What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin continues to trade below the $21,000 level over the past 24 hours. BTC is consolidated under the resistance of $21,000. If BTC can trade sideways this week, bulls may lose further and drop to the nearest support line. If demand grows slightly today, we might soon see BTC retesting the $21,000 level. If bulls lose momentum, BTC might go down to $20,300 and then to $19,600.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, the co-founder and CEO of Unocoin, said, "Markets are rising in anticipation of a global economic slowdown that will prompt the Fed to potentially ease its hawkish stance. Markets still expect a 75 bps hike at the upcoming FOMC meeting, however, the odds of a 50 bps hike have increased slightly. The US Fed is due to announce its interest rate revisions on November 2. Dogecoin (DOGE) saw the most significant movement. As the announcement of Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter hit the headlines, the meme coin rallied around 40 percent over the past week."
weTrade founder Prashant Kumar offered his take on the market scenario as well, "Diwali bonanza seems to continue for crypto investors as the global market cap saw an approximately 5 per cent rise over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin rallied and broke the $20,000 mark for the first time in three weeks. Ethereum also saw big gains of approximately 10.5 per cent, taking it closer to $1,500. Positive momentum around the appointment of UK prime minister Rishi Sunak and global markets also helped the market.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “Investors who were betting on the price rise of Bitcoin, liquidated their positions which resulted in a short squeeze, creating bullish sentiment around the world’s largest cryptocurrency. The overall crypto market cap is above the $1 trillion mark, mainly driven by the growth momentum of crypto heavyweights like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Elon Musk’s Twitter deal is shaking the meme coin space with significant price movements of SHIB and DOGE. The next US Fed meeting is lined up for November and any rate hike will have a considerable impact on the market in the coming months. UK’s CPI data is also expected next month and will have a considerable impact on the prices of crypto assets across the board.”
