What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin failed to hold above the $20,000 and broke below the $19,500 support against the US dollar on Tuesday. This is the weakest level BTC has seen since July 13th. The next resistance sits at the $19,400 level. But if BTC does not recover above the $19,000 level, the immediate support could be $18,650 and later $18,500.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “On Tuesday, the global crypto market went down by approximately 3 percent, and around 95 percent of top 100 coins ended in the red zone. The effects of a bearish market could be very clearly seen. The highest fluctuation seen was with USTC as the coin gained approximately 25 percent in a single day and around 65 percent in the last week. This could be the effect of exchanges like Binance and FTX when they change the status quo of deposits/withdrawals. Other coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum lost approximately 4 percent and 1 percent, respectively, in just 24 hours. We need to wait and see if the sentiment towards Ethereum upgrade does any course correction.”
weTrade founder Prashant Kumar offered his take on the market scenario as well, "Bitcoin took a plunge below $19,000 on Wednesday. The largest cryptocurrency saw a decline of 5.5 percent in the last 24 hours. The global market cap also further declined by approximately 5 percent. Meanwhile, Ethereum, which initiated the first phase of the much-awaited Merge on Tuesday also saw a similar decline as it reached close to $1,500. With technology stocks and other global economic factors showcasing similar trends, September continues to be a choppy month for investors across.”
