What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Over the last 24 hours, most cryptocurrencies rose after Deutsche Bank’s application for a licence to offer crypto custody services. Notably, Bitcoin has demonstrated strength by surpassing the $28,500 threshold, a level that had not been reached in the past two weeks. On Tuesday, BTC successfully broke through a significant resistance level, indicating a positive trend in the market. The primary driver behind this upward movement seems to be the increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin, as evidenced by recent filings for a spot Bitcoin ETF by BlackRock and Fidelity Investments. Currently, BTC is finding support around $28,450, while resistance levels are established at $29,000 and subsequently $30,000. Overall, the market sentiment is bullish, reflecting a positive outlook.”

Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “BTC, up 6.9 percent from yesterday, pushed its $28,000 resistance level and is currently trading above it; new resistance level at $30,000. BTC’s price movement comes against the backdrop of its dominance crossing 50 percent for the first time in the last two years. BlackRock’s BTC ETF development further underlines BTC’s bull case. It could also be that BTC has not been implicated in regulatory complexities which are currently being faced by altcoins.”

Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, offered his take, “Bitcoin’s market oscillators and moving averages indicate a ‘Buy’ sentiment. The bullish sentiment that was initiated by Blackrock’s ETF filing has snowballed as more institutions have joined in to support Crypto trading. Despite market FUD for the most part of last week, Bitcoin’s current movement defies previous predictions and gives hope for a $30k mark amidst its correction phase.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin (BTC) showed strength by breaking the descending trendline at $26,400, reinforcing its bullish outlook. The buy zone is supported by positive signals from the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence (MACD) indicators. On the NFT front, Ethereum (ETH) continues to dominate with over 11 percent market revenue growth, while Bitcoin NFTs hold the second position. The latest data from the June 20, 2023 crypto slam reveals a slight increase in NFT sales, totalling just over $146 million.”

Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The crypto market has seen a remarkable surge in trading activity over the past 24 hours, with a total volume of $43.95 billion, representing an impressive 59.14 percent increase. Bitcoin has crossed the $28,000 mark due to growing interest from institutions.” 

CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “In the past 24 hours, the total volume of the cryptocurrency market reached $27.54 billion, reflecting a significant increase of 33.03 percent compared to the previous period. Additionally, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector contributed $1.67 billion to the overall volume, accounting for approximately 6.06 percent of the total crypto market volume. These figures indicate a growing interest and participation in both the broader cryptocurrency market and the specific DeFi sector.”
