BITCOIN(BTC)
Bitcoin is priced at $ 41.200 with a 0.85% loss in value as of today morning hours. Yesterday, $ 42,400 was tested again, but the upward break was not successful. Between $40,700 and $40,100 is a strong support and serious declines may occur in the downward break. The next support level after this region seems to be 38,000 dollars. If this region works as support, the rise up to $ 42,500 can be seen again.
ETHEREUM(ETH)
ETH, which lost 1.27% as of morning hours, is priced at $ 2169. We see $2166 working as a strong support. If it stays above this point, an increase up to $ 2250 can be seen. If the downward break of $2166 occurs, $2100 seems to be the first support position.
RIPPLE(XRP)
XRP is priced at $0.6068 with a 0.57% gain as of morning hours. Above $0.60, persistence is important and rises up to $0.66 can be seen in the continuation of the upward movement. Below $0.60, this time $0.57 may work as support again.
AVALANCHE(AVAX)
AVAX is priced at $ 39.97 with a 1.62% depreciation as of morning hours. After climbing up to $ 44, it experienced a decline of up to $ 39 with sales. The $38 zone is a strong support and may pave the way for AVAX to reach $50 on the upside. In pricing below $ 38, the first support appears to be $ 35.
SOLANA(SOL)
SOL is priced at $ 69.81, down 1.5% as of morning hours. When we examine the four-hour chart, we see that the $ 77.40 resistance level we follow has been passed, but there is no permanence above this level. With the retreat after this movement, there was a retreat below the $ 70 level again. The $68 and $66 levels seem important as support levels. As resistance, 70 and 72 dollar levels can be followed.
CHAINLINK(LINK)
As of morning hours, LINK is pricing at 13.830 with a 1.3% loss in value. When we examine the four-hour chart, we see that the $ 14 support level was broken downwards with the retreat. In case of persistence below this region, the retreat may continue and a movement towards the 13,500 region may be possible. As a support level, $ 13 is an important region. In order to talk about the rise again, the $ 14 level can be followed as a critical zone.
FTT
FTT is priced at $3,738 with a 4% gain as of morning hours. When we examine the four-hour chart, we see that the level of 3.45 dollars was tested with the retreat and a reaction was taken from this level. In case of persistence above this level, the $ 4 level can be followed again. With a downward break of the support level of 3.45 dollars, a movement towards the 3 dollar zone may be possible.
WLD
WLD is priced at $ 4,036 with a 4% depreciation as of morning hours. When we examine the daily chart, there was a very strong rise with the upward break of the 2.75 level, which is the resistance zone, and the 4.7 dollar level was tested. In case of a pullback, the levels of 4 and 3.80 dollars appear as important support points. If the rise continues, if the 4.7 dollar zone is exceeded, the 5 dollar level can be tested.
