What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has been actively trading at the $67,000 level, showcasing a renewed bullish trend driven by growing investor sentiment. The $65,000 level is witnessing strong support from bulls, pushing prices higher. Resistance is expected at $69,000 and $70,200. The influx of capital from traditional finance into spot Bitcoin ETFs is playing a pivotal role in the ongoing price surge, coupled with positive sentiment ahead of the imminent Bitcoin Halving.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin is currently trading at $67,277 with 1.57% growth and has dominated recent attention, but Ether is poised for substantial growth in 2024. Analysts anticipate Ether (ETH) doubling or more from current prices, possibly reaching $8,000 to $10,000. The Dencun upgrade, set for this month, promises cheaper transactions on Layer 2 networks, driving increased activity. Additionally, excitement surrounds spot Ether ETF applications, with a regulatory decision in May.”
