BITCOIN(BTC)

Bitcoin is priced at $ 41,865 with a 0.30% loss in value as of today morning hours. Yesterday, it went up to $42,500 but could not hold on to those levels. 42,000 dollars is a difficult area to break through, and it is very difficult to break through on the first attempt. Pullbacks up to $40,900 are normal, and the price going sideways for a while between $40,000 and $42,000 will be a more positive movement for the future. On a break of $42,000, we could see the price suddenly rise to $44,000. If a downward correction is to take place, $ 40,000 seems to be one of the major supports after $ 40,900.

ETHEREUM(ETH)

ETH, which lost 0.58% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 2231. ETH rose as high as $ 2275 and then completed its retreat to $ 2200. In pricing below $ 2200, retreats up to $ 2150 can be seen. In the continuation of the upward movement, 2300 dollars will be the first resistance level.

RIPPLE(XRP)

XRP is pricing at $ 0.6203 with a 0.67% loss in value as of morning hours. With the sudden movements yesterday, it went up to 0.6450 and fell to 0.5820, the demand zone. A sideways movement between $0.60 and $0.62 would be better for a healthy rise. Pricing above 0.6230 dollars may pave the way for rises up to 0.64 again.

AVALANCHE(AVAX)

AVAX is pricing at $ 22.75 levels with a 0.35% gain in value as of morning hours. The horizontal channel seems to have formed. With yesterday’s sudden rises, it fell to $ 20.50, but the price recovered quickly and rose again to $ 23. A horizontal movement between $23 and $22 would be healthier for AVAX. In the short term, we can set the support zone at $22 and resistance zone at $23 in this small area.

SOLANA(SOL)

SOL is priced at $ 60.54, down 1.78% as of morning hours. SOL, which experienced some retracement yesterday, could not maintain above the resistance level of 61.40 and fell back to the 60 region. If this decline continues, the closest support point is 59 dollars. Reactions to be taken from this level can be followed. In order for the rise to continue again, persistence above the $ 62 region seems important. The other resistance point to follow is 66 dollars.

CHAINLINK(LINK)

As of morning hours, LINK is pricing at 15.515 with a 1.88% loss in value. When we examine the four-hour chart, we see that the ascending triangle pattern is broken upwards and there is a movement up to the 16,300 level. LINK, which could not provide permanence in this region, retreated to the 15.450 region yesterday. If this decline continues, a pullback to the 15,200 region may be possible. As resistance, 16,300 and 16,600 levels seem important.

ANKR
ANKR is priced at $ 0.02966 with a gain of 8.77% as of morning hours. When we examine the daily chart, we see that the resistance zone of 0.02740 has been broken upwards. If the upward movement continues, the 0.03050 level can be followed as resistance. In case of a pullback, the 0.02870 level can be followed as support.

SAND

SAND is priced at $ 0.4535 with a 5% gain in value as of morning hours. When we examine the daily chart, we see that the falling trend and the horizontal resistance zone are broken upwards and there is a strong movement. If this movement continues, the 0.4700 level can be followed as resistance. If this level is broken upwards, we may see a rise up to the 0.5000 region. In case of a pullback, the 0.4430 region can be followed as support.
