What Experts Are Saying About the Current Crypto Market
Edul Patel, CEO & Co-founder, Mudrex:
“Bitcoin is maintaining strength above the $109,500 mark, despite some pressure following the U.S. nonfarm payroll data. According to The Block, 98.9% of BTC holders are currently ‘In The Money’—a strong signal of market confidence. Ethereum is also gaining momentum, with whales accumulating over 800,000 ETH. If ETH sustains above $2,500, a move toward $2,700 is highly plausible, driven by growing institutional interest and improving on-chain activity.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk:
“With Bitcoin approaching its all-time high of $112,000, traders are beginning to short near the $110,000 level. A breakout past this resistance could trigger a short squeeze, propelling BTC even higher. Technical indicators show an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern forming, suggesting a possible rally toward the $135,000 level in the coming weeks.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42:
“The crypto market continues to strengthen as bullish sentiment spreads. Bitcoin remains solid above $109,000, and with 80% of holders in profit, confidence is clearly on the rise. Open interest is increasing, signaling renewed enthusiasm without signs of overheating. Ethereum is holding within range, supported by positive macro trends and strong equity market performance. XRP also shows upside potential, with technical models pointing to a possible move toward $3.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO, BuyUcoin:
“Bitcoin is hovering near $109,322 after nearing an intraday high of $110K. Ethereum is holding above $2,500 at around $2,581. Institutional capital continues to flow into spot BTC ETFs, supporting prices. Overall, the market outlook remains bullish, with positive regulatory developments and technical indicators suggesting that a breakout above $114K for Bitcoin could trigger the next leg of the rally.”
CoinDCX Research Team:
“Bitcoin has pierced through resistance and is consolidating around new highs. This has led to similar consolidation patterns in Ethereum, XRP, and Solana. Among the top gainers are Zcash (+6.24%), Walrus (+5.74%), Pudgy Penguins, Fartcoin, and Sui (each gaining over 4%). On the downside, Sei dropped over 7%, with Arbitrum and Jito also down more than 3.7%. Other notable losers include Bitcoin Cash, JasmyCoin, and Pepe.”
