What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin (BTC) currently trades near $115,600, slipping around 2–3% as traders locked in gains following recent record highs of over $124K. A staggering $3.3 billion in realized profits were booked last Saturday alone, marking the highest single-day cash-in moment since mid-July. Technical indicators confirm a shift toward bearish momentum: weekly stochastic oscillators hint at potential correction after a sustained rally.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “The market turbulence earlier this week rattled sentiment, but the pullback looks more like a reset than a breakdown. Monday’s $500 million in crypto liquidations, spanning across markets, was the shock flex rebalancing that likely triggered sharp moves in both Bitcoin and Ethereum. Yet, Bitcoin is holding near critical levels, even after sweeping liquidity zones and the rebound in open interest signals enduring conviction by serious players. Ethereum is experiencing pain, caught in the broader market unwind, but is showing signs of resilience because of the strong fundamentals.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin is navigating a critical zone at $115,500, where buyers and sellers are finely balanced. The market’s safety net lies at $115,000, with deeper cushions stacked at $114,000 and $112,000, levels that historically attract strong demand. A sharper fallback could even test the $109,000 base, a zone that has anchored prior rebounds. On the upside, $116,500 is the first real gate to unlock momentum, followed by $119,000 and the psychological $121,000 mark. Should enthusiasm intensify, $123,000 becomes the defining battleground. Current positioning suggests Bitcoin is coiling for its next decisive move, with volatility set to reawaken.”
CoinDCX Research Team noted, “Bitcoin continues to face significant upward pressure as the price yet again finds its lows below $114,700 for the second consecutive day. XRP is struggling to sustain at $3, and ADA is at $0.9, while Solana dropped below $180. Ethereum sustains above $4200, but the broader market sentiments remain bearish, hinting towards a probable pullback. Amid growing skepticism, the AB price surges by over 7%, followed by POL by 4.9%, OKB by 4.34% and Mantle by 2.31%. On the other hand, Pump.fun plunged by 9.48%, Injective & Arbitrum by over 6% each, and Pi, Toncoin & Sky by over 5% each.”
Parth Shrivastava, Head of Quant, 9Point Capital Research Team, said, “Bitcoin’s recent -7.5% pullback may look sharp, but it remains comfortably above key bull market supports such as the 128DMA at $107K and the 200DMA at $100K. With the short-term holder realized price near $108K and funding rates turning negative on some exchanges, conditions suggest BTC may be nearing a bottom before resuming its bullish trajectory.”
