What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin and Ethereum rose on Thursday after going through a roller coaster ride in the past few days. BTC managed to trade above $19,300 with the support of buyers. If BTC can close above $19,500 today, we might see an upward trend in the next week. But if it falls below the current level, we might see BTC going back to the $18,000 support. The second largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, has also shown a bullish sentiment in line with BTC. This price action comes as a relief to the market participants after the successful Merge. If ETH can hold above the current level, we might soon see it reaching the $1,500 level.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Indian markets mainly reacted to the US central bank's hawkish tone on interest rates, which created pessimism among investors. The Fed's latest quarterly summary of policymakers' projections shows that US central bankers expect to raise the key interest rate, now in a range of 3-3.25 percent after Wednesday's 75 basis point increase, to 4.4 percent by the end of this year and to 4.6 percent until the end of this year. cryptocurrencies fended off declines triggered by the US Federal Reserve's next big interest rate hike, although sentiment remained cautious given the central bank's warning of economic pain ahead of policy tightening. Bitcoin had some positive price movement in the morning but ended with 1.5 percent negative by end of the day. Second-biggest coin Ether continued to underperform, falling 2 percent as well.”

weTrade founder Prashant Kumar offered his take on the market scenario as well, "After days of movement in the red due to increased interest rates, the crypto market cap saw some positive movement with a 4 percent increase during Asia trading hours on Friday morning. Bitcoin caught up by 3.8 percent but is still trading below $20,000. Meanwhile, Ethereum, which has been on a decline since the Merge, also picked up steam and saw a 5.5 percent spike in 24 hours. The market heads into the weekend on a positive note as the top 10 cryptocurrencies showing some upward movement. XRP is leading the way with a 27 percent jump.”
