What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live: โOver the past 24 hours, Bitcoin rallied to the $30,000 mark, rebounding from previous losses. Investors appear to have regained some of their enthusiasm for valuable assets, despite diminishing concerns about the banking sector. To move further in the near term, BTC needs to clear its next hurdle at the $30,500 level, while the support level lies at $29,800. Meanwhile, Ethereum has continued to strengthen its gains against Bitcoin following the Shanghai update. . Whether ETH will continue to outperform Bitcoin in the days to come remains to be seen."
WazirX Vice President Rajagopal Menon said: โBTC regained its level of over $30,000, up 2.63 percent. ETH is up 0.71 percent in the last 24 hours. Amid impressive GDP growth in the first quarter of the year, Chinese banks are exploring crypto partnerships amid rising consumer interest. This may be central to the Asia Web3 development narrative as more countries on the continent open their doors to crypto businesses. Experts indicate that continued liquidity in the market will be important for BTC and ETH to sustain their latest run."
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said: โBitcoin held in a tight range of $30,200 to $30,500 but surged to $30,500 during the US trading session, turning its previous support of $30,200 into a resistance level. A continued downtrend could see BTC drop to $29,189 if it breaks below the $29,700 level."
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said: โAfter witnessing a minor downtrend, BTC has rallied above the critical $30,000 mark as positive sentiment around Defi continues to grow. ETH once again touched the $2,100 mark but faced some resistance and pulled back to the $2,095 level. The current rally in the crypto market is driven by macro factors and its momentum depends on favorable factors surrounding financial markets."
