What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Alankar Saxena, CTO and co-founder, Mudrex told ABP Live, “Bitcoin and the broader market gained momentum, adding 5.7% to the total market cap in a day. Stronger-than-anticipated job openings data, with 7.74 million open positions, eased the fears of a recession among investors, fueling this upward trend. Additionally, Trump’s decision to pause 50% tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum further supported market optimism. Currently trading near $82,500, Bitcoin is trying to reclaim the $85,000 resistance level, which could further extend the rally. However, a pullback is possible if upcoming macroeconomic data falls short of expectations.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “The market experienced significant turbulence yesterday as Bitcoin (BTC) rebounded from a low of $78K to $83K, marking a nearly 7% recovery. While this upward movement provided some relief from the sharp plunge below the critical $80K support level, the broader market sentiment remains cautious, with many investors awaiting further confirmation of a sustained recovery. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) continued to struggle, unable to break past the psychologically important $2K level.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Bitcoin is facing turbulence, with RSI charts indicating potential reversal. In contrast, Ethereum is at significant MVRV levels, where a drop below $2,060 would take it to $1,440. In contrast, Fidelity’s move at ETH ETF staking clearance sparks hope, which could take ETH to $2,200. Dogecoin plunges following a sudden 66% correction, making its volatility the center of town talk. With major macroeconomic events looming, Bitcoin’s action is uncertain, driving the broader crypto market.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin’s recent dip to $76,000 before bouncing back above $80,000 has left many wondering if this is just a temporary setback or the start of a deeper correction. The U.S. government’s Bitcoin reserve, initially seen as a bullish signal, turned out to be more about seized assets than active buying, cooling excitement. Meanwhile, record ETF outflows and broader economic concerns are adding pressure. But seasoned investors know cycles like this are normal. Crypto influencer Jacob Crypto Bury sees the current market lull as a quiet before the storm—potentially paving the way for Bitcoin’s next big move.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The U.S. ETF market has seen significant activity, sparking investors’ optimism. XRP rallied by 5% as speculation about SEC approval and broader ETF developments continues to build momentum. This surge reflects growing interest in cryptocurrency ETFs, following the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum funds. Investors anticipate strong growth in the ETF sector, driven by innovation and increased investor confidence. The potential for XRP ETF approval could further boost the cryptocurrency’s adoption and price, positioning it for a promising future in the financial markets.”
CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The markets remain under bearish influence, but the previous day’s push has delayed the possibility of an extended pullback. Bitcoin surges above $83,000, but the lack of bullish strength dragged the levels close to $82,300. Meanwhile, Ethereum, Solana, Litecoin, and Cardano continue to withstand upward pressure while XRP displays strength along with Kaspa, Celestia, Bittensor, and Pepe. Despite this, the global crypto market capitalization remained stuck around $2.63 trillion with a notable rise in volume of over 30%.”
