What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Much like the majority of last week, the last 24 hours have seen Bitcoin’s price mostly moving sideways, consolidating around the $71,000 mark. Bitcoin trading volume has risen by roughly 19% in the last day, with over $20 billion worth of Bitcoin traded during this time. Bitcoin’s next resistance level is at $71,781, while its next support level is at $70,708. Meanwhile, Ethereum has been experiencing consistent buying pressure, a trend that persisted in the last 24 hours. Overall, the crypto market continues to exhibit extreme greed.”

Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “The crypto markets continued to climb over the weekend, as overall M.Cap. hit its highest point in the last 15 days. BTC (+1.4%) was rangebound with an upward bias, trading between $70k and $71k. For BTC to continue its upward march, it will have to break the crucial resistance of $71.5k, which may open strong possibilities for BTC to cross $75k. Simultaneously, ETH (+2.4%) continued its upward price performance over the weekend. While ETH is experiencing an overall positive price action, its liquid supply seems to be declining. As per Glassnode data, just 11% of ETH’s total supply is currently available for active trading, down from 15.8% same time last year. However, given the investor sentiment and whale accumulation pattern, this has only bolstered ETH’s price by over 50% since the beginning of 2024.”

Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin (BTC) continues consolidating around $70,000, with bulls eyeing a breakout in the upcoming week. However, a significant sell-wall looms at $72,500. Industry analysts suggest BTC could surge well beyond $150,000, reaching $700,000 by the next decade’s end. The recent rally, propelled by ETF approvals, might see further momentum after the halving event. Historical trends indicate Bitcoin’s price typically peaks months post-halving. Ethereum (ETH) maintains robust support above $3,600, signalling bullish sentiment, while SOL trades steadily above $200, indicating promising prospects for future gains.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin’s daily trading volume fell to $16 billion, prompting caution among investors despite a slight rise to $70,098. The rise of spot bitcoin ETFs, which have amassed $30 billion in three months, signals Wall Street’s acceptance of the cryptocurrency. Regulatory hurdles remain, but the trend suggests wider institutional adoption. Economist Peter Schiff warns of a looming financial crisis, citing inflationary pressures as the reason and advocating a reassessment of policy. Renowned author Robert Kiyosaki advises ditching the US dollar for bitcoin, gold and silver amid economic uncertainty and predicts a surge in bitcoin’s value. Bitcoin’s current price at $70,050 with resistance at $71,600 suggests a cautious but optimistic market stance. Holding support above $68,770 is key to maintaining bullish momentum.”

Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Since last week, Bitcoin has been trying to break the $71500 resistance only to fall back to the $70,000 level. An important level to hold for the largest cryptocurrency is the support of $69,000, failure to do so might push it to $65,000. It would be interesting to see how the Bitcoin price action unfolds this halving with just 22 days left roughly for the 4th Bitcoin halving.” 

CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “Over the weekend, the market remained bullish, with ETH leading the charge over BTC. BTC maintains its upward trend with the halving on the horizon, holding above the crucial $69,000 level and the 20 EMA D. A decline in BTC dominance favours altcoins. ETH’s performance has been notable, and it’s poised for further gains. Technically, clearing the $3650 mark is essential for sustained momentum. Key support levels for BTC are around $69,000, $65,550, and $62,000, with resistance at $71,400 and $72,700. For ETH, support levels include $3425, $3300, and $3200, while resistance is at $3,650, $3,870, and $4,070.”
