What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex, told ABP Live, “Bitcoin has bounced back to $76,000 after retesting the support zone at $74,500 as the trade war escalates, with the US imposing a 104% tariff on China. The crypto market also reacted to the sharp reversal in U.S. equities, which erased 4% of its intraday gains. However, the Dollar Index (DXY) slipped to 103.0, diverging from Treasury yields—a trend that could support BTC’s near-term price action. According to Glassnode, Bitcoin whales (holding 10,000+ BTC) achieved an accumulation score of 1.0, indicating increased buying activity. Bitcoin’s resistance is now back to $79,700, with support remaining above $74,000.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “The U.S. administration announced a 104% tariff on Chinese imports, effective after midnight, intensifying fears of a prolonged trade war. As a result, Bitcoin declined by nearly 6% within last 24 hours, currently trading at ~$76K. Ethereum also followed the broader market trend and declined by over 7% in the last 24 hours, whereas, S&P 500 fell by 1.57% to 4982.77. On the institutional development side, Ripple announced its agreement to acquire prime brokerage firm Hidden Road for $1.25 billion, marking one of the largest mergers in the digital asset industry to date.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin (BTC) is facing heightened volatility on April 9, 2025, currently trading around $75,475 after a sharp 5.7% drop. The recent decline is largely attributed to global economic tensions, especially trade war concerns. Technical indicators show BTC approaching key support at $74,000, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) nearing oversold territory. However, resistance at $77,000 remains firm, and traders are cautious. If BTC fails to hold above $74K, it could drop toward the $70K zone. Market sentiment remains mixed, and a clear trend reversal will only be confirmed once BTC breaks and sustains above $78,000 with strong volume.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Markets experienced significant turbulence over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin fell below the $76,000 mark before recovering slightly. This decline reflects ongoing selling pressure despite accumulation by large investors, signaling mixed sentiment in the crypto market. Resistance levels could limit recovery in the short term. Meanwhile, U.S. stocks reversed early gains and closed lower as the White House implemented a sweeping 104% tariff on Chinese imports, escalating trade tensions. Bitcoin may retest higher resistance levels if positive momentum builds, while broader markets face uncertainty due to geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures.”
CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The US increased the tariff rates to 104% on China, which fueled the uncertainty among the market participants, as expected. The Bitcoin price slumped hard and is about to drop below $75,000 for the second time this week, raising alarms over the entire crypto market. Besides, the altcoins also face sell-offs but continue to hold above the recent lows, while the probability of a rebound remains lower. As a result, the bullish sentiments over the markets have become extremely fearful, hinting towards a potential bear market.”
