What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex, told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is holding steady at $114,500 as the markets prepare for the US government shutdown. The dollar weakness in the current economic setup is pushing investors towards assets like crypto, supporting upward momentum. However, investors should remain cautious during the shutdown, as it becomes difficult to read the economy and predict the Fed’s next move, which might lead to short-term uncertainty in the market. For now, Bitcoin must breach the resistance at $114,750 to sustain the buying pressure. If not, we could see a move towards the $112,200 support levels before a relief rally.”

CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “The crypto market pushed higher, buoyed by strong bouncebacks in Bitcoin and Ethereum after recent sell-offs. BTC rallied above $113K, partly driven by short-squeeze liquidations around the $110-111K band. ETH reclaimed $4,100 support amid healthy flows into staking and DeFi. Technically, BTC is carving out a bull-flag setup with resistance near $115,700 and an open CME gap around $110,990 supportive below. If momentum holds, upside toward $120K is feasible; if resistance stalls, expect range trading. Investors should keep size modest, use stops, and watch macro cues and on-chain liquidity flows for confirmation.”

Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “The crypto market enters October with cautious optimism after signs of strength into September month end revived hopes for the seasonal ‘Uptober’ momentum. Bitcoin is steady around $114,000, with traders watching this level as a potential launchpad for renewed upside. If Bitcoin can hold resistance at $115,000, it could open the path toward trading above $120,000 in the near term. Ethereum is holding near $4,149, though selling pressure persists as bears continue to test key supports. Dogecoin, like most altcoins, is also trading lower, reflecting a broader pause in risk appetite.” 

CoinDCX Research Team noted, “October has long carried the nickname “Uptober” in the crypto world, thanks to Bitcoin closing in the green in nine of the last ten years. Investors are once again entering the month with cautious optimism. Kicking things off, Bitcoin crossed the $114,000 mark, setting a positive tone, though altcoins like Ethereum, Binance Coin, and Solana continue to show volatility. A weaker US dollar in the current economic environment is also nudging investors toward alternative assets like crypto, further fueling upward momentum.”

Parth Srivastava, Head of Quant, 9Point Capital’s Research Team, said, “Bitcoin has held firm at key support, suggesting the immediate downside has been absorbed. After this rebound, price action is likely to consolidate as the market digests recent moves and positions reset. Range-bound trading could dominate in the near term before the next decisive breakout sets the tone for direction.”
