———————————————————————————
BITCOIN(BTC)
Bitcoin is priced at $ 34,004 with a 0.25% gain in value as of today morning hours. Yesterday we saw the price above $35,000. If there is a pullback, $ 32,920 seems to be the first support level. If a lower correction is made, the $ 32,000 level needs to be maintained. In upward breakouts, it is very important to exceed 37,500 first. At breakouts above 37,500, we can see the $ 40,000 level. We have seen in the current week that the breaking of resistance levels was achieved not from a technical point of view but from the fundamental side. Upward pricing may continue with any news flow.
ETHEREUM(ETH)
ETH, which gained 0.06% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 1786. After breaking above the horizontal band, we see it breaking the resistances one by one. The range between 1830 and 1802 is very important and the price should have held here but it didn’t. The first support now seems to be the $1750 level, followed by $1661 if there is a stronger pullback. If the upward movement continues, we can see $1800 and then $1850.
RIPPLE(XRP)
XRP is priced at $0.5525 with a 1.13% loss in value as of morning hours. Yesterday, it rose as high as 0.5870 but retreated with a strong reaction. It is currently performing a retest to the upper level of the horizontal band it broke earlier, that is, to $ 0.55. This is a very healthy price action, and in a positive case, it could go back to the $0.58 level. If the retreat deepens, 0.5250 seems to be the first support zone.
AVALANCHE(AVAX)
AVAX is priced at $10.47 with a 1.45% gain in value as of morning hours. At AVAX, we were also in a very strong demand area. Yesterday we mentioned how important the orange zone is. We still see a pricing between 10.30 and 10.55 dollars. If this range is broken, we may see a highly accelerated price movement in whichever direction AVAX continues. On the upside, its first target may be 10.90 dollars and on the downside, its first target may be 10.10 dollars.
SOLANA(SOL)
SOL is priced at $ 31.47 with a gain of 4.31% as of morning hours. SOL, which stuck at $ 32.13, the resistance level we follow, received a reaction from $ 29.60, the support zone we mentioned earlier, with the sale it saw from here. For SOL, which moves between support and resistance levels momentarily, the breakdown down or up will be important. If it breaks the 32.13 resistance level upwards, it may be possible to see an increase up to $ 34. If the support level is broken down, it seems that there may be a retreat to the $ 28 level.
CHAINLINK(LINK)
As of morning hours, LINK is pricing at 11.501 with a 10.89% gain in value. LINK, which experienced some retreat yesterday, is trading above $ 11 again with the reaction it received from the level of 9.875. The closest support level to follow for LINK, which displays a strong outlook, seems to be 11 dollars. If the upward movement continues, resistance levels of 12 and then 12.50 seem to be important.
TOMO
TOMO is pricing at 1.7946 with a gain of 3.75% as of morning hours. When we examine the daily chart, we see that the 1.61-1.64 zone, which has not been overcome for a long time, has been crossed with a voluminous candle. If the upward movements continue, the 1.90 level appears as an important resistance point. Above this level, 2 dollars can be followed. In case of a pullback, the broken resistance may be tested again. The 1.64 region seems to be important for TOMO as a support point.
