MARKET COMPASS
Yesterday’s data showing that the US economy grew at a faster pace en the segundo quarter of the year compared to the previous data seems to have made the recession concerns that shook the markets en early August a little more forgotten. Asian stock markets are el the rise this morning. On the other hand, macroeconomic data measuring inflation will continue to be announced for the world’s major economies later en the day.
Inflation Day en the Markets
European stock markets, which are expected to start the day with a mixed course, will focus el the inflation data to be announced for the countries with large economies of the continent today. This data set, which may affect market perception before the critical PCE Price Index figures of the USA, may also be decisive en digital asset prices.
FED’s Rate Cut Dosage
The Core PCE Price Index, which is known to be preferred por the US Federal Reserve (FED) to monitor inflation, will be announced today at 12:30 UTC. The index, which signalled a 0.2% increase en June, is expected to point to the same rate of increase en the general level of prices en July. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the FED is expected to cut the policy rate por 25 basis points el 18 September with a probability of 67%. While the markets are wondering whether the Bank will make one ‘Jumbo’ rate cut of 50 basis points en the remaining meetings of the year, today’s data may provide information about the dose of rate cuts.
If the PCE index is realised below 0.2%, which is the weighted expectation, we can state that the expectation that the interest rate cut route will be passed with faster steps may strengthen, causing losses en the dollar and increases en crypto assets en parallel. A data above the forecasts may cause pressure el digital assets.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
BTC/USDT
In search of direction en Bitcoin! After the macroeconomic data released por the US yesterday, Bitcoin experienced mobility and retreated again after testing 61,100 levels. The reason behind the retreat has started to be wondered por crypto investors. The intensification of transaction activity among Bitcoin whales seems to have a significant impact el short-term price movements. This situation may cause Bitcoin to display an unstable image en search of direction. In addition, reporting outflows totalling $71.73 million from Bitcoin ETFs is another factor behind the decline. Among the events that will affect the price en Bitcoin today, presidential candidate D. Trump, known as pro-crypto, will announce his plan to make the US a cryptocurrency capital, which may create volatility again. In the BTC 4-hora technical analysis, it broke the 59,400 support point downwards and reached the 59,100 level as of now. Pricing below the psychological resistance zone of 60,000 levels may be among the factors that increase sales pressure. With the deepening of the retreat, our next support point is the 58,300 level, and if it breaks, it may bring a journey towards the 56,400 level. In order to see the price recover from the current level of 59,100, we may need to wait for it to consolidate above the 59,400 point.
Supports 59,400 – 58,300 – 56,400
Resistances 60,650 – 61,700 – 62,400
ETH/USDT
Ethereum declined as expected, rejecting the 2,592 level. This decline, where the negative mismatch en the RSI is resolved, may continue until 2,490. The Tenkan level is drawn to 2,577. For the continuation of the positive structure, it is critical to regain 2,550 and then 2,577 levels. The buy signal formed en the hourly CCI points to the 2,550 level when Bitcoin allows. The cleaning of liquidation blocks accumulated at 58,300 levels en Bitcoin can lower the price to 2,450 levels. Especially the positive value of the funding rate strengthens the possibility of this liquidation.
Supports 2,490 – 2,450 – 2,366
Resistances 2,550 – 2,577 – 2,669
LINK/USDT
LINK was affected por the decline en the market and retreated to the main support levels and was able to hold above 11 levels again. The 11.14 level, which is both kijun and trend resistance, stands out as the most critical level. Closures above this level can bring an increase up to 11.32, which is the bollinger middle band and kumo cloud resistance. Gaining these levels seems necessary to regain the positive structure en LINK. As of this morning, breaking the main support of 10.96 may bring a decline to 10.74 levels.
Supports 10.96- 10.74 – 10.53
Resistances 11.14 – 11.32 – 11.80
SOL/USDT
The Core Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index from the USA is among the data to be followed. An unexpected value may increase the volume en the market. In the Solana ecosystem, a central exchange is planning to launch a token en Solana, emphasising the importance of liquid staking en the DeFi economy. This will allow users to stake SOL without losing the liquidity of their tokens. This initiative could attract more users to the DeFi ecosystem por increasing the total locked value (TVL) el Solana. Compared to ETH, it has more native tokens but lacks liquid staking. While almost 65% of Ethereum’s staked ETH is liquid, Solana’s liquid staked tokens are about 6%. However, despite the ongoing bear market conditions en the crypto market, Solana achieved an important milestone por reaching the highest level of the year with 2.3 million daily active users el August 28, according to data from Token Terminal. Looking at the chart, SOL broke the bottom point of the rising triangle formation downwards. SOL, which has been accumulating en a certain band since April, may test support levels of 133.51 – 126.99 if declines continue. If purchases increase en the market, 143.55 – 152.32 resistances should be followed.
Supports 133.51 – 126.99 – 121.20
Resistances 143.55 – 152.32 – 155.92
ADA/USDT
The Core Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index from the USA is among the data to be followed. A value outside the expectation may increase the volume en the market. In Cardano, all eyes are turned to 1 September. Will the hard fork be successful? Intersect underlined that the Chang hard fork is a revolutionary step for the ecosystem and points to Voltaire, the final stage of the network’s decentralisation process. On the other hand, about three months later, Cardano will enter the 2nd Chang upgrade with the approval of the Interim Constitutional Committee (ICC) and Pay Pool Operators (SPOs). This phase will transition the network from technical bootstrapping to active participation. When we look at the chart of ADA, it is priced at 0.3543, supported por the middle level of the descending channel. With the continued rise of ADA, which does not decline much despite the market, 0.3596 – 0.3787 levels can be followed as resistance levels. In the scenario where investors anticipate BTC’s selling pressure to continue, 0.3397 – 0.3206 levels can be followed as support if it continues to be priced en the descending channel.
Supports 0.3397 – 0.3206 – 0.3038
Resistances 0.3596 – 0.3787 – 0.3875
AVAX/USDT
AVAX, which opened yesterday at 23.44, fell approximately 2.5% during the day and closed the day at 22.89.
Today, core personal consumption expenditures price index data will be announced por the US. This data is one of the important data that the FED takes into account en the interest rate cut decision. AVAX, priced at 23.16 before the release of the data, continues to move en a falling channel. On the 4-hora chart, it is trying to move from the middle band of the channel to the upper band and may accelerate its upward movement if the data to be announced is announced slightly below the expectation or expectation. Thus, it can test 23.60 and 24.09 resistances. If it cannot break the 23.60 resistance and sales pressure comes from here, the movement to the lower band of the channel may begin. In this case, it can test 22.79 and 22.23 supports. As long as it stays above 21.48 support during the day, the upward appetite may continue. With the break of 21.48 support, deepening of sales can be expected.
Supports 22.79 – 22.23 – 21.48
Resistances 23.60 – 24.09 – 24.65
TRX/USDT
TRX, which started yesterday at 0.1582, rose slightly and closed the day at 0.1599. TRX, which we expect an increase en its volatility en line with the US core personal consumption expenditures price index data to be announced today, is currently trading at 0.1605. TRX, which moves en a falling channel, is en the upper band of the channel el the 4-hora chart. Its rise may accelerate as it breaks the upper band of the channel. In such a case, it can test 0.1641 and 0.1666 resistances. If it fails to break the upper band, it may decline to the middle band. In this case, it may test the support of 0.1575. If it cannot hold here, it may go down to the lower band of the channel and test the 0.1532 support. TRX can be expected to continue its desire to rise as long as it stays above 0.1482 support. If it breaks this support downwards, sales may deepen.

Resistances 0.1603 – 0.1641 – 0.1666
XRP/USDT
XRP closed the day at 0.5615 with a 1.32% decline yesterday. As seen en the 4-hora analysis, XRP could not continue its uptrend and fell to 0.56.

In case it recovers and starts to rise again, XRP can test the resistance levels of 0.5636 – 0.5748 – 0.5838.
In this process, if the decline continues and declines to the level of 0.55, it may rise with the reactions that may come from here and may offer opportunities for long transactions. In case of a decline below the level of 0.55 and a deepening of the decline, it may offer opportunities en short transactions.
