What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex, told ABP Live, “The crypto market extended its bullish momentum as cooler-than-expected US CPI data boosted rate-cut expectations to 94%. Bitcoin briefly tested the $120,250 mark before consolidating near $119,500, while Ethereum outperformed, surging above $4,600 for the first time since 2021. Strong ETF inflows added to the rally, with ETH ETFs recording the largest daily inflow of over $1 billion. For BTC, a decisive daily close above $120,000 could trigger its next leg of the rally, adding strength to the bullish structure.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin rebounded from early lows to test resistance above $120K but facing repeated rejections. After choppy consolidation, selling pressure pulled it back near $119,200, with a mild late recovery keeping momentum neutral to slightly bearish. ETH is trading near $4,620, its highest level since reaching the all-time high of $4,800 in November 2021. The ETH ETF recorded inflows of just over $1 billion on August 11, followed by an additional $205 million yesterday.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Bitcoin’s pullback to $119,000 comes after a strong rally and some profit-taking, yet underlying sentiment remains resilient. Record-breaking inflows into Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs highlight deepening institutional adoption, even as traders prepare for heightened volatility with critical inflation data looming, a macro event that could act as the next major catalyst or hurdle for the market. Ethereum’s approach toward the $5,000 mark, supported by whale accumulation and regulatory clarity, reinforces the bullish undertone.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The cryptocurrency market dipped slightly after the latest CPI data showed rising inflation, as tariff woes pushed prices up. The cryptocurrency market is under pressure due to macroeconomic events, with BTC slipping below the $120,000 mark. The second-largest digital asset, Ethereum, is above $4600 mark, just shy of its all-time high in November 2021. US Ethereum ETFs recording massive inflows, coupled with corporate ownership, may push ETH to create a new all-time high.”
CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The crypto market volatility has settled to some extent, as $120,000, which has been a strong resistance, continues to restrict the Bitcoin price rally. Meanwhile, the liquidity flow into altcoins has been prominent, as ETH, XRP, and ADA have sustained above their respective resistance levels. However, Solana gains the center stage as it hits $200, while Litecoin barges above $133. Fartcoin leads the top gainers with a massive 25% rise, followed by Raydium and Aerodrome Finance with over 14% each, and Solana & Chainlink with over 12%. Besides, Story, Monero & Sky drop by 6%, 5.3%, & 3.2%, respectively.”
Parth Shrivastava, Head of Quant, 9Point Capital Research Team, said, “Bitcoin’s structure remains bullish as sustained ETF inflows, led by BlackRock’s IBIT, continue absorbing supply at a rapid pace. With consistent 2,000–3,000 BTC daily accumulation and occasional large spikes, dips are being quickly bought. Momentum and on-chain trends suggest further upside potential as long- term holders remain steady and institutional demand stays robust.”
