What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “The price of Bitcoin has been dipping after it breached the $20,000 mark. BTC has lost nearly 16 percent of its value in the past week. Despite BTC attempting to recover above $19,000, it could not sustain too long there. In the past 24 hours, BTC traded sideways between its support at $18,540 and the resistance at $20,415. Since the current price is closer to the support price, sellers are more active in the market. If bulls can return to the market and move towards $20,000, we might see an upward trend.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “After a bloodbath during the weekend and Monday, we have seen a 1-3 percent increase in prices for almost all of the top 100 coins and tokens. The highest gaining category was NFT-related tokens, especially the ApeCoin, which saw a gain of 13 percent. Ethereum gained approximately 3 percent in the last 24 hours whereas it had lost close to 20 percent in the last 7 days. During the rest of the week, the after-effects of the Ethereum merger can be expected to lead to higher volatility in the token as this does not seem to be fully settled yet. Along with the recession news making rounds in Eastern European countries, inconsistency in the global crypto market is to be expected.”
weTrade founder Prashant Kumar offered his take on the market scenario as well, “The crypto market cap continued to stay in the red during Asia trading hours on Wednesday as the market awaited news from the US Federal Reserve meeting that could announce another interest rate hike. A similar trend can also be seen in the US stock market as the market reacts to high consumer price index readings and rate hikes. Bitcoin and Ethereum both declined further by approximately 2.5 percent over the last 24 hours. Similar trends could be seen in other key cryptocurrencies.”
