BITCOIN(BTC)
Bitcoin is priced at $ 34,025 with a 0.37% loss in value as of today morning hours. It was rejected from a very important level in the weekly picture, the instability zone. Above 33,500 would still be positive for Bitcoin. If the pullbacks deepen, $ 32,900 and then $ 31,000 can work as support. In the continuation of the upward movement, it would be good for the price to move upwards in the future, first above $ 35,000 and then above $ 37,500 for a while.
ETHEREUM(ETH)
ETH, which lost 0.87% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 1787.80. After being rejected at a critical level of $1850, it seems to have found support around $1780. 1750 dollars will be quite critical. Above this level would take it back to the $1880 level and then to the $1900 level. In the loss of $ 1750, $ 1715 and then $ 1650 levels can work as support.
RIPPLE(XRP)
XRP is priced at $0.5488 as of morning hours, down 0.85%. It seems to be supported by the upper part of the horizontal band. The 0.55 level is very important and it needs to remain above this level for the upward movement to continue. If it re-enters the horizontal band, it may first test 0.5384 and then 0.52 dollars.
AVALANCHE(AVAX)
As of morning hours, AVAX is priced at 10.65 dollars with a 3.62% depreciation. After being rejected at $11.50, it seems to have received support at $10.50. In the continuation of the downward movement, there may be a decline up to 10.20 dollars. If the upward movement continues, it would be positive for the price to stay above $ 11 and then above $ 11.50.
SOLANA(SOL)
SOL is priced at $ 32.20 with a 1.74% loss in value as of morning hours. SOL, which is consolidating at the resistance level of 32.13, seems to be able to try the up levels again if it is permanent here. The resistance level of $34, which we follow as a resistance level, may be important for the continuation of the upward movement. In retreats, the 29 – 29.60 zone, which we follow first as $ 30 and then as a support level, stands important in terms of reaction points.
CHAINLINK(LINK)
As of morning hours, LINK is pricing at 10.856 with a 0.67% loss in value. LINK, which has experienced a good rise this week, seems to be trying to hold above the $ 11 level. The $11 level is a critical level for the continuation of the upward movement. If it persists above this zone, it may be possible to see an upward movement up to 12 and then 12.50 levels. The closest support level is 10.60. LINK, which retreated to these levels yesterday, may test $ 10 levels if it falls below this level.
MAKER (MKR)
MKR is pricing at 1385 with a 2.26% depreciation as of morning hours. When we examine the 12-hour chart, it moves above the support point at $ 1347. MKR, which saw selling pressure from the 1580 level, which we follow as a resistance point, continues its horizontal movement between these two regions. If the support level breaks down, it may retreat to $ 1265. If the resistance level is broken upwards, it seems that it may rise up to the level of 1700 dollars.
