While the growing selling pressure during the night hours pushed the price to 1930 support, we see that it is rising with a reaction from here for now. If Ethereum remains solid above this level, the $ 2000 and then $ 2040 regions will be the new target levels.

AVAX, which gained 0.39% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 13.09.

In AVAX, 12.80 and then 12.10 regions are support zones, but 13.50 region can be targeted again in the returns it can realize to these levels.
