What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies have surged by as much as 7% in a day, fueled by a series of crypto-friendly developments worldwide. A major boost came from the U.S., where the Trump-backed DeFi project reported 100,000 sign-ups, sparking excitement in the market. Additionally, Vice President Harris’ commitment to supporting a crypto legal framework specifically aimed at empowering Black men has further uplifted investor sentiment. Meanwhile, in the UAE, the in-principle approval of the AED Stablecoin under the Payment Token Service Regulation framework also added to the run-up. Currently trading at $65,700, BTC could break the $67,300 resistance level if the upward momentum continues. Support has shifted higher to $63,200.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin started the week on a strong note, reaching as high as $66,500. The big question now is whether this momentum will hold or fade. Over the past seven months, most of Bitcoin’s upward moves have been stopped short at key resistance levels. Most recently, the $65,000 to $66,000 range has posed a significant challenge, with Bitcoin struggling to close above it daily.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Uptober finally begins, with Bitcoin showing bullish momentum and currently trading at $65,668. US spot BTC ETFs log a net cash inflow of more than $500 million. BTC needs to get above the $68,224 line to confirm a bullish breakout toward a new all-time high. A retrace below $63,000 might show bearish sentiment. Bitcoin has surged above $66,000 on Monday since 27th Sep 2024. Meanwhile, Ethereum rose to $2,623. Today on Tuesday, the total global market capitalization hit $2.29 trillion, marking a 4.87% boost over the last day. As shown by the recent trends in the crypto market, optimism seems to be renewed, because top assets have experienced significant gains. Given that the market did experience a recovery, it has been evident that investors had regained their confidence in the market. Thus, this momentum will pave the road to further growth in the market.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “In the last 24 hours, the crypto market has seen a remarkable upswing, with Bitcoin climbing 2.19% to hit $65,560, its highest since July 30. Despite the Chinese government’s stimulus announcements falling short of expectations, the Shanghai Composite Index rose over 2%. Memecoins have also become very popular; recently, some have increased by over 100%. A strong fourth quarter is anticipated, as the upcoming U.S. election is predicted to increase optimistic sentiment in the cryptocurrency community even more. It is hoped that institutional interest will keep increasing, which could result in more transparent regulations and widespread usage of cryptocurrencies.”
