What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin rose by nearly 4 percent in the past 24 hours after falling to its lowest at $18,300 post the release of CPI’s data which was higher than expected. If BTC can move above the current level today, retaining its gains, we might see it rise to $20,000 soon. The second largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, has covered its losses by gaining a decent amount after the Merge. The price action correlated with the equities even though the magnitude was not the same, as buyers entered the market mid-day. The coming days would remain range-bound for the crypto spectrum.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Currently, the BTC/USD coin can find immediate support near $18,250, which is extended by a triple bottom pattern. Bitcoin is likely to show a bullish correction above the $18,250 level. Huobi Token (HT), Terra (LUNA) and OKB (OKB) continued to be the best performers in the Asian session. The general bear market was quite active for the most part of the day until the gains of the same extent negated the dip making the day to end with minimum variation from tomorrow.”
weTrade founder Prashant Kumar offered his take on the market scenario as well, "After days of being in the red, the crypto market cap on Friday saw some bullish activity with a 2.5 percent increase during early trading hours in Asia. Bitcoin is inching closer to its resistance level of $20,000. Meanwhile, Ethereum managed to regain its position and is trading above $1,300. Other cryptocurrencies including Solana, Cardano and Dogecoin all showed approximately 3 percent gains. The gains are in line with the NASDAQ which showed strong growth on Wednesday.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The overall crypto market cap is up by 3.06 percent and is currently hovering around the $943.21 billion mark. The crypto king Bitcoin is up by 3.77 percent and is currently trading at the $19,826 mark, it will be interesting to see if Bitcoin will breach the crucial $20,000 mark this week. The most popular altcoin, Ether is also up by 3.71% and is exchanging hands at $1,334.95. The overall crypto market experienced a mini-rally with positive growth across popular crypto assets like AVAX, XRP, and MATIC with UNI leading the effort with double-digit growth. The latest CPI data reported high inflation numbers due to which Bitcoin fell to the $18.1k level yesterday but crypto markets seem to have digested the high inflation data and registered healthy growth.”
