What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Alankar Saxena, CTO and co-founder, Mudrex, told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is trading at $94,900 as it attempts to hold its position above the $95,000 zone. Positive institutional developments continue to boost sentiment, with Strategy adding $1.4 billion worth BTC to its holdings and Standard Chartered projecting a rally towards $120,000 in the near term. However, investors are now looking for a catalyst to fuel a decisive move toward the $100,000 mark. Upcoming macroeconomic data including PCE, ISM, and jobs reports could provide the needed momentum if they meet market expectations. Meanwhile, Ethereum is showing strong signs of a breakout, with whale inflows surging by 2,682%, signaling a potential move towards the $2,000 level.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “On April 28, 2025, the cryptocurrency market displayed resilience amid global economic uncertainties. Bitcoin (BTC) maintained its position above $94.5K, bolstered by Standard Chartered's projection of a potential rise to $120,000 in the second quarter, driven by a strategic shift of investors away from U.S. assets. Monero (XMR) saw a significant 40% price spike following reports of a $330 million BTC hack, where the stolen funds were allegedly laundered through XMR.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Bitcoin and top altcoins such as Ethereum, XRP, and Dogecoin are exhibiting fresh strength as new money pours into the digital assets market. CoinShares saw a record one-week $3.4 billion inflow into digital asset investment products, an all-time high. Trader supply of Bitcoin has jumped, reflecting increased demand. Ethereum is targeting a close above $1,950 to keep the bullish setup, while Dogecoin keeps accelerating with an expected price of about $1.6. The overall crypto upsurge is reflecting optimism that has been experienced in the traditional markets.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin is trading near $94,700, fueled by bullish momentum and major institutional inflows. The recent surge comes after Strategy added over 15,000 BTC to its holdings, signaling strong long-term conviction. With an 8% weekly gain, market sentiment is leaning optimistic, pushing BTC closer to the psychological $100K mark. Support lies at $85K, making it a critical zone for buyers to defend. Despite low volatility, on-chain metrics reflect steady accumulation by whales. If momentum holds, Bitcoin could challenge all-time highs. However, any macroeconomic shocks could quickly trigger a retracement. The market stands at a pivotal juncture, watching the next breakout closely.”
CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The bears are trying hard to restrict the Bitcoin price rally below $95,000, as the token is not able to surpass the newly formed resistance at $94,800. Meanwhile, the other altcoins within the top 10 have manifested strength as Ethereum sustains above $1800, while XRP rises above $2.28. But Solana, BinanceCoin, Dogecoin, and Cardano remain stuck below their respective resistances at $150, $610, $0.18, and $0.72. The trading volume has increased along with Bitcoin dominance, and the ETFs made seven consecutive inflows, suggesting a huge breakout is underway.”
