On-Chain Data on Cardano Reaches New ATH Levels
Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem continues to rise and recover from the problems that started with the SEC lawsuit on Cardano.

After losing nearly $ 50 million in value with the lawsuit process, the TVL level in Cardano managed to rise above $ 150 million in the 2-week period. Along with the TVL data, there was a significant increase in the number of active users and daily trade volume data.

BITCOIN(BTC)

Bitcoin is pricing at $ 30,352 with a 0.28% gain in value as of today morning hours. Looking at the hourly chart in Bitcoin, we see that the horizontal movement continues and that it has risen again after testing the support level last night. In addition to its horizontal movement, it also confirmed its descending triangle movement from the top seen last week with its returns to the support zone at night. While the bullish target in Bitcoin seems to be the 31,000 breakout, the support zone is in the range of 29,800-29,950. We would like to say that we may see a breakout on one of the two sides with the data coming from the US side today, but Thursday’s data has the potential to be even more important and effective.

ETHEREUM(ETH)
ETH, which gained 0.51% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 1868. We see that the hourly horizontal channel movement in Ethereum broke down yesterday evening, but then managed to rise above 1870 again. In Ethereum, which we currently see retreating to the support zone for a re-test, if 1870 breaks down, the 1830 level will be the next support, and if we manage to stay intact and get a return signal, we can say that the target level will be 1920.

AVALANCHE(AVAX)
AVAX, which gained 0.68% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 13.32. AVAX started to perform an ascending channel movement after the upward breakout of the $ 12 zone. After testing the channel support yesterday, we can say that this movement continues for now in AVAX, which remains strong here, and if the upward movement continues, the target level will be 13.80.

What Is a Bonding Curve in Crypto
Bonding curves have quietly become one of the most powerful tools in crypto. You see them used in token launches, NFT platforms, DAOs, and all sorts of DeFi experiments. But what are they really?

What is Front Running in Crypto and Finance
Front running is when someone uses early access to trading information to jump ahead of someone else’s order and make a profit from the price move that follows. It is not investing.
