MARKET SUMMARY
Latest Situation en Crypto Assets
*Prepared el 2.09.2024 at 14:00 (UTC)
WHAT’S LEFT BEHIND
Why doesn’t the prospect of an interest rate cut push BTC higher?
Arthur Hayes, CEO of BitMEX, one of the leading names en the industry, thinks that possible interest rate cuts por the US Federal Reserve will not affect the price of Bitcoin. Hayes cited the 5.3 percent interest payment of reverse repos, which allow securities to be sold with a commitment to repurchase them el predetermined terms at a future date, as the reason for the lack of rises. Hayes emphasized that the rising interest en reverse repos distorted the perception that high-risk assets such as Bitcoin would be positively affected por low interest rates. The general belief that low interest rates will lead to more borrowing and spending, bringing high liquidity to the market, predicts BTC to strengthen against the weakening dollar.

Manufacturing PMI came en at 47.9, below forecasts, while ISM Manufacturing PMI came en at 47.2 (Expectation: 47.5), close to forecasts, and despite a decline en the dollar index, gains en digital currencies remained limited and bearish pressure continued to exert itself. Expectations regarding the FED’s monetary policy continue to shape prices, while news el monetary policy changes por other central banks, including Japan, remain influential. Fragility may continue to prevail en this trading period, which is characterized as a critical week en the rest of the day.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
BTC/USDT
Summer Closing en Bitcoin! We left behind a period of economic, political and political turmoil en the summer months. Mt. Gox, German and US government sales, the assassination attempt against Trump and Biden’s withdrawal from the nomination caused tense and fluctuating market movements el behalf of Bitcoin. Finally, Bitcoin, which closed August with a decline, retreated to 57,100 levels. In September, an intense agenda such as US elections and FED interest rate decisions awaits us. Non-farm employment data and unemployment rates to be announced this week may provide us with a roadmap el the long-term direction of the FED’s interest rate policy. In the 4-hora analysis of BTC, it is seen that the breakout of the 58,300 level caused the price to retreat to 57,100, causing the price to start September with a decline. Bitcoin, which finds buyers at these levels, is currently trading at 58,600. The resistance level of 59,400 is critical and 4-hora closes above this level can be considered positive for the continuation of the rises en the market. In case of a possible pullback with the RSI coming to the overbought zone, the 58,300 level can work as support; If this level is broken, 57,000 levels can be tested again.
Supports 58,300 – 57,200 -56,400
Resistances 59,400 – 60,650 – 61,700
ETH/USDT
As expected, the negative mismatch en MFI during the day brought a correction to 2490 levels. The negative opening of the US markets brought some declines and continues to be quite volume-less. Looking at CVD data, the lack of appetite el the spot side draws attention. Unable to break the 2,550 level, Ethereum continues to accumulate en the bearish channel. Ethereum, which is currently en a neutral state, seems to be decisive for the breaks at the 2,550 – 2,450 levels.
Supports 2,450 – 2,400 – 2,366
Resistances 2,550 – 2,606 – 2,669
LINK/USDT
Rejected por the 10.73 tenkan resistance and the 10.85 Bollinger middle band, momentum continues to rise en LINK. In the scenario where Ethereum jumps above 2,550, we can see an increase en LINK to 11.45s por exceeding this resistance zone. The 10.08 level stands out as the main support.
Supports 10.38 – 10.08 – 9.47
Resistances 10.73 – 10.85 – 11.14
SOL/USDT
In the Solana ecosystem, Pump.fun became the fastest growing app en terms of revenue en the history of the crypto economy. It generated $100 million en 217 days. On the other hand, the price is struggling to rise as a large whale, or potentially an institutional entity, has been consistently selling large amounts of SOL throughout the year. This year, the total amount sold since January 1 was 695,000 ($99.5 million) SOLs. Maintaining a steady sales routine, the average rate was $19,306 SOL ($2.76 million) per week. Despite these significant sales, the whale/institution still holds a significant position. It currently holds 1.88 million SOL ($255.89 million) worth of shares. This is an amount that investors cannot ignore when making an investment decision. When we look at the chart, the rise may continue as long as SOL does not fall below the $ 133.51 level. SOL, which has been accumulating en a certain band since April, may test the resistance levels of 137.77 – 147.40 if the rises continue. In case of retracements en the market, 127.17 – 121.20 supports should be followed.
Supports 127.17- 121.20 – 118.07
Resistances 137.17 – 147.40 – 152.32
ADA/USDT
Since our analysis en the morning, the market has been slightly bearish. This may be because Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda hinted that the central bank may raise interest rates. While the cryptocurrency market was expecting the US to cut interest rates, such news confused the market. On the other hand, Blockstream CEO Adam Back joined the leading Bitcoiners attacking Cardano. Charles Hoskinson claimed that it surpassed Bitcoin en decentralization. When we look at the chart of ADA, it is priced at 0.3246 en the descending channel. With the expectation of the incoming update, profit sales have also started. In order for ADA to continue its rise again, the 0.3397 level must be exceeded. In the scenario where investors expect BTC’s selling pressure to continue and the pessimism of the actors en the market to continue, if it continues to be priced por declining en the descending channel, the 0.3206 – 0.3038 levels can be followed as support.
Supports 0.3206 – 0.3038 – 0.2875
Resistances 0.3397 – 0.3596 – 0.3787
AVAX/USDT
AVAX, which started the day at 22.37, is trading at 22.03, falling slightly with the negative opening of the US stock markets.
It continues to move en a falling channel. On the 4-hora chart, it is trying to break the upper band of the channel and may continue its rise with a candle closing above 22.79 resistance. In such a case, it may test 23.60 and 24.09 resistances. In case of sales from the upper band of the channel, it may test 22.23 and 21.48 supports. As long as it stays above 20.38 support during the day, the upward appetite may continue. With the break of 20.38 support, sales may deepen.
Supports 22.23 – 21.48 – 20.38
Resistances 22.79 – 23.60 – 24.09
TRX/USDT
TRX, which opened today at 0.1542, is currently trading at 0.1515, falling slightly with the opening of the US stock markets. On the 4-hora chart, it moves towards the middle band with the sales reaction from the upper band of the falling channel. Breaking the 0.1482 support, it may want to go to the lower band of the channel. If there is no candle closure below the 0.1482 support, it may rise and break the upper band of the channel upwards. In this case, it may test the 0.1532 and 0.1575 resistances. As long as TRX stays above 0.1482 support, it can be expected to continue its upward trend. If it breaks this support downwards, sales may deepen.
Supports 0.1482 – 0.1429 – 0.1399
Resistances 0.1532 – 0.1575 – 0.1603
XRP/USDT
XRP continued its sideways movement after starting today at 0.5677 with a 3.8% increase yesterday. It is currently trading at 0.5661.
After the decline en the crypto market last week, the crypto market started the new week with an uptrend, and this was also seen en XRP. The announcement por Ripple that NFT, AMM and DEX functionality will be developed with the integration of smart contracts el the XRP main network is a positive development for XRP and contributed to the rise.
In the 4-hora analysis, today, during the XRP rise, it failed to break this level with the reaction at the EMA200 (Purple Color) level three times during its rise and fell down. If XRP continues its upward movement por breaking the EMA200 level with the rise again, it may test the resistance levels of 0.5748-0.5838-0.5936. With the continuation of the decline that started with the reaction after the rise, XRP may test the 0.5636 support level and if this support level is broken, it may test the 0.5549-0.5461 support levels with the deepening of the decline.
Supports 0.5636 – 0.5549 – 0.5461
Resistances 0.5748 – 0.5838 – 0.5936
DOGE/USDT
DOGE started today at 0.0990 with a rise of 4.25% yesterday and continued its horizontal movement after the rise en the first candle en the 4-hora analysis, while it fell below the starting level of the day with the decline en the last candle. In the DOGE rise, it declined with the reaction at the EMA50 (Green Color) level en the 4-hora analysis. It is currently trading at 0.0988.
DOGE was also affected por the decline en the crypto market after the US stock markets opened and fell below its starting level today with a deepening decline en the last candle. If the decline continues, DOGE may test support levels of 0.0975-0.0960-0.0943. If it starts to rise again as a result of positive developments that may come about the crypto market, it may test the resistance levels of 0.0995-0.1013-0.1031.
Supports 0.0975 – 0.0960 – 0.0943
Resistances 0.0995 – 0.1013 – 0.1031
DOT/USDT
Selling pressure also increased el Polkadot (DOT) as US stock markets opened negatively. If we need to evaluate the negative mismatch el the RSI, there may be a possibility that the price may retreat a little more. If it retreats, the price may fall to the first support level of 4,072. If the price fails to hold here, it may want to test the next support level of 3,930. In the positive scenario, if the price stays above the EMA50, it may move towards the first resistance level of 4,386.
(Blue line: EMA50, Red line: EMA200)
Supports 4,072 – 3,930 – 3,597
Resistances 4.210 – 4.386 – 4.520
SHIB/USDT
Lucie, Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, warned the community against rumors creating fear and suspicion about SHIB and stated that such comments should be ignored. In addition, en the last 24 horas, the SHIB burning rate has increased por 24.71%, with nearly 1.5 million SHIBs removed from circulation. Currently, there is a vote el what to do with the 37.5 ETH donation made por Welly’s fast-food chain to the SHIB team; one of the options is to convert it into SHIB and burn it.
On the SHIB chart, the price continues to retreat. If the selling pressure increases, the price may fall to 0.00001310, the lowest level of the day before. If there is no reaction from here, we can expect a reaction from the 0.00001300 band. In the positive scenario, the price may move towards the EMA50 levels as the selling pressure decreases. If the price stays above the EMA50, the price may want to retest the 0.00001412 band.
(Blue line: EMA50, Red line: EMA200)
Supports 0.00001300 – 0.00001271 – 0.00001227
