What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Over the weekend, Bitcoin remained consolidated around the $30,000 mark, after peaking at $31,005 on Friday, its highest level since June 2022.

This led to bullish investors securing their profits. Conversely, Ethereum, the second most popular cryptocurrency, attained a fresh 11-month high of $2,141, arousing renewed optimism among investors after the successful Shanghai upgrade.

ETH is now trading at $2,101, representing a 134 percent surge from its low point in June 2022. Overall, the market appears to be bullish.”

WazirX Vice President Rajagopal Menon said, “Ethereum retained its $2,000+ levels while Bitcoin slid slightly below $30,000 levels which it had retained in the last few days.

Potential interest rate hike contributed to the same.

Shiba Inu saw a price increase following the launch of the beta version of its Layer 2 network.

On WazirX, Cartesi and Celer Network tokens have been the top gainers.

Cartesi has introduced a set of new features on its network such as mainnet for Web3 dApps and new initiatives for developer communities across the world.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Bitcoin is trading sideways between $29,800 and $30,500, while an upside move above $30,500 could lead to another resistance area of ​​$30,700 or $31,000.

Ethereum hit a one-year high of $2,123.”

Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “In a rare development, Ethereum outperformed Bitcoin after witnessing a jump of over 13 percent in the last 24 hours and trading at $2,100.57 level.

BTC, on the other hand, is holding strong above the $30,000 mark with a jump of 5.98 percent during the same period.

The crypto market continued its upward trend with most of the crypto assets trading in green.

In 2023, crypto heavyweights like BTC and Ether are up by 80 percent and 75 percent, respectively, delivering unmatched ROI.”
