What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is consolidating around the $63,000 level, amidst a continued slump in US equity prices and ongoing speculation about the presidential election race. If BTC fails to climb above the $64,650 resistance zone, it could move downward toward the $62,500 level. Additionally, the recent hack of WazirX has added pressure on Indian investors. Market participants should monitor the market closely and stay updated with news for any developments.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “In the US, major financial firms including BlackRock, Fidelity, 21Shares, Grayscale, Bitwise, and Invesco Galaxy have submitted their final S-1 filings to the SEC for the approval of spot ether ETFs. The regulator is anticipated to greenlight these applications next week, with the funds expected to launch on Tuesday. This approval could mark a pivotal moment for the US crypto market.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin (BTC) recently climbed above $65,000 to hit an intraday high of $65,360, driven by bullish predictions from veteran trader Peter Brandt. Brandt suggests that if BTC stays above $56,000, it could reach $150,000 by the end of 2025. Additionally, inflows into U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs, notably BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, boosted the price. Currently, BTC is trading at around $64,760 and showing a slight increase. Key levels include resistance at $65,000 and support at $64,500. With a market cap of $1.28 trillion and a circulating supply of 19.73 million BTC, technical indicators suggest a cautiously optimistic outlook.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “BTC and ETH are moving sideways, while many altcoins saw a decline yesterday. BTC took support at $63,300 and bounced back; it needs to clear the $66,800 resistance for an upside move in the short term. Similarly, ETH bounced from key support at $3,366 and needs to clear the $3,500 resistance to target the $3,650 level. The US unemployment claims data came out higher than expected, which is positive for the crypto market.”
