What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex, told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is stabilising near $107,800 as investor confidence strengthens following Trump’s confirmation of peace talks with Iran. Institutional activity continues to drive price action, with Bitcoin ETFs recording the largest single-day inflow for June with $588.6 million. This marks 11 straight days of net positive flows, the longest streak since December 2024. However, with U.S. GDP and jobless claims data due later today, a shift in market momentum is likely. Bitcoin now faces resistance at $108,700, while support has moved higher to $106,400, maintaining the bullish structure.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Bitcoin climbed steadily—rising over 2% to surpass $107,000, buoyed by easing Middle East tensions and the Federal Housing Finance Agency directing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to consider crypto assets in mortgage applications. Ahead of the June 27 options expiry, BTC’s put‑call ratio surged, reflecting both downside protection and bullish cash‑secured puts, suggesting a tight trading range with a modest upside bias. Additionally, Shiba Inu whales accumulated 10.4 trillion SHIB (≈ $110 million), triggering a 17% rebound from a 16‑month low and setting the stage for a bullish continuation if $0.00001175 is cleared.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Amid easing geopolitical tensions and renewed institutional inflows, the crypto market is finding its footing with a cautiously optimistic undertone. Bitcoin has climbed over 3% in the past seven days and is now hovering around $108,000, signaling firm support from market participants. Holding current levels, Bitcoin could soon retest the $110,000 mark. A weekly drawdown of just 4.7% signals reduced volatility and hints at a potential breakout. Institutional Bitcoin holdings are rising again, reflecting strong conviction among large investors.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin continues to consolidate around $108,000, showing resilience after recent volatility. Derivatives data reveals balanced long-short positioning, with funding rates hovering near neutral, signaling indecision. Liquidation clusters are stacked between $106K–$110K, indicating potential for stop-hunts in either direction. Open interest remains elevated, hinting at a coiled market primed for breakout. A push above $108.5K on strong volume could trigger bullish momentum toward $112K–$115K. Conversely, a breakdown below $106K may invite aggressive shorting. With no major catalysts until CPI data, Bitcoin appears set for a technical move driven by liquidity grabs and leveraged positioning. Stay alert for volatility expansion.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Bitcoin reclaimed $107k level as macroeconomic conditions improved. The latest statement by Fed chief around stablecoin industry becoming mature and mainstream signals a major shift in the policy mindset of federal reserve. The regulatory environment continues to improve for the digital asset industry which may result in a sustained growth momentum.”
CoinDCX Research Team noted, “Bitcoin is gaining momentum as the bulls influence over the rally escalates with an ease in the global tensions. With this, the entire market is strengthening as the tokens within the top 10 are attracting minimal gains. Meanwhile, altcoins like Pi surged by over 8%, followed by Kaspa at 4.61% and Bitcoin Cash at 3.76%. On the other hand, Sei, which was among the top performers, plunged by more than 10%, followed by Fartcoin at 9.49% and Stacks and Curve DAO Token at over 8% each. The overall market trend remains largely stable, preparing for the next bullish wave.”
Srinivas L, CEO, 9Point Capital, said, “We expect a strong rebound in Bitcoin from the 107K zone as selling pressure shows signs of exhaustion. With ETF inflows stabilizing and broader risk sentiment improving, BTC looks poised for a recovery. 105K now acts as a critical support level for bulls to build on.”
