What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin dipped to the $65,000 level with increasing profit booking and liquidations. At the moment, one should pay attention to the $64,700 level. If the price breaks below it, there is a chance of Bitcoin moving downwards towards the $62,000 and $64,0000 area. On the other hand, Ethereum also fell to $3,400 level. The next support lies at the $3,300 level.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin is trading in a volatile range between $64.5k to $69k. However, markets still seem to hold a bullish structure as long as the horizontal support at the $64.5k is not breached. A lot of selling pressure has been seen in the market ever since BTC hit its all-time high at $73.8k last week. Corrections like this however are always good for the market as it gives the markets more space to sustainably bounce back and go higher.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin’s price experienced a continued decline amidst broader market optimism. Analysts view this as a healthy consolidation phase, with retail investors closely following token movements. Meanwhile, Ethereum’s recent upgrade successfully reduced gas fees but failed to positively impact its price. Expectations suggest that Bitcoin’s price may further decrease, aligning with its pre-halving retracement, entering what’s commonly referred to as ‘the danger zone’. However, the impending halving event is anticipated to alter the trajectory.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Long-term holders of Bitcoin are starting to sell their holdings, signalling the start of a bull market, according to Anthony Pompliano, investor and entrepreneur. As the price of Bitcoin rises, some holders decide to withdraw profits. Pompliano notes a shift in the movement of dormant bitcoins, with a small percentage sold due to a 60% year-over-year and 140% 12-month price increase. This trend, observed in previous bull markets, signals the onset of the current one. Despite the recent drop in price to $65,000 from a peak of $73,000, many holders are waiting for the April halving event. Pompliano suggests that most long-term holders believe that the price of Bitcoin has not yet peaked. Analysts predict an upward trajectory, with Standard Chartered raising its year-end target to $150,000 and CoinShares reporting an influx of ETFs.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Bitcoin and Ethereum prices continue to fall as the total cryptocurrency market cap falls by -4.15% which is $2.59 Trillion and Bitcoin market cap is at $1.29 Trillion. The fall in Bitcoin dominance usually coincides with an altcoin rally led by ETH. On Wednesday, the FOMC meeting is expected to see no change in rate hikes. But the volatility is still expected from Jerome Powell’s press conference.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “In the last 24 hours, the crypto market experienced a bearish trend, with a nearly 5% drop. Technically, BTC is testing the 20 EMA D support and is forming lower lows in smaller timeframes. A slip below this support could indicate a slight correction. Meanwhile, ETH is hovering near major support levels, just above $3,375, with additional support from the 200 EMA 4H, suggesting strong support. Additionally, the ETH/BTC pair is at a major support level, while BTC dominance is at a resistance level, indicating a potential for ETH and altcoins to start pumping and outperforming BTC in the coming days.”
