Crypto Exchanges’ Viewpoint on the Market
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel said, “Many cryptos have seen a boost in their values due to news of the government protecting the investors of Silicon Valley Bank. As a result, Bitcoin has surpassed the $22,000 mark after dipping last month. Ethereum has also followed a similar trend and is trading above the $1,600 level.” WazirX Vice President Rajagopal Menon commented, “Bitcoin has risen modestly in the last 24 hours with the backing of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. However, tech startups withdrawing their existing reserves could have a negative effect on the crypto market in the coming weeks.” Unocoin CEO and co-founder Sathvik Vishwanath said, “Bitcoin could reach $18,400 or even $21,800 before a possible decline. Ethereum has a key support level of $1,423 and resistance at $1,460.”
