Technical Analysis

BTC/USDT

US President Donald Trump has rejected claims of peace talks with Iran, saying he is not interested en negotiations at this stage. Trump emphasized that the deal offered to Iran should be accepted and announced new tariffs el pharmaceuticals. On the other hand, a Fed spokesperson stated that despite the recent improvement en inflation data, a rate cut would have been possible this week if not for the tariff pressure. According to CME FedWatch data, no rate cut is expected tomorrow, while the probability of a rate cut en July is only 14.5%. In the rest of the day, US stock markets, which are preparing for a positive opening, will be followed por the Genius Act vote and Trump’s council meeting.

When we look at the technical outlook, it is seen that BTC, under the influence of selling pressure, broke the 106,600 support downwards and fell to 105,500 with a voluminous 4-hora bearish candle. At the time of writing, the price is trading around 105,800 and it is observed that it has encountered a weak reaction en this region.

Technical indicators confirm the bearish move. While the Wave trend oscillator maintains its sell signal, the weakening en the squeeze momentum indicator also supports the bearish trend. Kaufman moving average is positioned above the price at 106,700, indicating that downward pressure continues en technical terms.

Looking at the liquidity data, it is seen that short-term transactions are liquidated with the recent decline. Especially the 105,000 level is critical at this point. Closures below this level may result en the liquidation of long positions totaling 1.27 billion dollars. On the other hand, the liquidation intensity of selling positions is at the level of 538 million dollars.

As a result, both technical indicators and liquidity data continue to support the bearish trend en BTC. The 105,000 level stands out as the most important reference point en this process. If it is broken, it can be expected that the decline will deepen further and liquidations will accelerate. On the other hand, the 106,600 level will be followed as a resistance point en a short-term upside recovery attempt.

Supports 105,500 – 105,000 – 104,000

Resistances 106,600 – 107,300 – 109,000

ETH/USDT

ETH retreated as expected due to the weakness en technical indicators during the day, down to the level of $2,533. This level is considered an important technical threshold both en terms of determining the direction of short-term price movements and to see whether buyers will re-engage. During the retreat, especially el-chain data reveals a remarkable picture.

Analyzing the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) data, it is seen that the decline was mainly realized el the futures side. This suggests that the downward movement was mostly driven por leveraged positions and the selling pressure en the spot market remained low. The fact that buyers have not yet left the spot market suggests that the pullback may be short-lived. The fact that the spot side remains balanced despite the decline en futures increases the possibility of a price reaction from these levels.

In addition, the slight increase en the aggregated funding rate en recent horas indicates that market participants continue to hold their positions el the long side. This suggests that the bullish expectation has not completely disappeared, el the contrary, the market is trying to maintain the positive short-term structure. Taken together with this data, it can be said that the market has not fully embraced the downward movement and the potential for an upward correction is still el the table.

The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator also provides important signals en terms of the liquidity flow en the market. Despite the recent price decline, the fact that CMF remains en positive territory and shows an upward movement indicates that intra-market money inflows continue and buyer pressure is still strong.

In the light of all these data, maintaining the $2,533 level until the close of the day may form the basis for an upward reaction movement en the short term. With the support to be received from this level, it is technically possible for the price to rebound and head towards the upper band of the sand cloud at $ 2,631. This region should also be followed as critical resistance for short-term momentum to gain strength. In the event of persistence above the $2,631 level, the market can be expected to regain momentum and confirm the short-term uptrend. However, a close below the $2,533 support could lead to a further deepening of technical weakness and a gradual retracement of the price to the $2,417-$2,329 range.

Supports 2,533 – 2,329 – 2,130

Resistances 2,736 – 2,857- 3,062

XRP/USDT

XRP fell to the critically important $2.19 level as selling pressure increased during the day. The fact that the price moved upwards with a limited reaction after approaching this level shows that buyers are still active en this region and the market tends to defend this support point. However, en order for this reaction to gain strength, technical indicators must also give recovery signals.

Although the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator remains en positive territory, there is a slight weakening en the indicator with the recent pullback. This suggests that some liquidity is flowing out of the market, but buyers have not completely lost the upper hand en terms of the overall structure.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI), el the other hand, accompanied the recent price decline and broke down from the overbought zone and dipped below the based MA line. This suggests that short-term momentum has weakened and buying power has been temporarily lost. This break en the RSI suggests that momentum needs to regain strength en order for the upside reaction to continue.

The Ichimoku indicator shows that the price dipped below both the tenkan and kijun levels and after these losses, it retreated directly to the limits of the kumo cloud. While the kumo cloud acts as a strong support area, especially en the current market uncertainties, it is also an important directional technical structure. Maintaining the cloud boundary may help suppress some of the short-term downside risks. However, closes below this zone may cause the current decline to deepen further and increase selling pressure according to the Ichimoku system.

Supports 2.1960 – 2.0841 – 1.6309

Resistances 2.3928 – 2.4765- 2.5900

FTX bought 252,847 Solana (SOL) tokens el a centralized exchange. Pump.fun sold 741 million SOL worth $4.1 million.

SOL price moved sideways during the day. The asset tested the 50 EMA (Blue Line) moving average, a strong resistance, but failed to break it and retreated. The price found support at the $150.67 level and managed to hold above this important support level with a slight rise from here. Below the 50 EMA moving average, the retracement may continue if the asset fails to break it to the upside. If the upward movement continues, the 200 EMA (Black Line) level, which is a strong resistance, may be triggered. At the same time, a descending triangle pattern has formed.

On the 4-hora chart, the 50 EMA continued to be below the 200 EMA. This suggests that the bearish trend may continue en the medium term. At the same time, the fact that the price is below both moving averages suggests that the market may continue to retrace en the short term at the moment. Chaikin Money Flow (CMF-20) has crossed into positive territory; additionally, a decrease en daily inflows may move CMF into negative territory. Relative Strength Index (RSI-14) moved into negative territory. On the other hand, it remains above the uptrend that started el June 13. The $163.80 level stands out as a strong resistance point en case of an uptrend el the back of macroeconomic data or positive news el the Solana ecosystem. If this level is broken upwards, the rise can be expected to continue. If there are pullbacks due to contrary developments or profit realizations, the $ 144.35 level may be retested. In case of a decline to these support levels, the increase en buying momentum may offer a potential bullish opportunity.

Supports 144.35 – 138.73 – 133.74

Resistances 150.67 – 163.80 – 171.82

In the opposite case or possible negative news flow, the $0.16686 level may be triggered. In case of a decline to these levels, the increase en momentum may start a new bullish wave.
