BITCOIN(BTC)

Bitcoin is priced at $ 30,114 with a 0.15% loss in value as of today morning hours. In Bitcoin, we see that the accumulation process that took place after the rise above 30,000 levels continues and the price is well stuck in the 29,900-30,500 region, which is the lower band of the channel movement. We can also say that with the closing of the week, there was a significant sales volume in Bitcoin, which spent the whole weekend in low volume, but this did not affect the price much. US inflation data to be released on Wednesday, PPI data to be released on Thursday and the Monthly OPEC Report may affect prices in Bitcoin, which has retreated to its current level with the data and some developments last week. While the upside target in Bitcoin is 30.600 and then the 31.400 region, we can say that in case of downward movement, the 29.800-29.900 region and 28.800 levels are the next support zones.

 

ETHEREUM(ETH)
ETH, which lost 0.14% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 1860. Although Ethereum has risen twice to the 1880 region after falling to 1845 levels, which is the channel lower band in Ethereum, we see that it is rapidly moving towards channel support. We can say that the number of tests to the 1845 level in Ethereum has increased considerably, and if this breaks down, 1800 and then 1770 regions may be critical.

AVALANCHE(AVAX)
AVAX is priced at $ 13.30 as of today morning hours, down 2.06%. With the positive price action seen in AVAX over the weekend, we see that the 13.50-13.80 zone was broken upwards and the price rose to 14.20. However, AVAX, which could not remain strong after the breakout, saw significant selling pressure from here and broke the 13.80 zone downwards in the re-test and retreated to 13.30. In case of a continuation of the decline in AVAX, we can say that the 12.80 level is critical and if there is no return from here, it may return to the $ 12 level again.

SOLANA(LEFT)
Solana is priced at $ 13.30 with a 2.06% loss in value as of today morning hours. We see that the 19.70 level was broken upwards after the rise from $ 15 levels in SOL and the price rose to $ 23, which was the target zone at the weekend, but then started to retreat from here, facing a selling pressure. We can say that the $ 21 level in Solana has also worked as a support zone before and we could see a turn. In case of a turnaround, we think that first 23 and then 27 levels will be critical resistance zones.
