What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Over the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has seen mostly sideways price movement, consolidating around $70,400. Despite this, Bitcoin’s trading volume has decreased by about 20%. The next resistance level for Bitcoin is at $71,855, while the next support level is at $69,231. Ethereum has also exhibited sideways price action, currently trading around $3,550. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum are expected to face increased volatility due to approximately $15 billion worth of options expiring. Overall, the market remains extremely greedy.”
Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “Being one of the most important developments in the last 24 hours, FTX founder and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has been sentenced to 25 years in prison. On the market front, the top 10 crypto assets by M.Cap. have traded in the green in the last 24 hours, with DOGE (+9.4%) leading the gains. Technical analysis shows that DOGE’s performance could be attributed to a prolonged reversal, with a flattened-out bottom. We can expect a strong support around $0.15 with resistance at $0.21. Simultaneously, there have been new predictions around BTC’s price. According to Bitfinex, BTC (+2.3%) could reach $120k by the end of 2024. According to another prediction from Acheron Trading, BTC could attain gains as high as 150% during the current bull run. On the other hand, Ethereum has reached a pivotal achievement by surpassing one million active validators on the network. The second largest crypto by M.Cap. underwent a transition to proof-of-stake in September 2022. ”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin jumped to $70,750, up 1.75% in 24 hours, as the total cryptocurrency market cap approaches $2 trillion. Institutional interest is evident, BlackRock’s BIT Bitcoin ETF amassed 250,000 BTC worth $17.7 billion in just 11 weeks. The Fidelity FBTC ETF also surpassed $10 billion in assets. Robert Kiyosaki predicts Bitcoin’s peak of $100,000 by September, which he attributes to the upcoming event by half. He is a proponent of acquiring bitcoins and tangible assets such as silver and gold. Immediate resistance levels for BTC/USD are at $71,677, $73,543 and $75,116, with support at $66,802, $64,875 and $63,078. RSI at 60 and 50 day EMA at $68,090 indicate strong buying interest and bullish trend.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “In the crypto market, both BTC and ETH maintained their momentum as positive inflows into BTC ETFs resumed. Technically, BTC is still consolidating sideways in lower timeframes, providing opportunities for strong tokens to surge. BTC remains above the key level of $69,000, signalling positivity. ETH regained momentum and reclaimed the 20EMA D, yet it still lags behind BTC. For a significant move, ETH needs to surpass $3,650. The ETH/BTC pair is hovering near a major support level, suggesting a potential boost for ETH and alts if it rises from here.”
