BITCOIN (BTC)

BTC is priced at $58,500 with a 0.29% loss in value as of the morning hours. A decline was observed after yesterday’s data. An increase was made to $61,500, but it could not be sustained here either. A pullback was observed to $58,000. There seems to be an instant reaction from this region. If the downward movement continues, $56,000 seems to be the strongest support position.

ETHEREUM (ETH)

In pullbacks, $2400 seems strong after $2500. If a breakdown occurs below the $2400 level, pullbacks to $2200 may be seen. If $2780 is broken upwards, pricing up to $3000 may be seen.

RIPPLE (XRP)

XRP is priced at $0.5692 with a 0.11% increase in value as of the morning hours. It rose to $0.65 due to the news, but it was not permanent. In pullbacks, a pullback to $0.54 may occur. In prices above $0.60, increases to $0.70 may be seen.

CHAINLINK (LINK)

LINK is priced at $10.49 with a 0.96% gain in value as of the morning hours. When we examine the hourly chart, LINK, which continues its horizontal movement between this level and 10.90 after breaking the 9.30 region, is performing an upward re-test of this region after breaking the 10.10 level, which is the middle band of the horizontal movement, downward. If LINK rises above this level, it can target $10.90 and then the $12 region, but if there is no upward break, we can expect a pullback to 9.30.

OUNCE GOLD

The ounce of gold is priced at $2451 with a 0.14% increase in value as of the morning hours. When we examine the 4-hour chart of gold, we see that it has made a horizontal movement between 2360 – 2480, and the 2420 and 2440 regions work as support in this range. The price movement was not enough for the new ATH yesterday. A new ATH can be seen at closings above $2477.

OUNCE SILVER

Silver is priced at $27,685 with a 0.43% increase in value as of the morning hours. When we examine the hourly chart, we see that the horizontal movement between the $26.50 and $27.50 levels could not be sustained despite the upward break and there was a downward movement again. If this movement continues, the $27.20 and $27 levels can be followed as support.
