What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin fell below the $23,000 level in the past 24 hours ahead of the first US Fed meeting of 2023 on interest rates which is to be held on Wednesday. Bitcoin was seen changing hands at the $22,800 level, down by 3 percent after reaching a high of $24,000 over the weekend. Support for BTC is now $22,700, and resistance is $23,000. Similarly, the second largest crypto, Ethereum, dropped 3 percent and fell below $1,600. Meanwhile, Dogecoin rose 5 percent due to Elon Musk advocating for crypto acceptance on Twitter’s payment system. Volatility may persist in the market ahead of the Fed meeting and the Indian Union Budget release.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin said, “Bitcoin has breached $23,500 and may make new highs. It opened at $23,746 on January 30, fluctuated and is currently down 0.92 percent. Over the past week, it has seen a total increase of 2 percent with a high of $23,784 and a low of $23,110.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The US Fed meeting is keeping the investor on their toes as another rate hike. We can see the impact on the crypto market as Bitcoin is down by over 3 percent in the last 24 hours and Ethereum has slipped by over 4 percent during the same period. India’s Union Budget is another micro-level event that is lined up for tomorrow and any positive announcement around crypto regulations could bring some cheer to India’s booming crypto industry.”
