BITCOIN(BTC)
Bitcoin is priced at $ 28,810 with a 1.79% gain in value as of today morning hours. The expected movement in Bitcoin yesterday finally took place, and with the return from the 25,000 level, the descending movement broke upwards from the 27,300 region and rose to the next and also quite critical range of 28,800-29,000. There have been some developments in Bitcoin, which has tested this region upwards for now, that caused this movement. First of all, the launch of the Fidelity, Citadel and Schwab-backed exchange was considered as the main factor in the activity, while Deutsche Bank’s license application was also evaluated positively. On the Fidelity side, the expected move after Blackrock’s ETF application became clear in this way. Our target level in Bitcoin is to break the 28,815 level upwards, while the 31,000 level, which we rose in mid-April, will be our medium-term target zone. In case of a retracement from these levels in Bitcoin, we can say that first 28,500 and then 27,500-27,700 regions will be critical.

 

ETHEREUM(ETH)
ETH, which gained 1.24% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 1813. In Ethereum, we see that the 1720 support remained intact and with the positive developments in the market, it broke the 1770 region again by making a significant price movement and switched to the horizontal channel movement in which it stayed for a long time. We can say that our next zone in Ethereum will be the 1855 level, and if it breaks here, we can talk about the upper 1900 levels again, and in a possible pullback, we can say that the 1775 zone will be very critical.

 

AVALANCHE(AVAX)
AVAX, which gained 2.06% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 12.38. We see that the 11.80-12 dollar zone, which is the resistance level of our net horizontal movement seen hourly in AVAX and has been going on for 12 days, was broken upwards with the rise yesterday and the movement continues upwards. We can say that the target levels of the broken movement in AVAX are 12.50 and 12.75.

 

CHAINLINK(LINK)
LINK, which gained 1.96% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 5.37. In LINK, we see that the horizontal movement could not be broken upwards and the price returned from the 5.42 level again. We can say that the target will be the 5.70 region in case of a breakout in LINK, which rises again after the retreat.
