What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin has bounced back to the $68,000 mark as market participants show optimism about Donald Trump’s potential election win. BTC is now eyeing the $70,000 level, signalling a continued positive sentiment. However, bears are likely to challenge this advance in the $70,000 to $73,000 range. Bitcoin’s strength has also led to a recovery in several altcoins. Additionally, the market may get another boost from the launch of Ethereum ETFs, which are expected to start trading on July 23.”

CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin (BTC) surged to a one-month high, reaching $66,700, amid a global IT outage caused by a software update from CrowdStrike. This rally, which saw Bitcoin rise 4% in 24 hours, coincided with strong trading volumes for BlackRock’s spot bitcoin ETF. Solana also performed well, increasing 8.5% to over $170. Currently, BTC is priced at $68.09k.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin recently surged to $67,567, its highest in a month, thanks to significant ETF inflows, including BlackRock’s $116.2 million addition, and favorable economic conditions such as lower-than-expected US CPI data. Bitcoin is currently trading at $66,762 and its value is supported by stable hash rates and increased miner holdings. With the ETF now holding over 900,000 BTC worth $60 billion, investor confidence is growing. Key levels include the pivot at $66,284 and resistance at $67,580, $68,000 and $68,424. Support is at $66,000, $65,120 and $64,300. RSI at 63.53 and 50 EMA at $63,899 indicate a bullish outlook if Bitcoin remains above $66,250.”

Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The crypto market has witnessed a positive surge, with the global market cap increasing by 0.85% to $2.47 trillion. BTC’s dominance has also risen to 54.27%, up 0.09% over the day, indicating investor confidence in the leading cryptocurrency. Market reactions have been mixed, with Bitcoin and Ethereum holding steady while Dogecoin experienced a rise, possibly influenced by President Joe Biden’s announcement of his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, which has stirred interest among investors.” 

CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “Over the weekend, the crypto market remained positive following President Biden’s announcement that he will not seek re-election. This news is seen as beneficial for the crypto space as it increases the chances of Trump’s return, who is perceived as more crypto-friendly. Technically, Bitcoin is now eyeing a test of the range high at the early $70k level. Despite an open CME gap down at around $58-61k, the immediate focus is on moving towards the range high. The upcoming Bitcoin conference this weekend is expected to bring more volatility to the market. Key support levels to consider are around $63,200 and $60,300. On the upside, resistance levels are at $72,000 and $73,800.”
