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 slid lower late Wednesday after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 75 basis points, marking the third consecutive time this year. Even though Bitcoin rebounded to $19,500 earlier in the day, it again fell to the $18,500 level as bears became more powerful with increasing selling pressure. If BTC can hold above the $19,000 level, we may see upward growth. The second largest crypto, Ethereum, was seen changing hands above the $1,200 level. The price of ETH has been dipping since the Merge took place as miners continue to dump their ETH in the market coupled with macroeconomic factors. If the selling pressure from miners increases, ETH is likely to fall below the $1,000 level.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “The slight bullishness seen on Tuesday has stripped away as soon as it came, as by the end of Wednesday close to 40 percent of the top 100 coins and tokens ended in the red zone with an average fall of 1-3 percent, whereas, rest of the coins and tokens gained an average of 2-5 percent in last 24 hours. Ethereum-based token CEL gained approximately 10 percent in the last 24 hours and lost 6.5 percent in the last 7 days. This kind of volatility was expected after the merger and more of such can be expected in the upcoming week as well.”

weTrade founder Prashant Kumar offered his take on the market scenario as well, "Crypto markets were choppy as they reacted to the US Federal Reserve’s decision to hike interest rates by 0.75 percentage points. With the news, the global crypto market fell below expectations to $900 billion. Meanwhile, during Asia trading hours, Bitcoin was trading at $18,500 and Ethereum at $1,250, a decline of 2.4% and 6.2%, respectively, in the last 24 hours. Other cryptocurrencies including Solana, Cardano, and Terra Classic saw a similar fall. The trend also showcases the connection between the global stock markets and crypto markets that are reacting similarly to the interest rate hikes.”
