What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin briefly reached $23,946 over the weekend as the market responded to US consumption data. Although it couldn’t sustain that level, it has risen 2 percent over the past day and is currently trading above the $23,600 level. If the bullish trend continues, it may reach $24,000 and $25,000 soon. The volume is high, indicating a strong presence of buyers in the market. The support level is now at $23,500, with resistance at $23,922 and then $24,000.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “The price of Bitcoin experienced a surge of over 2.5 percent, reaching a value of $23,500. This increase is believed to be driven by both institutional buying and the anticipation of wider adoption. The current technical outlook for Bitcoin is positive, however, the potential for future growth remains uncertain.”
Kunji founder Anurag Dixit offered his take, “The cryptocurrency market, including Bitcoin, is currently experiencing sustained growth after a short-lived slowdown. The market’s performance is affected by a multitude of factors, including favourable conditions. However, the potential interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve is a major concern, as shifts in market expectations surrounding this event can have a significant impact on the crypto market. If the interest rate hike aligns with or marks below market expectations(lesser hike than expected), it could create a more supportive environment for cryptocurrencies. Conversely, if the interest rate hike exceeds market expectations, it could lead to a slight negative impact on the crypto market.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “Bitcoin had an exciting weekend as it touched $23,900 on Sunday. Bitcoin is up by 42 percent this month and is expected to test the $25,000 level very soon. The total crypto market volume is up by $49.72 billion which is a jump of almost 24 percent in the last 24 hours which suggests that bulls are dominating the market currently. If the macroeconomic factors continue to be stable, we can expect the current momentum to continue in the coming weeks.”
