What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin dominance stayed below the 40 per cent market even with the total crypto market cap climbing over the $1 trillion mark. As the market is starting to consolidate, we can expect the altcoins to show some good rallies. The largest altcoin, Ether, managed to stay around the $1,600 mark. The memecoins Doge and Shiba have settled down and lost some of their gains.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “The value of the global cryptocurrency market as a whole is also in the green after climbing back above $1 trillion in the previous twenty-four hours, up 2.16 per cent. BTC/USD traded in a range of $21,158.31 to $21,352.70, indicating moderate volatility over the past 24 hours. The price of Ethereum increased by 32 per cent from October 21 to October 29, setting a new local high of $1,663. This rapid rise has already resulted in a series of lower lows after October 29th, but Ether has yet to cause a substantial change in market structure by falling below the $1,479 swing low reached on October 28.”

weTrade founder Prashant Kumar offered his take on the market scenario as well, "The global crypto market cap declined by approximately 1.5 per cent over the weekend. Last week, the US Federal Reserve increased interest rates and Twitter announced various modifications to their operations which played a key role in market activity. Bitcoin and Ethereum both are trading close to $21,000 and $1,600, respectively after seeing an approximately 2 per cent decline over the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, other coins including Dogecoin, Solana, and Cardano are also in the red after seeing a loss of more 5 per cent against the previous day.”

Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “It was an exciting weekend for the crypto market as Bitcoin defied the US Fed rate hike to break above the $21,000 mark. The jump in the prices may have sparked profit booking within the short-term investor community which resulted in a healthy pullback. The overall crypto market is still above the crucial $1 trillion mark, a good sign for the overall stability of the crypto market. Bitcoin is currently trading at $20,910.92 while Ether is exchanging hands at the $1,585 level. In the altcoin space, ADA, SOL, DOT, and TRX were trading in red with MATIC being the only coin in green with a 4.58 per cent surge in the last 24 hours. The US mid-term elections tomorrow and CPI data on Thursday will be two crucial factors in deciding the future course of the crypto and traditional markets. If CPI data shows respite from soaring inflation then we may see a bull-dominated market in the coming weeks.”
