What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin's price has seen a decline below the crucial $28,000 pivot level, which can be attributed to the growing interest around BRC-20 tokens. This bearish momentum might continue if BTC is unable to surpass the resistance level of $28,150. As a result, it's approaching the $27,200 support, which could be a crucial level for Bitcoin in the near future. On the other hand, Ethereum has traded flat at the $1,800 level.”

WazirX Vice President Rajagopal Menon said, “Bitcoin and Ethereum prices continue to decline following the previous day’s pattern. XRP token price falls further amidst market uncertainty. However, Cardano witnessed an increase in on-chain activities despite low prices.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “The price of Bitcoin is currently trading around $27,600 and it may drop to around $26,900 or rise to $29,709. Shiba Inu SHIB/USD falls more than 5 percent below $0.000009, erases gains and faces the 'death cross'; an expected test of last December's lows. ETH is trading around $1,842, BNB is trading around $313.”

Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The crypto market witnessed new weekly lows as Bitcoin slipped below the $28,000 market on Monday wiping $60 billion from the crypto market. Bitcoin's decline pulled down other altcoins as well with ETH, XRP, SOL, and DOT witnessing a similar downward trend. The latest developments at Binance over the weekend may have spooked investors resulting in the latest dip in prices. The market is expected to remain choppy this week owing to the fluid macroeconomic factors.”
