BITCOIN(BTC)

Bitcoin is priced at $ 26332 with a 0.12% gain in value as of today morning hours. Bitcoin, which found support at the $ 26000 level after breaking down the middle level of the horizontal band, has the possibility of being rejected from the middle of the horizontal band again. If it is rejected from the middle of the horizontal band, there is a possibility that it may go below the horizontal band, that is, to 25300 levels. With the horizontal band breaking upwards, our target may be around 27500 dollars.

ETHEREUM(ETH)

ETH, which gained 0.25% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 1592.33. In Ethereum, we see that the pricing between 1530-1745 continues on the 4-hour chart. After the loss of the $ 1600 level, we see that ETH, which received a good reaction at the level of 1570, tested 1565 again yesterday at noon. As there is some positive pricing in the market, we are likely to go to the 1635 level first. In case of persistence above 1635, we can test $ 1750 levels.

RIPPLE(XRP)

XRP is priced at $0.5017 with a 0.77% loss in value as of morning hours. In XRP, we saw that the 0.50 level, which was the horizontal resistance level in 4 hours, was working as support, but it broke down. Our new support level first appears to be 0.4883. If the horizontal band breaks down, 0.47 dollars will be our second support level. If it stays above 0.52, we can test 0.55 levels.

AVALANCHE(AVAX)

AVAX is priced at $ 9.01 with a 0.67% gain as of morning hours. Although it broke the downward trend upwards towards noon yesterday, it could not find enough strength and broke down again. Although it was rejected at 9.05, which is our horizontal resistance, an upward breakout is likely to occur with the positive pricing of the market at the moment. Our first resistance level seems to be 9.3 and the second one is 9.5 dollars.

SOLANA(SOL)

SOL is pricing at 19.40 with a gain of 0.05% as of morning hours. In a short period of time, the price became very tight. It is priced between 19.15 and 19.80. In case of an upward breakout, the price will first try to rise above the $ 20 level again. In the event of a drop below 19.15, SOL may fall to the 18.90s and then to the $18 level.

CHAINLINK(LINK)

LINK, which lost 0.41% as of morning hours, is priced at 7.463. On LINK, we first saw $7 after the break of the horizontal band. Then, with the break of the $ 7.3 level, we tested the $ 7.5 level. Although it seems to be rejected for the moment, there is positive pricing. In the short term, after the retest to the 7.4 level, there is a possibility of going up to 7.9 dollars.
