and broke the $29,250 resistance level. The current bullish trend suggests the possibility of further growth in the value of Bitcoin to $29,250 or even $30,700. ETH is trading around 1766, BNB at $328.”


Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The crypto market remained relatively flat over the weekend with BTC still hovering around the $28,000 mark while ETH is marginally up and is trading at the $1,763 level. The latest developments at Coinbase may keep investors on their toes in the coming weeks and will have a significant impact on investor sentiment. The crypto market has absorbed the impact of the rate hike pushed by FOMC.”
