BITCOIN(BTC)
Bitcoin is priced at $ 38,175 with a 1.2% gain as of today morning hours. On the 4-hour chart, we see that the ascending channel is still working successfully. Although $37,500 seems to have worked as support, exceeding the middle part of the rising channel should be the first target for now. In case of an upward breakout, there is a possibility of going to the $ 40,000 level towards testing the top of the channel. If there is a pullback, 36,500 seems to be the first strong support.
ETHEREUM(ETH)
ETH, which gained 2.10% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 2095. On the 4-hour chart, it is still moving within the horizontal band. We saw $2025 working as support. The first target should be to exceed the $2135 level, which is above the channel. Then, a rise up to $ 2200 can be seen. If there is a pullback, the first strong support seems to be the 2015 dollar zone.
RIPPLE(XRP)
XRP is priced at $0.6049 with a 0.78% gain as of morning hours. On the 4-hour chart, we can now consider $0.5981 as intermediate support. In the continuation of the upward movement, $ 0.62 is the first target, and if the rise continues, a price movement up to $ 0.65 can be seen. In case of a downward pullback, the first support zone seems to be between 0.59 and 0.5988. It seems to have formed a double bottom at the moment. In case the pattern works, the target is 0.6376 dollars.
AVALANCHE(AVAX)
AVAX is priced at $ 22.28 with a 4.16% gain in value as of morning hours. After the $20 level was regained, $22 seems to have been regained as well.
