What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex, told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is taking a breather following the rally to a new all-time high of $123,000. With this move, the total crypto market cap grew by 16% in just a week, to a fresh record high of $3.88 trillion. Despite the short-term pullback to $118,500, the bullish structure remains intact. According to CryptoQuant, total daily Bitcoin exchange inflows have fallen to 18,000 BTC, the lowest level since April 2015, indicating reduced selling pressure. Additionally, Bitcoin’s support has moved up to $17,100, showing strong resilience, while resistance stands at the previous high of $123,000.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin surged to a new milestone—busting through $123,000—driven by institutional flows, ETF inflows totaling $3.4 billion in July (including $2.2 billion in just two days) but tested 117K as outflows on Monday reached ~$100 million. Rising Bitcoin futures open interest, indicates strong demand from large players. Additionally, BTC price movements appear to be forming an inverse head and shoulders pattern where if BTC bounces back from the neckline support level of $113k, we could see a target of $148K to be played out. Analysts emphasize that this rally reflects more durable, less speculative capital entering the market.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “The week began with Bitcoin surging past $123,000 before pulling back to around $118,000, reflecting both its explosive momentum and ongoing market consolidation. BTC touched a new all-time high near $123,091 before easing to approximately $118,292, as markets responded to Trump’s announcement of a 100% tariff on imports from Russia. Despite the brief dip, institutional interest remains strong, with U.S. crypto funds continuing to accumulate even as European inflows slow. On-chain indicators and futures positioning suggest the broader uptrend remains intact.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin is currently trading near $119,700, maintaining strength after reaching a new all-time high of $123,000. This surge is driven by strong institutional demand, record-breaking ETF inflows, and optimism around U.S. crypto legislation. Market sentiment remains bullish as Bitcoin surpasses Amazon’s market cap, reflecting growing recognition as a digital asset class. Technical charts show consolidation just below key resistance, with support near $119,000. Exchange outflows signal holding behavior, while macroeconomic uncertainties continue to favor Bitcoin as a hedge. Unless rejected at $123K, bulls may push toward $125K soon. However, a breakdown below $119K could trigger a minor corrective pullback.”
Srinivas L, CEO, 9Point Capital, said, “Following the breakout, Bitcoin is expected to consolidate at elevated levels. However, any pullbacks should be seen as buying opportunities. The overall uptrend remains strong, and we continue to recommend staying long and accumulating on dips. Momentum and fundamentals both support a sustained bullish outlook from here.”
