What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Within the last 24 hours, a majority of cryptocurrencies witnessed positive momentum due to market responses to two key developments: the White House's announcement of a successful resolution to the debt ceiling crisis and better-than-expected personal consumption data from the US. At present, Bitcoin is being traded above $28,000, indicating a 3 percent surge over the past day and a successful rebound from previous weekly losses. Similarly, Ethereum observed upward movement, reaching a trading price of $1,900.”
CoinSwitch investment lead Parth Chaturvedi offered his take, “Crypto markets rallied over the weekend and are currently trading in the green. Global crypto market capitalisation is at $1.22 trillion, up ~3 percent since yesterday. The crypto fear and greed index rose by 4 points over the weekend and now stands at 52 (neutral zone). This could be attributed to the announcement by the White House about a possible deal pertaining to US debt ceiling.”
WazirX Vice President Rajagopal Menon said, “Crypto kicks off the Asian trading day on a bullish note as the White House unveils a successfully negotiated agreement to prevent a potential debt ceiling turmoil. On WazirX, PancakeSwap (CAKE) and Quant (QNT) have been the top gainers in the last 24 hours.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Bitcoin is currently trading at $28,089 and is showing a potential retest of the $27,800 region. BNB, on the other hand, is trading at $314, while Ethereum is priced at $1,905. The overall market sentiment appears bullish today.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The impasse over the US debt ceiling shows early signs of moving towards a resolution as the 99-page text was released on Sunday night which will be subject to debate in coming days. The development had an immediate impact on the crypto market as BTC and Ether jumped by 3.37 percent and 3.10 percent, respectively. Market liquidity is expected to get a boost which will drive the market momentum in the coming weeks.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “The uncertain macroeconomic climate has contributed to a decline in the crypto market, fueled by concerns surrounding inflation, crypto regulations, and the ongoing debt ceiling stalemate. In a positive turn of events, Bitcoin's sell-side risk ratio has reached an all-time low. This development indicates that investors have shown reluctance to sell their Bitcoins within the current price range, regardless of whether it would result in profit or loss. Such behaviour is typically observed when sellers on both ends become exhausted, signalling the potential for significant price movements on the horizon.”
