What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin's price has surged past $25,900, which may be because of renewed enthusiasm in the US Bitcoin Spot ETF competition. Franklin Templeton, a prominent asset management firm, recently submitted an application to the US SEC. This may have caused a bullish market sentiment. Interestingly, the count of wallets containing 0.1 BTC hit a historic peak of 12 million, suggesting increasing investor confidence in Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Ethereum has maintained its position near the $1600 level.”
Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager, CoinSwitch Markets Desk, said, “After a two-day decline of around 3.8 percent, Bitcoin (BTC) prices jumped as high as 5 percent, surpassing even $26,500 in the last 24 hours. The FTX court hearing is scheduled to come out today alongside the awaited inflation data. The forecast this time is an YoY increase of 3.6 percent which is more than the previous 3.2 percent. Increased inflation can be another bearish catalyst the crypto market might have to withstand.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Market data for Bitcoin indicates a ‘short squeeze’ which could be responsible for the price increase of the token in the last 24 hours. Ethereum faced a similar situation which increased the price of the token by 2.61 percent in the last 24 hours. The decreasing surface area of the Bollinger Bands for Bitcoin in the last 24 hours shows decreasing volatility for the token as compared to last week’s levels. If the CPI data, which is due today, stands on the lower side, the rate hikes by the Federal Reserve could see some relief.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin technical analysis reveals strong bullish trend and breaks key resistance at $25,900. This resistance was earlier strengthened by a descending trendline on the four-hour time frame, but Bitcoin managed to break through it, reaching a high of $26,500. Now, this $26,500 level forms a double-top pattern that acts as significant resistance. It is currently moving slightly above the previous resistance, it has now turned support at $25,900. Primary technical indicators such as Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average of Convergence (MACD) indicate a favorable buying zone. Additionally, the 50-day exponential moving average supports a continued bullish trajectory as long as Bitcoin remains above $25,600. A decline below this level could test the support at $25,400 and the critical $24,950 level. Conversely, a break above the $26,500 resistance can target the $27,000 and $27,500 levels. In short, $26,500 is a pivotal point, with values below indicating bearish behaviour and values above indicating a potential bullish continuation.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The overall crypto market cap remained stable at $1.03 trillion as markets await key US inflation date. If inflation numbers show signs of cooling down, then we may see some relaxation in interest rates which are already at their peak due to continuous hikes by the Fed. We may see a knee-jerk reaction from the market if inflation numbers are higher than expected.”
