What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex, told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is trading range-bound between $111,500 and $113,000 as capital migration continues into altcoins like Ethereum and Solana. Spot Ether ETFs attracted $1.83 billion in just five days, compared to $171 million for Bitcoin, showing a clear shift in investor sentiment. Meanwhile, Solana has confirmed a bullish breakout, gaining about 18% in the past week. Institutional interest as a treasury asset is contributing to this price action. With momentum intact, SOL could advance toward $234, with solid support established around $200.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “BTC slipped from highs near $113,300 to below $112,000. An early push upward lost steam, with repeated rejections around $113,300 triggering a steady decline. The drop under $112,000 confirms sellers remain in control, with $111,500 as immediate support. A swift recovery above $112,500–$113,000 is needed to stabilize. BTC ETFs recorded $115M in inflows, marking the fourth consecutive day of inflows.”
Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Bitcoin is struggling to hold above $112K after miners offloaded nearly $485 million worth of BTC over the past week, injecting supply pressure into an already fragile market. On-chain signals show momentum slipping, with CryptoQuant’s bull score turning bearish and key support levels being retested. The stronger U.S. GDP in Q2 has also dampened risk appetite, curbing immediate upside. Ethereum, however, remains a bright spot, with booming smart contract activity bolstering its path toward the $5,000 milestone despite short-term consolidation.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin is currently consolidating around $113,000, reflecting cautious optimism in the crypto market. Analysts highlight $109K as a critical support level, with potential resistance near $117K. Institutional demand remains strong, fueled by rising ETF inflows and reduced exchange supply. Technical indicators suggest sideways momentum, though a breakout above $114K could trigger a rally toward $140K. Conversely, a drop below support may prompt short-term corrections. Bitcoin’s dominance is recovering, and macroeconomic conditions, such as anticipated U.S. rate cuts, continue to support upward pressure. The long-term outlook remains bullish, with some forecasts pointing to $200K by 2026 amid tightening supply.”
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “Crypto markets tread cautiously on August 29, 2025, as Bitcoin stabilizes just below $112K and Ethereum sees slight retracement. Market participants closely watch today’s $13.8B Bitcoin options expiry, aware of potential volatility. Attention is also on utility-backed altcoins like Remittix and Cardano, while a massive $4.5B in token unlocks looms in September.”
CoinDCX Research Team noted, “The Bitcoin price is consolidating between $111,500 and $112,000 while keeping up the momentum by printing small higher highs and lows. Meanwhile, Ethereum prices also accumulate around $4,500, while BinanceCoin is heading towards new highs. Solana cleared the pivotal resistance at $210, approaching $220, while XRP & ADA have been restricted below $3 and $0.9, respectively. The top gainers for the day are Pyth Network, with a rise of over 90%, followed by Pump.fun with a gain of over 15%, and Conflux with a 10% increase. Besides, Cronos plunges by 14.5%, followed by Hyperliquid, Aerodrome Finance & Pendle by over 4% each.”
Parth Shrivastava, Head of Quant, 9Point Capital Research Team, said, “Bitcoin’s pullback offers an opportunity to accumulate at better levels. Structural demand remains intact, institutional flows are steady, and long-term on-chain metrics continue to strengthen. We expect volatility in the near term, but our medium-term outlook stays bullish. Dips like these align with our strategy of building positions gradually.”
