What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin bounced back to the $21,700 zone over the weekend after forming a bullish divergence. If the price of BTC can close above its current level at $21,700, we could soon see it rally towards the $24,000 level this week. But if it fails to break this region, we might see it retest the $20,700 level. On the other hand, Ethereum is moving towards its immediate resistance at $1,800 as the market participants react positively as the most awaited Merge draws closer. If ETH closes above the $1,800 level, the next key resistance level would be $2,000.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Over the weekend, the market is close to 10 percent. The highest gainer was CEL with a whopping 24 percent in the last 24 hours even though its bankruptcy crisis and issues with investors continue to exist. LUNA gained 207 percent as its community gets confidence about the troubled coin comeback. Whereas coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum gained approximately 2 percent and 3 percent each. With the Ethereum merger expected next week, more cautious trading decisions need to be taken than normal.”
weTrade founder Prashant Kumar offered his take on the market scenario as well, “The week started off on a positive note for investors as the global crypto market cap managed to recover some of its lost ground over the weekend and is at $1.07 trillion on Monday morning. Bitcoin, which was trading below $20,000 last week, also saw upward movement and has reached $22,000 with an 11 percent increase over the last seven days. Ethereum, with the Merge, has also gained 12 percent over the past week and is inching closer to $1,800. The biggest spike, however, was seen by Terra Luna, which has increased by 215 percent in the last week. Such activity could ensure some constructive movement for buyers in the market.”
