What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is consolidating near $102,000 after reaching a new all-time high, as Trump’s inauguration speech had no mention of Bitcoin. However, Trump showed his commitment towards better crypto regulation with the appointment of crypto-friendly Mark Uyeda as interim SEC chair following the resignation of Gary Gensler, retaining investor confidence. With Trump’s plans for better crypto regulations in action, we can expect announcements on the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve in the coming days. Currently, BTC’s resistance is at $104,600, with support at $100,500.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin retraced 8.5% from its all-time high of $109,356 on January 20, dropping to $100,119 before recovering to $103,500. Meanwhile, El Salvador continued its Bitcoin accumulation, adding 12 BTC to bring its total holdings to 6,044 BTC, now valued at over $617 million. On the Ethereum side, the Ethereum Foundation announced a significant commitment of 50,000 ETH to bolster the DeFi ecosystem, addressing criticism over its perceived lack of support for decentralized finance initiatives.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “”The start of Donald Trump’s second term in 2025 was marked by the volatility of the crypto market. Bitcoin surged to an all-time high of $109,000, which reflected market optimism regarding pro-crypto policies, including a potential U.S. Bitcoin reserve. However, the price quickly dropped to $101,000 as the lack of discussions about cryptocurrency on the first day dampened market expectations. The introduction of memecoins such as TRUMP and MELANIA further diverted liquidity, which added to the turbulence. Still, Bitcoin’s trading volume was exceptional, with one of the highest single-day volumes in months, indicating that interest and activity in the crypto market were sustained.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin topped $109,000 ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration, but retreated after the president failed to mention the cryptocurrency during his inauguration speech or other appearances. Over the weekend, two bearish candlestick patterns appeared on the Bitcoin chart, signaling a possible downside move. Investors should closely monitor the critical support levels of $92,000, $87,000 and $74,000 as they can play a significant role in maintaining price stability. Key resistance zones around $106,000 and $120,000 should also be watched as they could hinder Bitcoin’s upward momentum. These levels are likely to dictate further movements of the cryptocurrency in a highly volatile market.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The cryptocurrency market has witnessed a remarkable surge, particularly surrounding Donald Trump’s newly launched meme coin, $TRUMP, which skyrocketed to over $10 billion in market value on his first day back in office. Trump’s pro-crypto stance and the anticipation of regulatory changes favorable to digital assets. Bitcoin also hit a new record, briefly surpassing $109,000, before stabilizing around $102K. The launch of $TRUMP and Melania Trump’s $MELANIA coin has boosted investor interest, suggesting a bullish outlook for the crypto market. This dynamic landscape suggests potential opportunities for investors and stakeholders under Trump’s administration.”
CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The crypto markets faced extreme volatility, with over $1 billion in liquidations in the past 24 hours. The long liquidations accounted for over $800 million, hinting at a steep shift in market sentiments, driving the Bitcoin price to lows below $100K from a new ATH above $109K. Altcoins like Cardano & Solana experienced a steep decline whereas Ethereum, XRP, and Dogecoin displayed some stability.”
