What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin consolidated at the $41,000 level over the weekend with a battle between bulls and bears for market control. As BTC trades above $40,000, the likelihood of a sideways movement between $41,000 and $42,000 is significant. On the Ethereum front, the current valuation stands at $2,400, but a failure by bulls to reclaim the $2,500 zone could prompt a drop to $2,400 in the upcoming week.”

CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Even as the US stock market index S&P5000 saw its biggest one-day gain last Friday, Bitcoin failed to impress investors as it is still hovering around the $41k mark. However, with every slight lower move of BTC, altcoins have been bleeding as the ETH/BTC pair also failed to hold above the 0.06 bitcoin per Ethereum mark. With hot altcoins like Arbitrum currently trading on trend line support, Monday US hours would be crucial to see which way the market will take this week.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Bitcoin is holding steady above $41,000 and has seen a slight gain of 0.25% followed by 0.75% decline quickly; right now; Bitcoin is trading at $41,300.The speculation comes as X (formerly Twitter) unveils plans for a dedicated Payments account, fueling anticipation of cryptocurrency integration. But the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s shadow looms as Debiex falls victim to a $2.3 million romance scam, highlighting ongoing challenges in the digital asset space. Ethereum is holding steady around $2,400, with traders monitoring signals for a potential rally. Bitcoin and Ethereum are facing pivotal points, with price forecasts indicating cautious optimism while acknowledging neutral market trends. Investors continue to monitor key levels and potential developments in the evolving cryptocurrency landscape.”

CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “The bearish trend persists for BTC, displaying a downtrend movement as it encounters resistance from the 20EMA on the 4-hour chart. It is currently hovering above the $40,500 support level; however, there’s no clear confirmation of a reversal or uptrend. ETH, too, is navigating below the 20EMA D after a considerable duration and is currently slightly below the support level at $2,450. It’s positioned just above the $2,390 support level. The overall outlook for ETH appears bearish, and a potential pullback might be anticipated from the key level at $2,390.”
