What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Alankar Saxena, co-founder and CTO, Mudrex told ABP Live, “Bitcoin rebounded quickly to $98,000 from a low of $94,100 following higher-than-expected inflation data. January’s CPI rose 0.5%, further lowering expectations for a Fed rate cut as Powell reaffirmed a cautious stance in his testimony. Despite high inflation numbers, buying interest emerged in the broader market, signalling a shift in market sentiment as all the major news gets priced in. If Bitcoin holds above $98,000, it could soon test the $100K mark, marking a potential breakout in the current trend.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “BTC has been trading around the 96.5k USD mark for more than two weeks now establishing it is as a a major support area. However, with BTC dominance hovering around 60%, altcoins have not been able to get upto speed as of yet. However, BNB ecosystem has started making the moves now as Binance’s ex CEO CZ has been quite vocal these days about BNB’s upgrades and expansion plans. Not just BNB but major projects on BNB like CAKE, BAKE etc have all been seeing magnificent gains.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Bitcoin institutional demand is increasing as many investors accumulate on the backdrop of reduced selling pressure. Miners have decreased their liquidation, and the rise of stablecoin reserves signals a strong buying power is in the arena. Long-term holders are holding their positions, and that only enhances the bullish sentiment. If this goes on, Bitcoin could cross the psychological mark of $100K and usher in yet another bullish phase for the institutional markets. Meanwhile, Dogecoin builds up a case for breaking past $0.33, with optimism speculating further upside.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin’s price action shows short-term consolidation between $94,500 and $97,000 on the 1-hour chart, with low volume indicating reduced trading activity. Key support lies at $94,091, while resistance is at $98,490. A break above $97,000 could trigger bullish momentum, while a drop below $94,500 may lead to further declines. The 4-hour chart shows a bearish trend, with resistance at $102,754 and support at $91,530. Daily analysis suggests consolidation between $94,000 and $96,000, with support at $89,164. Oscillators show neutral signals, while the MACD and awesome oscillator indicate weak bearish momentum.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The crypto market is showing resilience, recovering from CPI data as President Trump advances Russia-Ukraine diplomacy. Over the last 24 hours, Bitcoin surged by 2.09%, reflecting positive investor sentiment. Altcoins have also demonstrated strength, with Ethereum climbing 5.88% and XRP increasing by 3.67%. This recovery follows stronger-than-expected U.S. inflation data, which initially tempered expectations for interest rate cuts in 2025. However, Trump’s efforts to foster a positive regulatory environment for digital assets and resolve geopolitical tensions are boosting market confidence.”
CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The bulls seem extremely vigilant as they have prevented the Bitcoin price from plunging below the crucial support zone. As a result, the crypto markets have begun to rebound but are yet to trigger a fine recovery and until then, the fear of a bearish reversal may prevail. While the major altcoins received a significant bullish push, Solana failed to reclaim $200 while ADA, UNI, and PEPE & SHIB are fighting hard with the bearish forces. However, the market sentiments are slowly rising, which suggests the cryptos are under bullish influence.”
