What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Following the release of January’s US CPI data, which indicated a higher-than-anticipated 3.1% annual inflation rate, Bitcoin is currently consolidating. Despite a dip to $48,000, it has bounced back to $49,500, showcasing a bullish trend. If Bitcoin maintains levels above $49,000 this week, the potential for growth to $50,000 and beyond is likely; otherwise, a correction within the $46,000-$48,000 range might occur.”

CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “After crossing $50k early yesterday for a brief period of time, BTC corrected for about 2.5% due to the US CPI data for January where CPI print came higher than expected. The January report showed 3.1% year-on-year inflation as compared to the expectation of 2.9% which directly had an impact on the chances of rate cuts in May. Market participants now see a 34% chance of a rate cut as compared to 51% before this data became public. Since $50k is a major psychological resistance, it would be interesting to see whether BTC corrects further down. On the other hand, as crypto fear and greed hit its highest levels since Nov 2021, we are seeing the crypto market rally. In altcoin news, SOL(-1.89%) briefly overtook BNB as the 4th largest crypto by market cap, with its market being in touching distance of $50 billion. If BTC continues the rally or even starts consolidating near the current price levels, we could see great gains in fundamentally solid altcoins.”

Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “On Wednesday, Bitcoin (BTC) dipped below $50,000 in response to a US inflation report that exceeded expectations, affecting projections for interest-rate cuts. The leading cryptocurrency faced a 2% downturn, sliding from an initial $50,000 to $48,700, rebounding to $49,600 afterward. In contrast, SOL exhibited increased resilience, achieving a gain of over 1%. Analysts urged vigilance concerning market optimism, highlighting that the inflation data hindered Bitcoin’s rally shortly after surpassing the $50,000 threshold on Monday.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin fell below $49,000 after the release of stronger-than-expected US CPI data, dampening expectations of a rate cut. With US government bond yields and the rising dollar index, Bitcoin has faced selling pressure along with stocks and gold. However, the withdrawal may be short-lived. Spot inflows into Bitcoin ETFs remain strong, suggesting sustainable demand despite macroeconomic uncertainties. Additionally, with the upcoming supply halving and the continued influx of spot ETFs, bullish sentiment remains. Options data indicated rising investor optimism, while potential safe-haven demand amid concerns over US regional banks could further support bitcoin. Thus, declines are seen as buying opportunities, with a retest of the all-time highs at $69,000 likely in the near future.”

Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The Crypto market experienced a slight correction as Bitcoin made a pull back to $49,000 level. The next few days could see a decrease in Bitcoin Dominance and the start of a bullish trend for Ethereum and Altcoins. At the same time the Bitcoin ETF inflows have continued to increase making the demand for Bitcoin 10x more than the supply coming from miners. We may witness a continuation of the bullish trend until the halving in April this year.”

CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “In the last 24 hours, the release of US CPI data showing 3.1% versus the forecasted 2.9% caused BTC to drop by almost $2000 to the $48,000 level. However, it managed to recover slightly. This drop also impacted altcoins, which fell by more than 5%, with some recovering afterward. Additionally, NASDAQ experienced a decline of more than 1.5%. Technically, BTC saw a daily bearish candle close after eight consecutive days of green candle closes. While this isn’t necessarily a sign of reversal yet, BTC needs to maintain its position above $49,000 and clear the $51,850 level. On the other hand, ETH/BTC bounced back from its support level, suggesting that we may see ETH outperforming BTC for the next few days.”
