Bitcoin Whales Buy While Ethereum Whales Sell
This week, observers caught a sharp contrast between the major holders of the two largest cryptocurrencies on the market. They emphasized the seeming contrast between the whales in Bitcoin and Ethereum. Ethereum whales holding 1,000 or more ETH (worth about $1.5 million) have been in a sharp downtrend since 2020, with a total of $20 million worth of ETH sold in the process, according to on-chain analytics firm Glassnode. Bitcoin whales, on the other hand, are quietly accumulating. Those holding 1,000 or more BTC (roughly $26.9 million) were mostly stable over the same time period.

BITCOIN(BTC)
Bitcoin is priced at $ 27,272 with a 0.44% gain in value as of today morning hours. After consolidating at 26,750 support for a long time, it was able to overcome 27,000 resistance. Its next first target is to re-enter the trend, i.e. to exceed the 27,500 level. As of now, our initial support looks like $27,000. In case of a break below $27,000, 26,500 may be our next support.
ETHEREUM(ETH)
ETH, which gained 0.42% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 1563.40. With the move over the weekend, ETH failed to rise as much as Bitcoin. The $1570 level is working as resistance for the moment. With the break of this level, we can see the first 1580 and then the 1600 dollar level again. Our first support seems to be 1550 dollars.
RIPPLE(XRP)
XRP is priced at $0.4867 as of morning hours, down 0.16%. It seems to be rejected again from the bottom of the horizontal band, that is, from the level of 0.4885 dollars. If the downward movement continues, our first support could be $0.48. If an upward breakout occurs, $0.50 seems to be our first resistance level. Supports may work a little stronger this time as the market is more driven by Bitcoin and is on the rise.
AVALANCHE(AVAX)
AVAX is priced at $ 9.48 with a 3.60% gain in value as of morning hours. After the break of $9.40, our first resistance seems to be the $9.60 level. As of now, the $ 9.40 level has turned into the first support, but we have always experienced decreases at the same rate as these increases. After breaking the $ 9.60 level, we can go up to $ 10 again.
SOLANA(SOL)
SOL is priced at $ 22.16 with a 1.05% gain as of morning hours. SOL, which received a reaction from 21.20, the support level we mentioned earlier, seems to be trying to provide permanence above $ 22 again. The level to be followed primarily seems to be 22 dollars. If the movement continues upwards, 22.60 will be critical. In case of a downward movement, 21.20 can be followed again.
CHAINLINK(LINK)
As of morning hours, LINK is pricing at 7.573 with a 2.05% gain in value. LINK, which fell to 7.125 last week, is on the rise again with the reaction it received from this level. The resistance of 7.70 will be important for LINK, which is trading above the short-term resistance of 7.40. With the break of the $ 7.70 resistance, it may be possible to see $ 8 levels. Important support points are 7.4 and 7.125.
MATIC
MATIC is pricing at 0.5260 with a 2% gain as of morning hours. MATIC, which continues in a downward movement, seems to want to start its upward movement again by getting a reaction from the 0.5030 support level we mentioned earlier. This level seems to be critical for MATIC, which is traded at 0.5260, which we follow as an instant resistance level. If this level is exceeded, the first target is 0.5450. Support levels are 0.5140 and 0.5030.
