What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most cryptocurrencies fell after the US inflation data disappointed investors on Tuesday as inflation rose more than expected. After a brief relief rally, BTC dipped to the $20,000 level in the past 24 hours. It may take some time for investors and traders to digest the report and get back to the market. On the other hand, the second largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, also fell by 6 percent as the uncertainty around the Merge looms. If buyers can keep ETH above the $1,500 level, we may expect a local bounce back.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Just like the week started, Tuesday was also quite bearish as approximately 85 percent of coins and tokens among the top 100 ended up in the red zone. Notably, Bitcoin lost 6.4 percent in the last 24 hours whereas Ethereum lost 5.6 percent. The reasons for this crash are still unclear but speculations are made that it might be rising due to inflation in the strongest economy of the world, the US, the average loss throughout the market was in the range of 5-9 percent. The highest gainer was LUNC with approximately 7 percent and the highest loss faced by any coin or token was GLM with a loss of about 24 percent and is close to losing its newly acquired position in the top 100 coins and tokens. Ether prices should be constantly monitored due to merge being activated in just two days.”
weTrade founder Prashant Kumar offered his take on the market scenario as well, "Inflation rates once again influenced the global cryptocurrency market that led to a 6 percent decline during US trading hours, taking the global crypto market cap below $1 trillion. We are seeing the market react to the US consumer price index report that was higher than anticipated. Bitcoin, which was at $22,000 during Asia trading hours on Tuesday saw a 9 percent decline and has reached a resistance level of $20,000 on Wednesday morning. Ethereum also saw a 6.5 percent decline taking the cryptocurrency under $1,600. Similar trends could be seen in other coins including Solana, Cardano, and Dogecoin.”
