What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Over the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has traded above the $17,400 level in anticipation of the release of US inflation data which is scheduled to be published tomorrow. Bitcoin has grown almost 5 percent over the past 7 days. The upward trend since the weekend could be linked to the accumulation of whales in the past two days. If this positive momentum continues, Bitcoin may reach the resistance level of $17,500 by the end of the week.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Bitcoin is trading around $17,200 and Ethereum around $1,350, both currencies have been showing a bullish trend lately. A flat market and contagion risks aren’t deterring crypto traders from finding the next major narrative to generate returns, and a meme coin is at the centre of that in the Solana (SOL) ecosystem. Bonk, a Shiba Inu-themed token that was issued on December 25, has returned 2,220 percent to traders in the past week, with a 150 percent rise in the past 24 hours alone. The token was airdropped to Solana NFT communities and creators, which led to quick hype and trading volumes for the token.”
weTrade founder Prashant Kumar offered his take on the market scenario as well, “After a day of big moves in the green, the cryptocurrency market on Tuesday showed some flat movement. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum held ground and maintained their position above $17,000 and $1,300, respectively. Other currencies including Cardano and Solana also saw big gains over the last week. The market has been reacting positively to the news of easing macroeconomic conditions due to which trading volume is also seeing a jump.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The overall crypto market remains stable with crypto heavyweights like Bitcoin and Ether witnessing a marginal jump in their value. Altcoins also registered a healthy surge led by Solana which is up by 18 percent in the last seven days and is exchanging hands at $16. Investors will be closely watching the developments at Coinbase to take informed investment decisions in the mid- to short-term.”
