What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex, told ABP Live, “Global markets are facing a broad sell-off, which has spilled into crypto, pushing Bitcoin below the $80,000 mark and hitting altcoins even harder. Investor sentiment remains weak, with the Fear and Greed Index edging toward ‘Extreme Fear.’ However, a potential bright spot lies ahead as U.S. federal agencies are expected to disclose the US’s crypto holdings later today. A sizable confirmation could trigger a relief rally. For now, Bitcoin needs to reclaim the $80,000 mark or it risks retesting its previous all-time high near $74,000.”

CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin's price fell below $79,000, marking a ~5% decline, as investors remained apprehensive about the economic implications of the newly imposed tariffs. Major crypto mirrored this downward trend, where Ethereum declined nearly 13%, followed by Solana and Ripple declining over 12% in the last 24 hours, reflecting broader market uncertainties. The S&P 500 Index closed at 5,074.08, marking a 5.97% decline from the previous day. This substantial drop was part of a broader market sell-off, with Nasdaq Composite decreasing by 5.8%.”

Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “The sudden plunge of Bitcoin below the $80,000 threshold and overall crypto market selloff that erased more than $160 billion in value a pivotal point fueled by macroeconomic uncertainty and investor wariness. As futures on Wall Street dipped and 'Black Monday' repeat fears emerged, the coupling between traditional markets and crypto holdings becomes more visible. Bitcoin's decline of more than 7% and furious weekend losses show bearish force in the offing, as market players are closely watching cap trajectories for signs of what's ahead. Through such turbulence, some of the altcoins' such as Pi, OKB, GT, and ATOM may find reason to outgain.” 

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “As of April 7, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at approximately $77,320, reflecting a 7.2% decline from the previous close. The intraday high reached $83,501, with a low of $77,127. This downturn aligns with a broader market sell-off triggered by the announcement of new tariffs by President Donald Trump, leading to increased volatility across financial markets. Technical indicators suggest that Bitcoin is approaching a "death cross," where the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average, potentially signaling further bearish momentum. Analysts are closely monitoring support levels around $75,000 and resistance near $80,000 to assess potential future price movements.”

Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Bitcoin has fallen below the $78,000 mark, driven by heightened market volatility following the U.S. equity market's sharpest decline since 2020. This downturn was triggered by President Donald Trump’s announcement of sweeping global tariffs, including a 10% base rate and higher rates for key trading partners like China (34%) and the EU (20%). The cryptocurrency market mirrored this turbulence, with Bitcoin dropping over 7% in the last 24 hours. Despite short-term bearish sentiment, investors remain cautiously optimistic. Investors anticipate that these tariffs could weaken the U.S. dollar and drive long-term demand for Bitcoin as a hedge against macroeconomic instability.” 

CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The crypto market faces adverse effects due to the uncertainty driven by new US trade tariffs, which have also led to a sharp decline in the stock markets. The Bitcoin price dropped below $80,000 and marked lows close to $77,000. Besides, the altcoins like Ethereum, XRP, Cardano, and a few more faced acute bearish action, while Solana sustained strongly above $100, but Litecoin slid down heavily below $70. Most of the cryptos are facing double-digit losses, hinting at the beginning of a bear market.”
