What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin has been trading sideways between $19,500 and $20,500 for the past few days. BTC struggles to hold its current levels because of high selling orders over the past week. If buyers can make a move above the $20,000 level, we might see BTC bouncing back soon. On the other hand, the Ethereum Merge is now less than two weeks away, and the price of the coin continues to hold at $1,600. As the activities ramp up, the interest might likely create more demand in the coming days.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Monday presented an extremely stable crypto market. Every coin out of the top 100 coins except EOS had gained or lost no more than 1 percent in the entire day. On the other hand, EOS price increased by 4 percent, which can be wholly dedicated to volatility as there was no significant news around this coin. The Crypto community continues to be cautious about the Ethereum blockchain merge.”

weTrade founder Prashant Kumar offered his take on the market scenario as well, "The much-anticipated Ethereum Merge is set to take place today, putting all eyes on the cryptocurrency. Ahead of the Merge, Ethereum crossed the $1,600 reserve price and has seen a spike of approximately 4 percent in the last 24 hours and approximately 7 percent in the last week. The Merge will increase scalability and make the blockchain more energy efficient, putting Ethereum in a key position. Meanwhile, the global crypto market cap continued to remain under $1 trillion and Bitcoin also stayed below the $20,000 threshold.”
