What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin traded at the $58,000 level over the weekend due to uncertainty in the market creating a lack of buying momentum. Additionally, there has also been a selling pressure the last week. Currently, buyers are struggling to push and hold the price above the $60,000 level. BTC is far from the key levels, the volume has dropped which means neither bulls nor bears are ready for a sharp move. In this case, BTC might trade sideways between $58,000 and $61,000 levels for the next few days. On the other hand, Ethereum is moving to test the resistance of $2,669. If a breakout happens, the accumulated energy might be enough for a test of the $2,700 level. The drop in gas fees is driving the price of Ethereum up.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “The crypto market remained calm over the weekend due to low trading activity from institutional investors and traders. This weekend, the market remained stable, with total capitalization approaching $2 trillion. Bitcoin is hovering near $58,000, while TON & NOT coins rose 7.8% & 6.8% respectively and altcoins posted modest gains. The market shows resilience and gradual growth setting a positive outlook for both mainstream and niche digital assets.”
