What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin was seen consolidating above the crucial $28,000 mark in the past 24 hours following a recent surge past $29,000. This consolidation could be due to the anticipation of the upcoming U.S. GDP report. There is a bullish trend line providing support of around $27,900. Although BTC is currently facing resistance at the $28,500 level and the $28,850 zone, its key uptrend support remains robust despite lacking the momentum for a significant move. Meanwhile, Ethereum has traded steadily above the $1,800 level in the past day.”

WazirX Vice President Rajagopal Menon said, “The exponential moving average for Bitcoin has indicated a ‘Buy’ signal as the token briefly touched $29,000 levels in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin’s correlation with the stock market is at an all-time low since 2021, with a shift in narrative favouring Crypto over TradFi. On WazirX, Icon (ICX) and Stellar (XLM) have been the top gainers in the last 24 hours.”

Kunji founder Anurag Dixit offered his take, “The US GDP QoQ data marked in at 2.6 instead of the expected 2.7 mark, which led to a slight pullback in BTC."

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “The current market price of Bitcoin is $28,108. The current technical outlook remains relatively stable, hovering around the $27,900 price level. A break of the resistance at $28,950 could lead to a potential rally for Bitcoin to $29,200 or even $30,700, while strong support levels are expected around $26,600 and $25,200 if the downtrend continues.”

Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The crypto market remains flat with BTC and ETH showing marginal movement in their prices. BTC is still hovering around the $28,000 mark while ETH is exchanging hands at $1,803.24 while the overall crypto market cap stands at $1.18 trillion. Bitcoin volatility is expected as options worth $4 billion will expire today.”
