What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Alankar Saxena, CTO and co-founder, Mudrex told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is on an upward momentum, trading near $85,000, while Ethereum shows signs of recovery, briefly surpassing $1,900. The crypto market’s recovery aligns with similar rebounds in the US stock market ahead of Trump’s liberation day. On the technical front, Bitcoin’s RSI has rebounded from oversold levels, suggesting further upside if momentum continues. However, investors should remain cautious, as Trump’s announcements later today could further influence the market direction. If BTC sustains at these levels, a move above $87,000 is possible with key support standing at $80,000.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “BTC posted a 2.2% intraday gain, currently trading above $84,700 and holding above its 20-day moving average, signaling short-term bullish momentum. In a significant development, Tether expanded its Bitcoin holdings to 92,646 BTC, adding 8,888 BTC worth $735 million in Q1 2025, reinforcing its strategic accumulation. Meanwhile, Circle Group has officially filed for an IPO with the SEC, marking a major step toward public listing. In traditional markets, the S&P 500 climbed 0.4% after fluctuating between a 1% decline and a 0.7% gain, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped slightly by less than 0.1%, and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.9%.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Bitcoin and the whole crypto market remain at a crossroads as investors are struggling to make sense of mixed signals. While XRP is indicating the signs of possible bottoming out, Bitcoin’s biggest buyers are holding on instead of selling, which indicates confidence in spite of the looming threat of liquidation. The market is also keeping an eye on geopolitical events, including the US-led tariff war and Trump’s ‘Liberation Day,’ for possible price impact. Prudence is called for in considering the likelihood of exaggerating these influences.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin saw a slight recovery, trading above $84,000 on Tuesday after a 4.29% decline the previous week. According to Crypto Finance, Bitcoin’s dominance increased to 61.4%, signaling a growing preference for BTC as a resilient asset during market uncertainty. However, economic headwinds—including fears of stagflation and former President Trump’s proposed tariffs—pose potential pressure on Bitcoin. These concerns are driving a broader risk-off sentiment, which may affect Bitcoin due to its ongoing correlation with equity markets. Despite these challenges, Bitcoin’s increasing dominance reflects investor confidence in its relative stability compared to altcoins during periods of financial stress.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Trump’s tariff announcement could significantly impact the crypto market momentum. We have witnessed a high level of uncertainty in the global financial markets due to the trade tariff war, as the increased correlation between the traditional market and Bitcoin is clearly visible. BTC is trading below the $85,000 mark as investors are moving towards traditional assets to safeguard their wealth from the impact of the tariff trade war.”
CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The bullish strength is fading after elevating the markets above the bearish claws, resulting in a small rise of bearish activity. The Bitcoin price holds within the crucial support zone, keeping the hopes for a rebound alive. Meanwhile, the other altcoins like Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Litecoin, etc., are also trading around the gains. This suggests the bulls continue to remain vigilant while the bears remain patient, looking out for the right time to enter. Besides, the BTC dominance has surged above 62.6%, suggesting a rebound in BTC price may revive a crypto bull run.”
