What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin witnessed selling pressure over the past week as prices dropped below the $67,000 mark, but then easing up over the past 24 hours as price movement flattened. Bitcoin’s closest support level lies at $64,825, while the next resistance point awaits at $66,978. Meanwhile, Ethereum too has witnessed marginal selling pressure in the past week as the market gears up for Ethereum ETFs to go live in early July. The overall sentiment in the market continues to point to greed.”

Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin remains below its 50-day moving average, a technical indicator that could suggest a potential short-term price decline. However, a healthy buffer above the key 200-day moving average hints at a possible long-term bullish trend. If bulls can push Bitcoin above the 50-day hurdle at $66,425, it could trigger a rally towards the crucial resistance level of $69,000. Breaking decisively above that level could even put the coveted all-time high of $73,808 back on the table.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “The Biden administration is set to discuss bitcoin policy in early July, signalling a potential shift in US crypto strategy. The round table is organized by the pro-crypto-democratic Rep. Silicon Valley’s Ro Khanna and will be attended by billionaire Mark Cuban and other lawmakers. The meeting aims to maintain US leadership in bitcoin and blockchain innovation amid regulatory debates. Cuban believes Biden’s crypto stance could influence the 2024 election. Meanwhile, Trump has pledged to end Biden’s “war on crypto” and support bitcoin mining, promising a more favourable regulatory environment if elected. Bitcoin is trading around $66,400 with a bearish outlook.”
