On May 17th, TsLombard stated that an aggressive tightening cycle is unlikely. Faced with the oil price shock, the extent of policy tightening by global central banks is likely to be quite limited. In Europe, the energy shock is already dragging down economic activity. The UK labor market has been volatile for some time, and hiring sentiment in Europe is becoming increasingly weak. In our view, the tightening力度 of the ECB and the Bank of England this year will be less than the market expects, and this possibility is currently underestimated. In the US, the likelihood of the Federal Reserve implementing policy tightening in the short term is small, and even if it does, it is almost certain to be before 2027.On May 17, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government announced the activation of the alert level under the "Ebola Virus Preparedness and Response Plan" to protect public health.

Indian Exchange Volumes Benefiting from Bitcoin Price Drop

Bitcoin's anticipated fall from grace in recent days was a phenomenon that surprised investors and dealers. However, this was a happy moment for Indian crypto exchange operators, as trading volumes increased dramatically once BTC's price retested the lower $29,000 zone.

Indian Stock Exchange Volumes Increase

Following a dry period, trade volumes on Indian crypto platforms increased. For the most of this year, Bitcoin and other altcoins experienced a range bound price movement, and Indian crypto exchange volumes were similarly modest.


As bitcoin's price fell by more than 56% from its all-time high of $69,000 in November 2021, transaction volumes increased throughout marketplaces as a result of the selling pressure.


According to accounts from local news organizations, the increase in volumes in India was enormous and lasted almost two days. Trade volumes on crypto trading platforms including WazirX, CoinDCX, and Unocoin increased by 20 to 75 percent.


"Overall volumes increased by 70% between May 8 and 9," stated Nischal Shetty, Co-founder and CEO of WazirX, in an interview. In terms of trading, there is a mood of 'buying the drop,' as buyers have been somewhat controlling the market."


He went on to say that such purchasing activity shows that investor confidence in the market is still high, even at current levels.

India's Web3 Developments Increasing My Pace

According to a recent research, the number of Web3 developers reporting their locations climbed the highest in India and Russia, respectively, increasing to 5.3 percent and 4.3 percent of the market share. The United States, on the other hand, has lost over 20% of its market share since 2015.


With the emergence of Web3 and blockchain development in the Indian subcontinent, an increase in trading volumes amid a wider market fall indicates market players' trust. This meant that Indians succumbed to the "buy the dip" mentality.


"Volatility usually leads to a rise in volume on platforms like ours," said Minal Thukral, Executive Vice President, Growth and Strategy at CoinDCX. We're witnessing an increase in the number of people purchasing the dip and a decrease in the number of users selling it."


However, since the new tax policy took effect on April 1, trade volumes on Indian crypto exchanges have decreased. However, it seems that Indians are increasingly taking greater risks, indicating a growing interest in hazardous asset investments in the country.
