What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live: “Bitcoin held below the $17,000 level over the weekend as prices continued to consolidate despite earlier gains. Over the past five days, the BTC price has faced rejection on both sides, indicating indecision among market participants. If BTC can close above the $16,900 level, it is likely to encourage a resumption of the previous rally.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and Co-Founder of Unocoin, said: “Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, has been indicted on eight criminal counts by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). ). The charges include spoofing, wash trading and tampering. Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has announced the acquisition of Indonesian exchange Tokocrypto, but will reportedly lay off staff as part of the deal. Bitcoin continues to trade around the $16,800 mark, with no major change in trend despite the holiday season.”

Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUCoin, said: “The holiday season keeps the cryptocurrency market stable with crypto heavyweights like Bitcoin and Ether seeing a marginal jump over the weekend. The latest Covid scare is keeping investors away from riskier assets and even traditional markets are facing the heat of the possibility of a Covid-induced slowdown. We can expect markets to remain volatile in the coming weeks due to geopolitical uncertainty, among other macroeconomic factors.”
