What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “On Monday, both Bitcoin and Ethereum remained relatively stable as investors gear up for an important week of economic events in the US. This week will feature the release of nonfarm payroll data and speeches by US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, making it a crucial time for the market. BTC has faced challenges in regaining the $22,800 level, and if the bears successfully bring the price below its current point, the next support level would be $21,480. Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, has also experienced limited trading activity around the $1,500 mark, indicating hesitation among buyers and sellers.”

WazirX Vice President Rajagopal Menon said, “Bitcoin and Ether have opened the business day with little movement, but the market sentiment remains bearish, with many investors anticipating further declines. The upcoming testimony of US Fed Chair Jerome Powell is of significant interest to investors, as any indication of a more aggressive stance on interest rates could increase market volatility, particularly in the Crypto space.”
