What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Major cryptocurrencies rose over the strong comments of Elon Musk on the crypto market on Monday. Bitcoin started the week trading at the $16,700 level as volatility in the crypto market continued following the collapse of FTX. BTC’s support now lies at $15,500, while the resistance holds at $17,200. On the other hand, Ethereum has bounced off its support level at $1,180. It is likely that ETH might consolidate around the $1,220 area. If buyers can hold the gained initiative, the correction may lead to the test of the $1,300 zone this week.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Over the past 24 hours, TWT has moved between the levels of $1.83 and $2.71, indicating high volatility. The TWT rally is attracting a lot of attention, as seen in the token's trade volumes of over $820 million in the last 24 hours. Due to prolonged market volatility following last week's FTX decline, Bitcoin (BTC) started the week trading below $17,000. After the fall of FTX, the market struggled to find support; BTC has been trading at this level throughout the day. Bitcoin and Ethereum are now trading in the red after a week of volatility. Bitcoin has returned to the $16,000 level. Dogecoin was currently trading at $0.08, down 10 percent from Shiba Inu which was also trading at $0.000008.”

weTrade founder Prashant Kumar offered his take on the market scenario as well, "Key cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin and Ethereum showed steady behaviour days after the FTX implosion got investors to panic sell. The global crypto market saw a 5 percent increase over the past day. Bitcoin held onto its most recent support level of $16,000 and Ethereum remained steady at $1,200. Other cryptocurrencies including XRP, Polygon, and Tron also showed some positive changes of above 10 percent. Recent events have brought forth an urgent need for regulations in the sector and the same being taken up during the G20 meeting today is a start.”

Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The crypto market has started to digest the FTX collapse and has embarked on the recovery path. The data shows that Bitcoin is holding steady along with Ethereum with a jump of 4.22 percent and 6.09 percent, respectively. Most of the crypto assets which were caught in the FTX fallout have started the recovery process and it seems evident that the crypto market will emerge stronger from the FTX crisis as it has done in the past. Solana also ended its downward trend with a jump of over 12 percent. Healthy crypto regulation is the need of the hour.”
