    What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

    Alankar Saxena, CTO and co-founder, Mudrex told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is trading around $95,600, bouncing back from a low of $93,380 amid rising trade tensions. Trump’s plans to impose reciprocal tariffs on all major U.S. trading partners spurred caution among investors,  increasing geopolitical uncertainty. Despite this, the market recovered quickly with major coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana going up as much as 5% from their lows showing strong resilience near the support levels. Currently, Bitcoin faces resistance at $96,600, if sustained, BTC could attempt a move towards the $99,000 mark.”

    Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “The crypto market is going through a pivotal phase, influenced by regulatory changes as much as market sentiment. Bitcoin remains volatile, losing ground with continuing losses as investors’ sentiment has been changing, while institutional investor interest continues to be a force to be reckoned with. The SEC’s relaxed approach toward crypto enforcement is lowering uncertainty that could underpin long-term asset growth for XRP. In the meanwhile, Ethereum looks strong in terms of mid- to long-term prospects despite short-term dips, with investors optimistically pointing out favorable structural moves.” 

    Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Ether-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have witnessed a remarkable surge, accumulating $393 million in inflows this month, significantly outperforming Bitcoin ETFs. This shift in investor sentiment highlights growing confidence in Ethereum. The recent influx represents a sevenfold increase compared to January’s inflows, indicating robust interest amid market volatility.”

    Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin remains in consolidation, with traders adopting a buy-the-dip strategy. Strong support lies between $88,000 and $90,000, with a breakdown below triggering a sharp selloff. If prices bounce from this zone, accumulation is likely to continue. A breakout above the 50-day EMA signals an upward move toward $110,000, though surpassing this level to $130,000 won’t be easy. Market sentiment hinges on U.S. crypto regulations and the Federal Reserve’s tight monetary policy. Traders remain cautious, watching for key developments that could drive Bitcoin’s next move. For now, the market is in a wait-and-see mode, awaiting clearer direction.”

    CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The markets are experiencing significant upward pressure as the bearish activity seems to have intensified to a large extent. Bitcoin plunges below the crucial barrier at $96,000, while the traders remain calm and wait for the right buying opportunity. On the other hand, Solana continues to descend as it loses the important support at $170. Besides, the FTT token plunges after a brief upswing following the optimism surrounding FTX repayments. Meanwhile, Litecoin surges above $133 and Maker hits $1200, keeping up the bullish momentum within the markets.”
