What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex, told ABP Live, “Bitcoin has confirmed a breakout, following softer-than-expected inflation data coming in at 3%. At the same time, successful trade talks between the US and China boosted the market sentiment, fueling the relief rally. Attention now shifts to the Fed’s upcoming decision, where a 25-bps rate cut is largely expected. However, any signal toward ending Quantitative Tightening could further fuel the rally. Currently trading near $115,400, a sustained move above $116,000 could push BTC to new highs, with strong support forming around $109,600.”

CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “The crypto market lifted, with Bitcoin climbing around $115K (3.1%) and Ethereum gaining to around $4,208 (7.14%) in the last 24 hours, as signs of progress in US–China trade talks eased geopolitical risk. The total crypto market cap rose by roughly 5.5% in last 1 week, reflecting a rebound in risk appetite. On the charts, Bitcoin is navigating resistance near the $115.5-116 K zone while finding support around $109 K–$110 K, suggesting consolidation ahead of the upcoming Federal Reserve policy decision. Traders may keep exposure modest, manage risk carefully, and watch for breakout cues tied to macro events.”

Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “The break above US$113,000 in Bitcoin, driven by optimism around a potential trade deal between the U.S. and China, highlights how macroeconomic and geopolitical developments continue to influence crypto markets. We see this as a clear sign that Bitcoin’s movements are now shaped not only by on-chain activity but also by global risk sentiment and regulatory expectations.” 

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin is gaining bullish traction as traders eye the $120,000 mark ahead of this week’s U.S. CPI data, a key inflation indicator that could impact market sentiment. BTC found support at $106,453, rebounding above the 50-day EMA at $113,397 and now trades near $114,975. A close above the $115,137 Fibonacci resistance could drive a breakout toward $120,000. The RSI at 54 and a bullish MACD crossover confirm rising momentum. However, a CPI-driven market reaction could test BTC’s resilience; rejection may pull it back to $113,397 support. Overall, bullish sentiment remains strong as investors await CPI clarity.”

CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The past weekend turned out to be pretty bullish for the crypto markets as the majority of the tokens surged above their respective resistance. Ethereum reclaimed $4200, Litecoin $100, Solana $200, and Dogecoin $0.2, and Bitcoin reached $115,000, with XRP $2.67 and Cardano $0.69, but retraced marginally. The top gainers for the day include Virtuals Protocol, Zcash, and Dash, with 30%, 29%, and 21.5% surges, respectively. Besides, Memecore plunges by over 6%, followed by Humanity Protocol by 2.11%. The overall market sentiments have risen to neutral from fear, signalling the rising confidence among the traders.”

Parth Srivastava, Head of Quant, 9Point Capital’s Research Team, said, “Bitcoin is holding its ground near $110,000, a level that’s less about price and more about conviction. The market breathes in consolidation, exhaling anticipation. Investment-grade hands aren’t trading noise; they’re accumulating narrative. A clean break above this range could mark not just momentum but the next chapter in institutional belief.”
