What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex told ABP Live, “Bitcoin briefly hit a high of $88,500 before reacting to Trump’s reciprocal tariffs, leading to a pullback across the crypto market. Major tokens erased earlier gains but have since rebounded, with BTC, SOL, and BNB recovering up to 3% from their lows. Notably, institutional interest remains strong, as Bitcoin ETFs recorded over $334 million in inflows. This, combined with increased whale activity, indicates that Bitcoin is slowly moving into bullish territory. Currently trading at $83,600, BTC’s next resistance stands at $87,800, while support rises to $81,700.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin (BTC) saw heightened volatility, briefly touching a high of ~$88,000 before retracing to $83,500. The initial surge was likely driven by institutional demand and market optimism following Fidelity’s announcement of a no-fee crypto IRA, which allows direct investments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin. However, the broader cryptocurrency market faced declines with assets like Aave (AAVE) and Chainlink (LINK) declining by nearly 5% and 4%, respectively.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “The whole crypto market is bleeding in red with Bitcoin and prominent altcoins collapsed following Donald Trump’s announcement of sweeping reciprocal tariffs, triggering cross-market uncertainty. Gold reached record highs as investors are more confident about the traditional safe havens. Bitcoin fell below major resistance levels, while Ethereum and Solana facing bearish trends. Over $500 million in crypto longs were closed as volatility skyrocketed. The tariffs, meant to counteract trade imbalances, caused shockwaves in financial markets, influencing both traditional and digital assets.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin has flipped the key $84K–$85K resistance range into support, signaling a bullish trend as it trades above the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day EMAs. However, resistance remains between $87,700 and $88,700, where previous highs formed, possibly stalling upward momentum. Consolidation within this range could be healthy and may set the stage for a $90K retest, last seen on March 7. A drop below $85K could invalidate the bullish outlook, giving short sellers an edge.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Over the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency market experienced significant volatility, influenced by global economic shifts, including President Trump’s tariff announcements. President Donald Trump’s announcement of signing “reciprocal tariffs” has set the stage for a significant shift in global trade dynamics. Starting at midnight, a 25% tariff on all foreign autos, a 34% levy on Chinese imports, and a 20% duty on European Union goods will take effect.”
CoinDCX Research Team noted, “President Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ shakes up global trade with new tariffs, while the BTC price faced huge volatility. Bitcoin was gaining strength & surged above $88,000 but dropped below $84,000 while the other major altcoins maintained some stability. Currently, the markets seem to have risen above the volatility, while the market sentiments continue to remain fearful. Meanwhile, in the wider perspective, the markets remain under bullish influence, suggesting a rise in the buying pressure as the bulls continue to defend crucial support around $81,300.”
