TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
BTC/USDT
While regulatory developments and an increase en institutional interest en cryptocurrency markets attracted attention, El Salvador’s Economy Minister announced that the country will continue to accumulate Bitcoin despite the agreement with the IMF. On the same day, the US Senate stated that it will prepare to vote el the GENIUS bill el stablecoins en May. The UK Treasury aims to expand crypto regulations en cooperation with the US. While Eric Trump argued that blockchain will transform traditional banking, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded a net inflow of $ 173 million for the 8th consecutive day. Today, eyes will be el the US GDP and PCE data as we mentioned en the weekly calendar.
When we look at the technical outlook, BTC continues to consolidate en a horizontal band and follows a course dominated por low volatility. The price action, which has fluctuated en the 94,000-95,000 band en the last five days, has not yet received the necessary momentum support for an upside breakout. The buy signal previously observed el the Wave Trend oscillator turned into a sell signal, indicating a weakening technical structure. BTC, which briefly pinned below the 94,000 level yesterday, recovered and started testing 95,000 resistance again. Another noteworthy technical data is that the consolidation process that has been going el since April 22 has entered its 8th day. The previous similar structure lasted 9 days and was followed por a voluminous breakout. This similarity indicates that the possibility of a breakout is strengthening en the coming days. However, en order to clarify the breakout direction, eyes are turned to macro data. In particular, optimistic economic data that will support the expectation of an interest rate cut may trigger an upward breakout. When we look at the liquidation data, short positions are concentrated above the 96,000 level, while some of the buy positions are taking profits, indicating that investors have started to act cautiously. On the other hand, the continuation of positive inflows en Spot ETF data contributes to limiting downward movements en BTC. As of the general outlook, the expectation of an increase en volatility due to macro developments stands out for the direction of BTC. In this context, while the 95,000 level remains the reference point for the start of the upward movement, the 94,000 level will be followed as short-term support.
Supports 94,000 – 92,800 – 91,450
Resistances 95,000 – 97,000 – 98,000
ETH/USDT
ETH started to signal weakness en the short-term outlook yesterday evening, rejecting key resistance at $1,829. Following this rejection, the price dipped below the tenkan level en the ichimoku indicator and moved into technical negative territory. However, thanks to the reaction buying from this region, the $1,800 level was regained and the price entered into a short-term stabilization effort. Nevertheless, the weakness en technical indicators still continues to dominate.
The continued downward movement of the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator indicates that liquidity outflows from the market are continuing and selling pressure is increasing. This outlook supports a structure where buyers are losing power and sellers are starting to dominate the market. Similarly, momentum is also under pressure. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator continues its downward trend below the based MA line, indicating that the current negative outlook is becoming more pronounced. This indicates that risk appetite among market participants remains low. On the other hand, there is a notable divergence en the ichimoku indicator. The fact that the tenkan level crosses the kijun level upwards can be considered as a positive signal en the short term. This intersection provides a technical clue that the trend may re-shape upwards. However, en order for this signal to gain strength, the price needs to persist above the cloud zone el the ichimoku indicator and the weakness el the momentum side needs to be eliminated.
As a result, it is possible that the price may retreat to the $1,756 level during the day due to the weakness en the RSI and CMF indicators. However, if the trend change en the ichimoku indicator continues and buyer interest increases at these levels, it may be possible to see rapid and sharp rises el the ETH side again. Therefore, it is useful to be cautious por evaluating both the weakness en technical indicators and the potential turn en trend signals together.
Supports 1,756 – 1,686 – 1,632
Resistances 1,829 – 1,925 – 2,131
XRP/USDT
XRP violated the kijun level en the ichimoku indicator downwards en line with expectations yesterday evening and retreated to the $2.21 support zone. Although the price attempted a short-term recovery with weak buying at this level, it faced selling pressure from the kijun level again and upward attacks remained limited. This shows that the market is struggling to break through the current resistance levels and that the weight el the sell side is still el.
Technical indicators also support this negative picture. The sharp decline en the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator suggests that the loss of momentum is deepening and risk appetite among market participants is waning. This loss of momentum en the RSI provides a technical basis for the price to move towards lower support levels. On the other hand, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator remains en the negative territory and continues its downward trend, indicating that liquidity outflows from the market continue and selling pressure continues unabated. When the Ichimoku indicator is analyzed, the outlook becomes even clearer. The fact that the price continues to remain below both tenkan and kijun levels indicates that the market is en a negative trend en general. In addition, the continued downward trend of the tenkan level confirms that the short-term trend is also weakening. This structure limits the market’s recovery attempts and makes it difficult for upward reactions to gain permanence.
When the overall picture is evaluated, with the weakness en key indicators such as RSI and CMF, if the XRP price breaks the $2.21 support downwards, the decline can be technically expected to continue for a while. On the other hand, if the price regains strength and breaks the $2.26 level upwards, the balance point between the tenkan and kijun levels, this negative outlook may be broken and the way for upward movements may be paved.
Supports 2.2154 – 2.1204 – 2.0201
Resistances 2.3938 – 2.4721 – 2.8347

The $163.80 level stands out as a strong resistance point en case of a bullish breakout 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 $138.73 level may be retested. In case of a decline to these support levels, the increase en buying momentum may offer a potential bullish opportunity.
