What crypto exchanges are saying about the current market scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live: “Ether has seen a recent rise in value, hitting a two-month high before dipping slightly. It is currently trading at around $1,550, about the same as the day before. Other major cryptocurrencies have seen mixed results, with some rising slightly and others seeing a drop in value. FTX crypto exchange’s native token, FTT, has seen a significant 35 percent rise and is currently trading at just over $2. However, it should be noted that seven months ago, FTT was trading at over $35. Meanwhile, SOL is down 5 percent. On the other hand, the native token of the VR Decentraland platform, MANA, has risen by more than 16 percent.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said: “The crypto winter may be coming to an end, as various indicators suggest. Bitcoin broke above its 200-day moving average for the first time since December 2021, which could signal the start of a new bull market. Also, Bitcoin’s latest rally has sent it back above its realized price, meaning the average Bitcoin holder now has an unrealized gain.

Kunji founder Anurag Dixit offered his take: “Many bullish macro developments are occurring behind the obvious price actions. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has shared his vision and appreciation for asset tokenization and financial products. This week we will see some decent movement/volatility around January 18 when the US Producer Price Index (PPI) data is released.”

Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUCoin, said: “The crypto market continues to send strong signals of an early bull run as Bitcoin appears to have received firm support at the $21,000 level and could soon break the $23,000 resistance. The largest crypto is also up more than 18% in the last seven days and exchanged hands at $1,560. Markets are confident that the Fed will end its hawkish stance and tolerate rate hikes that are building strong support for digital assets.”
