What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin traded sideways on Wednesday as investors weighed the latest ADP’s employment data. BTC has been trading above its psychological level at $20,000 for the past two days. The major factors driving the price of BTC in the last few weeks are whale accumulation and the US dollar index rising to a 20-year high. If BTC can stay above the current level, we might see an upward growth above the $22,400 level with a change in the trendline soon.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Most of the major cryptocurrencies were down during Wednesday morning trading, with Uniswap, the biggest mover, dipping 3.38 percent to $6.52.The price of Bitcoin rose 1 percent to $20,100 in the last 24 hours. The biggest cryptocurrency bounced back above the psychologically important $20,000 level on Wednesday, having come perilously close to one-year lows below $18,500 just last week.”
weTrade founder Prashant Kumar offered his take on the market scenario as well, "Overall, some positive movement in the world of cryptocurrency on Thursday morning during Asia trading hours. With an indication of a less aggressive tightening on inflation by the Federal Reserve, the market is slowly opening up and we could have higher gains if the trend holds. Bitcoin crossed the $20,000 mark, and Ethereum also saw some gains and is inching closer to the $1,400 mark. The global crypto market cap, while still under the $1 trillion mark, saw an increase of 1 percent over the past day.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The crypto heavyweights, Bitcoin and Ethereum have gained 4.62 percent and 2.52 percent, respectively, in the past seven days which has resulted in a mini rally across crypto assets. The crypto market is also witnessing some positive news like giant investment fidelity considering offering Bitcoin to retail investors and fast food chain McDonald's starting to accept Bitcoin and Tether as payment modes. The growth momentum in the coming weeks will depend on the macroeconomic factors surrounding the financial markets.”
