What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Alankar Saxena, CTO and co-founder, Mudrex told ABP Live, “Bitcoin has entered buying territory after correcting to a three-month low of $86,000, offering a strong accumulation opportunity. A sharp drop in the US consumer confidence index and pressure from Trump's tariff war contributed to an 8.9% decline in overall market cap this week. Capitalizing on the dip, Bitcoin Whales accumulated 26,430 BTC showing confidence in the market. However, retail investors should remain cautious, as any further selling pressure might push BTC to test the $85,000 level. Currently recovering at $88,700, Bitcoin faces next resistance at $93,000." #Write2Earn #bitcoin
