What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “After hitting $64,000, Bitcoin is currently steadying at $60,000, driven by an increase in liquidations. Nonetheless, the cryptocurrency has achieved historic highs in local currencies across various nations, including India, China, Japan, the UK, Argentina, Turkey, Egypt, and more showing resiliance. Bitcoin encounters resistance at $62,100 and maintains support at $60,300. With rising inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs and the imminent halving event, the bullish trend is likely to persist.”
Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “While BTC (+0.2%) is yet to reach its all-time high in USD terms, it has breached record highs in local currencies across multiple regions across the globe, including India, China, Japan, and the U.K. With the halving event less than 50 days away, BTC witnessed the highest monthly jump of 44% in February, the highest since December 2020. Looking at the investor activity and on-chain transaction data, the current uptrend seems to be just the start of what is coming.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Renowned trader Peter Brandt has raised eyebrows with his latest Bitcoin prediction, predicting a bullish trajectory that could see the cryptocurrency climb as high as $200,000 by 2025. Brandt’s analysis, shared on Twitter, underscores bitcoin’s recent breakout above a 15-month trading channel and signals the potential for significant upside in the coming years. However, Brandt warns that a close below the previous week’s low could invalidate this bullish outlook, highlighting the inherent volatility of crypto markets. Bitcoin is currently trading at $60,750 during the US session, facing resistance levels of $63,927, $66,524 and $69,093, with support levels at $58,982, $56,103 and $53,372 offering potential backup positions.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “After a day of rallying more than 10%, Bitcoin has now pulled back towards the 60,000 level and seems to be holding it as temporary support. At the same time, the ETF hype continues, as Spot Bitcoin ETFs had their second-biggest day ever in trading volume. According to Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan, the demand for spot bitcoin ETFs will continue as larger U.S. wirehouses have yet to offer these funds to their clients, and the current demand has considerably come from retail investors, hedge funds, and independent financial advisors.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “In the past 24 hours, the crypto market remained neutral, with both BTC and ETH experiencing slight drops of 1-2%. From a technical standpoint, BTC is exhibiting sideways movement in smaller timeframes, currently below the 7-day EMA but above the 20-day EMA. Key resistance levels for BTC are observed at $65,500 and $69,000. ETH closed with a notably bearish tone in the last daily session, facing rejection from the critical $3,500 resistance level, compounded by bearish behaviour in the ETH/BTC pair. On the positive side, Merrill and Wells Fargo have announced plans to offer Bitcoin ETFs to their customers.”
