BITCOIN(BTC)

Bitcoin is priced at $ 30,083 with a 0.19% loss in value as of today morning hours. After the horizontal movement seen in Bitcoin over the weekend, the selling pressure that occurred yesterday evening pushed the price below the 29,800 support, but we see that the 4-hour close did not come and Bitcoin rose slightly from here and rose above the 30,000 level. Although there was no development after the positive news on Thursday, we can say that there is no reason for negative pricing to this extent and that the range of 29,850-30,000 can be considered as an opportunity in the channel movement, but stop should be used to be ready for breakouts and closures.

ETHEREUM(ETH)
ETH, which lost 0.22% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 1906. In Ethereum, we see that the 1915 level was broken down and the channel went down to the mid-band. Although Ethereum, which did not break here, rose above 1900 again with a quick return from the 1880 region, we can say that it faced selling pressure here and its pricing is still negative.

AVALANCHE(AVAX)
AVAX is priced at $ 14.22 as of today morning hours, down 0.19%. After falling to the critical support level of 13.80 yesterday, AVAX broke its descending movement upwards and rose as high as 14.65. After the retracement from here, we see that AVAX has broken the descending movement upwards and at the same time is above 14.20 support. If these two levels are broken, we think that the price may come to the 13.80 region again. We can also say that the primary target will be 14.60 in case of a return.

CHAINLINK(LINK)
LINK, which lost 0.72% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 7.138. With the positive news flow coming in LINK, we see that the range of 6.75-6.95, which fell below, has risen above the range of 6.75-6.95, and at the same time, the descending movement that has entered again has been overcome and broken upwards. We can say that the breakout was also confirmed by closing above this region in LINK and for now, it would be more accurate to wait for a re-test to the 6.90 region, waiting for the breakout to be fully confirmed and an upward signal to come.
