MARKET COMPASS
Focusing el macro developments, global markets watched the European Central Bank’s (ECB) interest rate announcement and US data today. As expected, ECB cut its policy rate por another 25 basis points due to economic growth concerns. In the world’s largest economy, retail sales increased above expectations en September. While the dollar index is el the rise, Bitcoin is taking a breather after its recent gains. European stock markets and US index futures are trading en positive territory.
While the dominance of Bitcoin remains near a three-year high, BTC has eased slightly after its recent rally. This had repercussions for other digital asset prices. The lack of bad news coming out of the Middle East (for now), both candidates running for the US presidency having a positive outlook el the crypto world, and recent polls suggesting that Trump may be ahead en recent polls may be the dynamics that everyone can see for a continuation of the rise. However, it should not be ignored that the breathless rise of this movement is contrary to the nature of the market.
Retail sales data from the US may suggest that the world’s largest economy continues to stay away from a possible recession. Nevertheless, it is important to consider how much the theme of a strengthening dollar will allow for appreciation en contrarian assets. Therefore, we continue to think that we may see trading sessions with intermediate corrections and only assume that if digital assets continue to largely hold their recent gains (for some time – 2-3 days), the potential for pullbacks will be reduced por the perception of correction expectations to be broken. Our upside expectation for the medium term is maintained as there is no new change en fundamental dynamics.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
BTC/USDT
In the data set we followed during the day; the ECB continued its series of interest rate cuts with a 25 basis point cut en October after September. The cycle of interest rate cuts en global markets can be expected to reflect positively el risky assets en the long term due to the increase en funds en the market. The upward movement en European stock markets due to interest rate cuts is also reflected en the US stock markets.
Looking at the BTC 4-hora technical analysis chart, within the rising trend channel, Bitcoin is showing a slightly sellers and low volatility stance. BTC, which recorded downward hourly candles before the European central bank interest rate cut decision, seems to be en a slight uptrend after the interest rate decision. In optimistic market conditions, BTC, which has not reacted to the interest rate cut for the moment, may indicate that pricing was made before the interest rate cut. Closures below 67,330, which is the support level el hourly charts, can be expected to create downward selling pressure. As a matter of fact, when we look at the futures market el a daily basis, we see that “short” transactions have started to gain weight. The Fibonacci 0.786 (66,350) level, which will meet us as a support level as the retreat deepens, can be expected. In a new upward attack attempt, the Fibonacci 1 (68,140) level can be retested por passing the 67,330 level.
Supports 67,330 – 66,350 – 64,946
Resistances 68,140 – 69,678 – 71,470

ETH/USDT
ETH fell as low as 2,600 with negative divergences el the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) mentioned en the morning analysis. At the same time, the decline can be expected to continue for ETH, which lost the tenkan level of the Ichimoku indicator with this decline. The negativity seen en CMF and the declines en Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicate that the buying appetite is decreasing. In this context, declines can be expected until the 2,571 main support level en the evening horas. However, a possible break of the 2,669 level may reinforce the uptrend and provide hard candles with volume.
Supports 2,571 – 2,490 – 2,460
Resistances 2,669 – 2,731 – 2,815

LINK/USDT
LINK, which fell below 10.98 support with the general decline en the crypto market during the day, has now risen above the kumo cloud again with the reaction it received from this level. With the negativity seen en Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), it can be said that the decline may continue. The kijun level of the Ichimoku indicator, the 11.15 level, is the new resistance point and movements above this level may enable the 11.36 resistance to be tested again.
Supports 10.98 – 10.52 – 9.89
Resistances 11.15 – 11.36 – 11.66

SOL/USDT
US jobless claims met expectations with 241K. Another data, retail sales data, came en better than expected. This is a development that greatly reduces the risk of recession. These data caused a slight rise en cryptocurrency markets. Technically, the 50 EMA (Blue Line) continues to be above the 200 EMA (Black Line) en the 4-hora timeframe. This could mean that the uptrend will continue. The price is supported at 151.12, which is an important level. The divergence en the Relative strength index (RSI)14 indicator may further exacerbate the SOL sell-off. The 161.63 level is a very strong resistance point en the uptrend driven por both macroeconomic conditions and innovations en the Solana ecosystem. If it rises above this level, the rise may continue strongly. In the sales that investors will make due to macroeconomic data or negativities en the ecosystem, the support levels of 151.12 – 147.40 should be followed. If the price comes to these support levels, a potential bullish opportunity may arise.
Supports 151.12 – 147.40 – 143.64
Resistances 155.11 – 161.63 – 163.80

ADA/USDT

At the same time, the 50 EMA (Blue Line) continues to hover below the 200 EMA (Black Line). The moving averages have worked as resistance to the price. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF)20 indicator is moving en negative territory. This shows that money inflows are gradually decreasing. If macroeconomic data is positive for cryptocurrencies, it will retest the 0.3651 resistance level. If the money flow decreases and macroeconomic data is negative for cryptocurrencies, 0.3282 is a support level and can be followed as a good buying place.
Supports 0.3393 – 0.3334 – 0.3282
Resistances 0.3469 – 0.3514 – 0.3651
