What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin consolidates at the $40,000 mark after experiencing some liquidations ahead of the US interest rate decision scheduled for today. Despite trading in the red, BTC shows an 8 percent month-to-date increase and an impressive 148 eprcent surge year-to-date. A recent low near $40,600 triggered a consolidation of losses. Key resistance for BTC is at $41,450, while support is found at $39,500.”

CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin continued its price correction in the last 24 hours after the CPI number in the United States but is still trading above the $40k mark with a dominance of 53 percent. If it starts consolidating around the 40k levels, a strong move in altcoins can be expected soon. While popular L1 like Solana has corrected rather sharply this week, one of the standout cryptos in the last 24 hours was Aptos’ native token APT (+8.5 percent). Aptos chain has recently become very active in the developer community with them distributing community grants at Indian Blockchain Week last week. If Aptos, which is one of the fastest chains today, can garner SOL-like community, the market can expect an upside price action.”

Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin (BTC) steadied at around $41,300 amid anticipation of the last US interest rate decision. Ether (ETH) slipped 1 percent to sub-$2,200. Altcoins surged, with Polkadot (DOT), Cosmos (ATOM), and Injective (INJ) leading, gaining 10-20 percent. Despite the crypto majors’ momentum slowdown, the market remains responsive to Federal Reserve decisions. A potential pause in rate hikes, expected due to slowing inflation, could be interpreted as bullish, historically triggering positive crypto market movements.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin is currently experiencing a -2.6 percent decline, trading at $40,930 with potential support levels at $38k, $36k, and eventually $32k. INJ emerges as a prominent gainer on Uniswap with a 14.15 percent surge, fueled by a bullish trend supported by moving averages and MACD. However, an elevated RSI at 79.48 signals potential overbought conditions, urging caution. MUBI showcases impressive growth, marked by a 36 percent surge, supported by healthy moving averages and a moderate RSI at 60.14, suggesting further potential for upward movement. PRIME, amid a 15.78 percent increase, reflects a strong and sustained bullish trend, but a nuanced RSI at 61.64 hints at stability. Traders eye key levels, emphasizing a balanced approach amid the dynamic crypto market landscape.”

Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The crypto market is facing some heat ahead of CPI data and interest rate decision by the US Fed. As the holiday season is approaching, users may have liquidated their positions to book profits from the recent crypto rally.  As per some reports, the US Fed is unlikely to raise interest rates as they are already at a 22-year high. If the US Fed decides to raise the interest rates, we may see further pressure on the crypto market in the coming weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum are comfortably sitting at $40,810.66 and $2,166.03 levels at the time of writing.”

CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “In the past 24 hours, the market experienced a bearish trend as both BTC and ETH traded sideways following a recent decline. BTC is positioned close to the support level at $40,600, and a potential breach of this level could lead to testing lower support levels around $37-38k. On the upside, key resistance is observed at $44k. ETH, on the other hand, is currently hovering around the critical support and resistance flip at $2130. In case of a market recovery, ETH could witness a substantial bounce from this level. Conversely, the bottom support level is at $2020, with resistance at $2,450. Presently, ETH is situated at the 20 EMA D, a level where historical bounces have occurred.”
