BITCOIN(BTC)

Bitcoin is priced at $ 37,950 with a 0.34% gain in value as of today morning hours. On the 4-hour chart, it respected the rising channel and got a reaction from the bottom and was able to reach its first target, the middle of the channel. Although it rose above $38,000 yesterday evening, there has been a slight retreat. After breaking the middle part of the horizontal band upwards, the upper part of the channel, i.e. $39,500, could be the next target. If there is a pullback, 37.360 seems to be the first support position.

ETHEREUM(ETH)

ETH, which gained 37% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 2055. On the 4-hour chart, after breaking the falling structure upwards, it provided a fake entry again, but we see pricing above $ 2050 again. 2050 dollars is a critical level and the first target in the continuation of the upward movement will be to exceed 2135 dollars. If a downward price movement is seen, the first support zone seems to be 2010 dollars.

RIPPLE(XRP)

XRP is priced at $0.6124 with a 0.28% 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.

AVALANCHE(AVAX)

AVAX is priced at $ 20.88 with a 0.92% gain in value as of morning hours. The $20 level was regained. It is now very important to ensure permanence here. If $20 works as support, the target may now be $24. If $20 is lost again, this time we may see a retreat to $17.

SOLANA(SOL)

SOL is priced at $ 58.23 with a 0.1% gain as of morning hours. When we examine the four-hour chart, we see that Solana is trading above the $ 55 level. If this rise continues, the resistance level of 59.30 can be followed. In case of a pullback, the $ 55 level can be tested.

CHAINLINK(LINK)

As of morning hours, LINK is pricing at 14.545 with a 0.17% gain in value. We see that there is a horizontal movement in this region after failing to provide permanence above the 14,600 level, which we follow as a resistance level. If the retreat continues, the $ 14 level can be followed as support. If the resistance level is broken upwards, it may be possible to see a rise towards the 15,200 region.

UNIBOT
UNIBOT is priced at $ 49.45 with a gain of 4.32% as of morning hours. When we examine the four-hour chart, we see that the resistance zone of 46.82 has been broken upwards. If this rise continues, it may be possible to see an increase towards the $ 52 region. In case of a pullback, 47 and then 44 dollar levels can be followed as support.

BADGER

BADGER is priced at $ 3,680 with a gain of 3.43% as of morning hours. When we examine the four-hour chart, we see that there is a horizontal movement. The upper band of the rectangle zone is 3.885 and the lower band is 3.220. With an upward break of this region, we may see an upward move towards the 4,200 region. In case of a pullback, the 3.400 level can be followed as support.
