Rajagopal Menon, VP, WazirX stated, "Bitcoin exceeded the $66,000 mark, briefly touching $67k before facing resistance at the same level, with $65,000 serving as robust support. Surpassing $67,000 could pave the way for a surge towards $68,000 and potentially $70,000. While the crypto market appears on a steady course post-halving, Bitcoin's linear rise may be interrupted by corrections."
He further commented, "Solana (SOL) has breached its $150 barrier, hinting at a forthcoming rally with eyes set on $161. High trading volumes support SOL's recovery, with a breakthrough at $161 promising significant gains."
In addition, He mentioned, "Despite regulatory hurdles, XRP sustains its momentum amid the SEC legal battle. Institutional investors and major holders continue to drive trading activity and price appreciation for the token."
