What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario


Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin surged beyond the $27,000 threshold, reaching its highest point since August 31. This uptick in Bitcoin's value aligns with the market's anticipation of the US Federal Reserve's impending meeting, scheduled for tomorrow, where the expectation is that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will put a temporary halt to interest rate hikes. Bitcoin has experienced a remarkable 2.50 percent increase this month and an impressive 61 percent gain for the year so far. If this bullish trend persists, it may drive Bitcoin's value even higher, possibly breaching the $28,000 mark. Overall, the market looks bullish as of now with most cryptocurrencies gaining decent values.”


Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager, CoinSwitch Markets Desk, said, “The crypto market has traded sideways with an upward bias in the last 24 hours. As per CoinGecko, the global crypto M.Cap (+0.8 percent) is around $1.11 trillion. It has been another positive day for BTC (+0.6 percent) as it touched $27,400 before pulling back a little. In fact, the last 8 days have been pretty positive for the crypto market with BTC rising around 10 percent from the local top to bottom.”


Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin broke long-term resistance at $26,800, attributed to a ‘double tap’ pattern visible on the four-hour time frame. Moreover, it broke the previous descending trend line, indicating a potential continuation of the bullish trend. A dominant bullish candle on the 4-hour chart indicates strong bullish momentum, with Bitcoin's immediate target set around $27,500. If the momentum continues, it could test levels near $27,900 and potentially even reach $28,800. On the downside, $26,800 now acts as key support. A drop below this level may lead to support at $26,300 and further declines could find psychological support at $26,000. In short, $26,800 is a key level to watch. A stay above it indicates a bullish trend, while a drop below it may signal caution and potential short positions.”


Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The world’s largest digital asset, Bitcoin crossed the $27,000 mark for the first time in September. The rising number of Bitcoin ETF applications has sparked interest from users across the globe and it may act as a catalyst for the overall growth of the crypto market. After Telegram wallet integration TON has witnessed a mega rally of over 45 percent in just seven days. Rising oil prices and uncertain macroeconomic factors may restrict the market momentum in the coming weeks.”
