What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has been trading around the $64,000 mark, witnessing a surge in long liquidations. Despite attempts, it has struggled to break through the $67,000 barrier in recent days. The bearish sentiment has been fueled by various factors including Israeli airstrikes, a global credit agency’s cautionary note on China, and subdued corporate earnings in the Middle East. However, Bitcoin has managed to hold above the crucial $60,000 threshold, with buyers stepping in to defend the lower levels. Presently, the support for Bitcoin rests at $62,800 while resistance looms at $66,100.”
The CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin continues its downside movement for the second day straight as it went below the $64k mark briefly before retracing above the same. With BTC halving now 5 days old, the market leader has traded below $64k for the first time since the halving. Standard Chartered analysts are however claiming that the price action still remains bullish. They also believe that delays in Ethereum ETF are most likely to happen.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin’s recent decline has breached its critical support level of $65,000, initiating a correction phase. Priced at $64,223, it represents a slight 0.12% decrease over the past day. Rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the reattachment of the S&P 500 to Bitcoin’s price movements add complexity, reflecting broader market sentiment.Concerns persist about a deeper correction with the next support level projected at $61,000, exacerbated by high US interest rates affecting liquidity. However, institutional investors remain bullish, directing funds into BTC via ETFs.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin price nears $70,000 as institutional investment rises, suggesting market recovery. Grayscale’s GBTC holds nearly 300,000 bitcoins while new spot bitcoin ETFs emerge. The Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) process is undergoing a transformation with five new editors designed to accelerate development and strengthen community engagement. Hong Kong launches bitcoin and ether ETFs to compete with the US, using in-kind buybacks for efficiency. Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETF attracts record investment of $40 million, showing institutional confidence despite low public participation. The technical outlook pegs Bitcoin at $66,980 with resistance at $67,687 and support at $63,654, suggesting bullish sentiment above $65,825. However, a breach of this pivot point could trigger a downtrend.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Bitcoin is struggling to maintain its upward momentum amid global tensions and crackdowns on crypto founders by the US DOJ. Yesterday’s sell-off dumped Bitcoin below $64,000. We can expect a further sell-off in the short term now that the crucial support of $65,000 is lost. The second largest crypto, Ethereum has been stuck below its resistance of $34,000 which could change once the ETF approval process speeds up.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “Today, the crypto market faced a downturn due to renewed conflict in the Middle East and worries about China’s economic health, affecting investor confidence. Additionally, slowed ETF inflows contributed to the negative sentiment. Bitcoin reached $67000 before dropping, currently hovering slightly above $64000 and below the 20 and 50 EMA D. ETH struggled to surpass the crucial $3200 level, encountering resistance at the 20 and 50 EMA D. The outlook appears mixed amidst ongoing events.”
