What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin surged above $42,000 during the weekend, in tandem with the performance of equities. BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETFs crossed the $2 billion AUM mark. A breakthrough above the $42,800 resistance level could propel Bitcoin to $43,500, with $44,700 signalling a return of buyers. If Bitcoin fails to breach the resistance, it has support at $41,750. Investors are eagerly anticipating insights from the upcoming FOMC meeting on the 30th and 31st of this month.”
Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “BTC (+0.2% in the last 24 hours) saw a positive price action right before the weekend as it moved up from trading around $39k to $42k. After months of increasing anticipation of the spot BTC ETFs, the overbought market seems to have undergone a correction in January. Even though BTC’s recent price performance may hint towards a volatile short-term investor sentiment, investors have continued to accumulate BTCs in January, according to CryptoQuant—a crypto analytics platform. Additionally, analysts also predict the entry of Charles Schwab—a leading asset manager—in offering a spot BTC ETFs.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin resiliently surpasses $42k, poised for a potential surge to $45k, driven by institutional investments. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East raise caution due to potential inflationary impacts. Ethereum anticipates a rebound with the Prague upgrade, eyeing $2500, while ETF approval remains a key catalyst. Presently, Bitcoin is at $42,292.62, up 0.43% in 24 hours, and Ethereum trades at $2,269.14, down 0.47% in 24 hours. Bitcoin’s 7-day change is 1.78%, while Ethereum’s is -7.59%. Technical indicators for Bitcoin suggest a “Buy” sentiment, with at -446.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “The price of bitcoin rose to $42,220, boosted by praise for BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, which Rachel Aguirre, BlackRock’s US director, hailed as a “huge success” and reported a trading volume of $3 billion and capital of $1.6 billion. Although Aguirre denied the Ethereum ETF, he praised BlackRock’s foresight. The inflation-adjusted USD weakened 0.1% to 103.41 in the dollar index, signalling a possible Fed rate cut. Bitcoin is currently trading at $42,401 indicating an uptrend with major levels at $43,394 resistance and $40,957 support. Ethereum, trading at $2,289.7, represents bullish momentum above $2,320 and faces resistance at $2,388. Analysts expect further testing of resistance levels, which will provide insight into market dynamics.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “Over the weekend, the overall crypto market has shown positivity. BTC has sustained its position above $42,000 and is now heading towards the $44,400 resistance level. BTC has also successfully reclaimed both the 20EMA Daily and 7EMA Weekly, showcasing a highly bullish last weekly close and implying overall bullishness. ETH, however, closed on a bearish note and is still positioned below the 20EMA Daily. Currently, ETH is in the middle of its range, slightly above $2,275. Key support and resistance levels for ETH are at $2,175 and $2,388, respectively.”
