What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Over the weekend, most cryptocurrencies saw some increase in value, with Bitcoin reaching above the $17,000 level. This level has acted as a resistance point in recent weeks, and if Bitcoin can maintain its position, it could signal a reversal of the bear market trend. However, if the value of Bitcoin drops below its current level, the next level of support would be $16,900.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Bitcoin has been fluctuating around the $17,000 level and has not yet been able to break through this resistance. If it fails to do so, it may fall to the support zone of $16,775. If it can maintain a buying trend above this level, it may rise further, but if it falls below $16,775, it could potentially drop to $16,450.”

weTrade founder Prashant Kumar offered his take on the market scenario as well, “The second week of 2023 started off on a good note for the cryptocurrency market as the global market cap saw a 3 percent increase. After weeks of staying below, Bitcoin finally managed to cross the $17,000 mark. Meanwhile, Ethereum was trading above $1,300. All other major cryptocurrencies were also in the green with some currencies like Cardano and Solana seeing gains above 20 percent in the last 24 hours. If the trend continues, we could see the crypto market recover some lost ground. This comes ahead of the US Federal Reserve chief’s speech on Tuesday that will provide more clarity on interest rates.”

Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “Bitcoin crossed the $17,000 mark for the first time in 2023 owing to the positive outcome of the US jobs report which reported the lowest unemployment rate, back to pre-pandemic levels. The traditional financial markets (US and European stocks) reacted sharply to the development as the stocks rallied owing to the signs of easing inflation. The positive jobs data suggests that Fed may not go for an aggressive rate hike in its next meeting in February which may prove beneficial for the global crypto market.”
