What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is currently range-bound, trading at $67,200 following a round of profit-taking. The key resistance level remains at $68,000, which BTC struggles to surpass. Meanwhile, data from Binance reveals that 53% of traders are shorting Bitcoin, indicating that bearish sentiment is gaining momentum. For the bulls to regain control, Bitcoin must break through the $68,000 resistance. On the downside, BTC has strong support at $66,700, providing a safety net for now.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin experienced a day of significant volatility, oscillating between bullish and bearish sentiments around the critical support level of $67,000. A decisive break below this point could see BTC testing the $65,000-$66,000 range. Conversely, a rebound here might pave the way for a higher low pattern, potentially setting the stage for an anticipated rally this October.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Bitcoin which is currently trading at about $67,078, may be ready for a big breakout because of the emergence of an inverted expanding triangular formation. A fresh bullish momentum can be seen by a break above the top trendline, which will boost market activity and investor confidence. The chances of any prospective rebound is still questionable, because this upward momentum is hampered by low trade volumes. Ethereum which is currently trading at about $2,610, on the other hand, has stuck at the critical 100 day EMA resistance, making its recovery to $3,000 more difficult. Further losses to $2,400 or possibly $2,200 are probable if there is weak support below $2,600. Dogecoin currently trading at above $0.13, Despite a recent pullback from local highs at $0.15, Dogecoin has seen a spike in volume, indicating renewed interest. Today on Wednesday, the total global market capitalization hit $2.32 trillion, marking a 0.68% decrease over the last day.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin (BTCUSD) is currently holding steady around the significant support level of $66,980. Its stability here is crucial for maintaining a bullish outlook. A positive push could drive prices toward initial targets of $68,050 and potentially $70,000. However, if the price drops below $66,980, we may see intraday losses, possibly testing the $65,485 mark before any recovery attempts. Today’s expected trading range is between a support level of $66,000 and resistance at $69,000, reinforcing the bullish sentiment as long as key support holds firm.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin saw a slight dip of 0.56%, settling around $67,000, amid rising U.S. Treasury yields impacting riskier assets. The cryptocurrency market is still thriving, as evidenced by the impressive $2.2 billion inflow into Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs in the last week, which suggests strong institutional interest. This surge reflects growing confidence as investors anticipate potential bullish trends. As we look ahead, the outlook remains positive for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, especially if market conditions stabilize.”
