What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin fell below the $65,000 mark for the first time in over a month following $420 million in liquidated long positions. The next support level is anticipated at $64,500, while resistance stands at $66,100. Meanwhile, Ethereum saw a nearly 3% increase over the last day. Ethereum ETF issuers received SEC feedback on their S-1 forms last week, with a deadline to finalize them by this Friday. Overall, the market has been slowly rebounding from recent declines.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “After a significant decline in most altcoins following Bitcoin’s dip of over 3% to $64,000, support was found as Bitcoin rebounded to $65,500. Although Bitcoin appears slightly bearish on shorter time frames, it is performing well on weekly charts, indicating that the bull market is likely still ongoing. Bitcoin’s dominance also remains steady at around 55%. The reversal was likely triggered by news from Ethereum developer Consensys, announcing that the US Securities and Exchange Commission is ending its investigation into whether ETH is a security and whether sales of ETH constitute security transactions.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin’s immediate support is near the psychological level of $65,000, with a recent low at $64,600 after losing the critical $66,000 support. A break below $64,600 could trigger additional selling pressure, potentially pushing prices lower in the coming days. The decline in Bitcoin’s price is driven by three key factors: increased selling pressure from miners due to reduced revenues and rising ETF outflows.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “BTC fell 0.5% in the last 24 hours to $65,617 in a 2% market decline, having lost 2.5% for the week and 5% for two weeks. Despite recent declines, BTC is up 146% year-to-date driven by demand for ETFs. Indicators such as the RSI rising to 50 reflect support at $64,500 and indicate potential momentum. Whales are buying and expecting a rebound, likely boosted by upcoming Ethereum ETFs and a potential Fed rate cut by winter. BTC could reach $70,000 by the end of the summer and $80,000 by the New Year.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “The crypto market continued to fall yesterday. BTC touched $64,000 for the first time in the last few weeks, with BTC dominance (BTC.D) also seeing a slight decline. BTC’s key support remains at $64,600, which is holding strong. ETH outperformed BTC and is now slightly near $3,600. The ETH/BTC pair jumped from a key support level, which is a positive sign for altcoins.”
