What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is trading between $80,000 and $84,000 as global trade tensions escalate. While softer CPI data initially drove a rally, the EU’s counter-tariff announcement triggered profit booking, pulling BTC lower over concerns of a prolonged trade war. Investors should closely monitor the US’s reaction to this move as it could bring further volatility into the market. We could see subdued crypto market activity as investors wait for clarity on the trade front. Currently, $80,000 remains as a major support for Bitcoin —if breached, a move towards $75,000 is possible.”

CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin experienced another volatile day, but unlike previous swings, it closed 1.9% higher over the past 24 hours. The price action saw BTC start above $82K, surge to $84K, dip below $81K, and then recover close to $84K. The price action was driven by a 4% rally after February’s Consumer Price Index data came in lower than expected, showing a 0.2% monthly increase and an annual inflation rate of 2.8%. The S&P 500 index gained 0.49%, while the Nasdaq climbed 1.22%, both closing in positive territory. This also reignited speculation about potential Federal Reserve rate cuts, drawing increased demand from macro-sensitive investors.”

Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “The current crypto market environment provides an interesting contrast of retail sentiment and institutional adoption. The U.S. is allegedly hoarding Bitcoin reserves and driving legislative initiatives such as 'The Bitcoin Act' without taxpayer expense, while traders are showing declining interest, resulting in reduced crypto trading volumes. And still, Bitcoin continues to show high volatility with cautioning about possible further crashes.” 

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for February rose less than expected, signaling a slower pace of inflation. In response, Bitcoin surged past $84,000, reflecting increased investor confidence. Before the report, market expectations for Federal Reserve policy suggested an 85% probability of at least one interest rate cut by June. The lower-than-expected inflation data reinforced hopes for monetary easing, boosting risk assets like cryptocurrencies. Traders are closely watching the Fed’s next moves, as softer inflation could strengthen the case for rate cuts, potentially supporting further market rallies in both traditional and digital assets.”

Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has demonstrated resilience, surging by over 2% despite broader market challenges. This uptick comes on the heels of a lower-than-expected U.S. CPI report, which typically supports bullish sentiment. However, ongoing trade tensions have tempered enthusiasm. Meanwhile, other altcoins have also shown strong performance, contributing to a vibrant cryptocurrency market landscape. Despite these geopolitical uncertainties, Bitcoin's fundamentals remain robust, with increased active addresses and a growing number of holders. Investors are cautiously optimistic, anticipating potential gains as global economic conditions stabilize.” 

CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The uncertainties over the crypto markets seem to have eased a bit as the Bitcoin price has rebounded and is trying hard to surpass an important range. The other altcoins continue to consolidate within a narrow range. This suggests the market sentiments are turning back towards Bitcoin and hence one can expect a strong BTC rally.Meanwhile, the memecoins have gained massive strength, with Pepe rising over 15%, WIF 13%, and DOGE over 5%. With this, the market capitalization surged above $2.7 trillion while the trading volume has dropped by nearly 15%.”
