What Cryptocurrency Exchanges Are Saying About the Present Market Situation
Bitcoin (BTC) is showing early signs of recovery after a volatile weekend, climbing nearly 3% from recent lows. Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder of Mudrex, told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is on a recovery path, rebounding nearly 3% from weekend lows as broader markets attempt to regain footing following Middle East tensions. Positive signals like Strategy hinting at fresh BTC accumulation and Texas passing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill have helped sustain market sentiment. Notably, on-chain data shows long-term holders stepping in while short-term sellers retreat. Historically, this kind of shift tends to happen near market bottoms, indicating a trend reversal. Currently trading above $101,300, BTC faces immediate resistance at $105,400, with strong support building around $100,000.”
The CoinSwitch Markets Desk highlighted the impact of escalating global tensions, noting, “BTC briefly dropped below the $100,000 mark over the weekend, finding initial support near $98,200. Crude oil prices also opened higher on Monday, reflecting broader concerns. Should the situation with Iran escalate, particularly with fears of a potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, BTC could see further declines. The critical support zone now lies between $94,000 and $98,000, aligning with a long-term bullish trend line.”
Avinash Shekhar, co-founder and CEO of Pi42, emphasized the shift in investor sentiment: “Bitcoin’s dominance nearing 63% indicates that market participants are gravitating toward safer assets. The sharper drop in Ethereum and other altcoins compared to BTC highlights a clear risk-off environment. Investors are prioritizing liquidity and strong fundamentals amid macro uncertainty and tightening liquidity. This phase is a reminder to focus on quality projects with long-term potential rather than short-term speculation.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, attributed the recent downturn to a mix of panic selling and geopolitical stress. “Bitcoin plunged from $111.8K to an intraday low of around $98.5K, wiping out approximately $80 billion in market cap. The selloff, partly driven by U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, triggered liquidations exceeding $750 million in long positions.
BTC broke critical support at $103K, forming a Bearish Break of Structure (BoS) on the 4-hour chart and filling a Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $101K and $99K. The price tapped a key demand zone around $98K. If BTC closes below that level, we may see a drop toward the $92.5K liquidity pool. Conversely, a close above $101K could spark a bounce back to $105.2K–$107.6K.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, linked Bitcoin’s sharp decline to both geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures. “The escalation in the Middle East, particularly Israel’s strikes on Iran, has fueled a broad risk-off mood. Investors exited risk assets like Bitcoin, pushing it down to the $100K level. Coupled with a hawkish stance from the U.S. Federal Reserve, hopes for a rate cut this year are fading. While BTC is managing to hover above $100K, the support remains fragile under increasing selling pressure.”
The CoinDCX Research Team noted that bearish momentum has extended across the broader crypto market. “Weekend trading wiped out significant gains, pulling Bitcoin below the $100K threshold. Leading altcoins like Ethereum, XRP, Cardano, Solana, and Dogecoin also experienced pullbacks, though Binance Coin remained above $600. Despite the downtrend, some tokens bucked the trend: Story surged over 14%, followed by Four with an 8% gain, while Hyperliquid, Fartcoin, and Sonic each rose more than 6%. Meanwhile, Jito, Mantle, and Render faced declines of 5% to 6%.”
