Stablecoin Market Cap at Lowest Levels
According to data provided by CCData, the market capitalization of stablecoins has reached its lowest level since September 2021. It fell by 0.57% to 128 billion dollars with the mobility experienced in June. We also see that the market dominance of stablecoins has fallen to 11% after the 16.6% ATH level seen in December.

 

BITCOIN(BTC)
Bitcoin is priced at $ 28,810 with a 0.35% gain in value as of today morning hours. The ETF news and the positive outlook on the technical side in Bitcoin continue to drive the price higher. After the 25,000 re-test, we returned to the 31,000 region, which was the peak level we caught in April, as the rise and ETF news coincided at the same time. In Bitcoin, we can say that the primary target level in the rise that started with the re-test following the TOBO formation on the weekly chart is above the 35,000 level, but of course this does not have to happen immediately and for now our primary expectation level is to break the 31,000 resistance.

 

ETHEREUM(ETH)
ETH, which gained 1.24% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 1903. With the rise in Ethereum after the upward break of 1780, it advanced to the $ 1930 region, the resistance level of the horizontal channel movement it had previously realized in 4 hours, and faced a selling pressure from here. We can say that the first support level in Ethereum may be in the 1870 region, and if it breaks, the 1850 level will be critical.

AVALANCHE(AVAX)
AVAX, which gained 0.46% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 12.95. AVAX broke the middle band of the descending channel movement on the 3-day chart with the rise following the horizontal channel movement broken on the hourly chart and managed to rise up to the $ 13 level. We would also like to say that the next target zone in AVAX is 13.80-14.20, which we show in green.

 

CHAINLINK(LINK)
LINK, which gained 3.02% as of morning hours, is priced at $5.72. After breaking the resistance level of 5.42, the resistance level of the horizontal movement in LINK, we see that the price rose to 5.82, the target level of the horizontal movement, but could not break it and a profit-taking sale started from here. In LINK, 5.60 is the next support level and in case of a possible upward breakout, 6 dollars and then 6.20 regions will be critical.

What is Front Running in Crypto and Finance
