Ethereum (ETH) Daily AnalysisDespite the selling pressure of recent days, Ethereum has once again managed to defend the $2,385 support. Currently, the price is trading around $2,484, and in the technical outlook, recovery signals are increasingly strengthening. Especially the preservation of this area after the break of the downtrend indicates that the upward structure is still valid.$2,385 has been an important reversal area since March. The price has received a clear reaction from this level three times. This shows that buyers are seriously defending this area. With the reaction coming from here, ETH tends to head again towards the $2,711 resistance. If this level is broken with volume, the $2,838 and $3,004 levels successively appear as targets. Especially closings above $3,004 can enable the medium-term upward trend to gain momentum again.Technically important levels:Supports: $2,385, $2,098, and $2,004Resistances: $2,711, $2,838, and $3,004On the fundamental side, the picture is complex but not entirely negative:ETF Process: Ethereum spot ETF applications are still under SEC review. Although the delays may seem negative, in the event of a positive outcome, there may be significant fund inflows into ETH.Musk–Trump Tension: Musk's taking a clear position against political pressure and Trump's statements have created short-term stress in technology and crypto-focused investments. However, the impact of this is more dominant on BTC; the ETH side remains relatively more resilient.On-Chain Activity: Although gas fees remain low, transaction volume is slowly recovering with Layer-2 solutions. There is also stability on the staking side after ETH 2.0.As a result, Ethereum has technically recovered from a strong support and is creating space for upward attempts. Although short-term uncertainties persist, both the technical structure and fundamental developments support a move towards above $2,711. However, a clear development may be necessary to surpass this level.In summary:ETH received a strong reaction from the $2,385 support.Closings above $2,711 may accelerate upward momentum.ETF expectation and chain recovery support the positive scenario.The market is currently waiting for a clear breakout; the positive structure is preserved but resistance levels must be surpassed for confirmation.

Let’s analyze the overall market conditions together and review the latest insights.Bitcoin (BTC), after starting its long-term uptrend at $75,930 and reaching an all-time high (ATH) of $111,980, faced strong profit-taking. The downward break of the ascending channel on the 4-hour chart, followed by the loss of the $104,977 support, pushed the price quickly down to around $101,150. This drop, accompanied by high-volume selling across the last four candles, signals more than a mere technical breakdown—it indicates a decisive wave of selling. Additionally, the political tension between U.S. President Trump and Elon Musk has increased market uncertainty, further supporting the bearish pressure.BTC is currently trading around $103,200, with the $101,059–$100,063 range standing out as a strong support zone. This area previously attracted buying interest and is once again showing signs of buyer re-entry. If this zone fails to hold, the next levels to watch are $96,914 and $96,115. On short-term recoveries, the $102,137 and especially the $104,977 levels should be monitored as resistance. As long as these levels remain unbroken, upward moves are likely to stay limited. However, the price has shown a notable reaction from the current support zone, increasing the probability of a short-term rebound.Ethereum (ETH) tested $3,004 after climbing from $1,486, but has since entered a correction and is now trading at $2,460. Technically, the $2,385 level acted as critical support and sparked a significant bounce, though price action remains close to this zone. If this support fails, $2,098 and $2,004 are the next levels to follow.For bullish momentum to resume, ETH must break above the $2,711 resistance. If this level is cleared, targets include $2,838 and $3,004. Like BTC, ETH has also seen a meaningful bounce from support. Sustaining above $2,385 is essential to maintain the positive outlook.Crypto NewsThe European Central Bank (ECB) implemented a 25bp rate cut.Chinese state media reported a conversation between President Trump and President Xi.BounceBit added support for $USD1, the stablecoin of World Liberty Financial.Circle, issuer of USDC, saw its stock surge 200%, rising from its $31 IPO price to $94.41.Uber is reportedly exploring the use of stablecoins as a payment method.World Liberty Financial sent a cease and desist notice to Fight Fight Fight LLC, the issuer of the Trump memecoin.Truth Social registered Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in Nevada.Tesla lost $150 billion in market cap, marking the biggest loss in the company’s history.Top Gainers in CryptoFARTCOIN → Up 15.6% to $1.04COMP → Up 12.9% to $49.36LA → Up 6.1% to $1.54GRASS → Up 4.5% to $1.99KTA → Up 4.4% to $1.08Top Losers in CryptoRVN → Down 34.6% to $0.01458774LDO → Down 11.3% to $0.7718249TRUMP → Down 10.4% to $9.72JUP → Down 9.6% to $0.46357394DOG → Down 9.1% to $0.00425333Fear IndexBitcoin: 51Ethereum: 41DominanceBitcoin: 64.56% ▲ 0.01%Ethereum: 9.35% ▲ 0.24%Daily Net ETF FlowsBTC ETFs: -$278.40 millionETH ETFs: $11.30 millionKey Economic Data to Watch Today15:30 – Average Hourly Earnings (MoM) (May)Forecast: 0.3% / Previous: 0.2%15:30 – Non-Farm Payrolls (May)Forecast: 126K / Previous: 177K15:30 – Unemployment Rate (May)Forecast: 4.2% / Previous: 4.2%Global MarketsAs of the morning of Friday, June 6, 2025, global markets are preparing to end the week with cautious optimism. The resumption of high-level trade talks between the U.S. and China has supported global risk appetite, though weak economic data and political tensions are keeping investors cautious.U.S. stock markets have shown a volatile trend. Tesla shares fell sharply after Donald Trump criticized Elon Musk. Trump's statement that he may cancel government contracts with Musk’s companies increased selling pressure on tech stocks. Following this, the Nasdaq declined, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones ended the day with slight losses.On the macro front, weak data stood out. The ADP private sector employment report showed an increase of only 37,000 jobs in May—the lowest since March 2023. Meanwhile, the ISM services PMI fell to 49.9, signaling contraction in the services sector. These indicators suggest a deepening slowdown in the U.S. economy.In Europe, the ECB delivered its eighth rate cut of the year. However, the Eurozone services PMI also dropped to 49.7 in May, reinforcing signs of ongoing economic weakness in the region.Asian markets are performing more positively. China’s services PMI exceeded expectations, boosting buying appetite, especially in the Hong Kong and Japanese markets. Regional markets began the final trading day of the week on a strong note.Meanwhile, the OECD revised its global economic growth forecasts downward. Growth expectations for both 2025 and 2026 have been updated to 2.9%. The report cited uncertainty in trade policy, tightening financial conditions, weakening consumer confidence, and rising political risks as serious threats to growth.Today, global market attention will focus on the U.S. non-farm payrolls data. A weaker-than-expected figure could strengthen expectations for an earlier rate cut by the Fed. However, continued geopolitical tensions and weak economic indicators suggest cautious market sentiment will persist.Most Valuable Companies and Stock PricesMicrosoft (MSFT) → $3.48 trillion market cap, $467.68 per share, +0.82%NVIDIA (NVDA) → $3.42 trillion market cap, $139.99 per share, -1.36%Apple (AAPL) → $3 trillion market cap, $200.63 per share, -1.08%Amazon (AMZN) → $2.21 trillion market cap, $207.91 per share, +0.33%Alphabet (GOOG) → $2.05 trillion market cap, $169.81 per share, +0.25%Precious Metals and Exchange RatesGold: 4,245 TLSilver: 45.66 TLPlatinum: 1,475 TLUSD: 39.29 TLEUR: 44.91 TLSee you again tomorrow with more market updates!

You can find today’s edition of “Daily Market with JrKripto,” where we compile the most important developments in global and local markets, below. Let’s analyze the overall market conditions together and review the latest insights.Bitcoin (BTC) extended its long-term uptrend from $75,930 to reach an all-time high (ATH) of $111,980. Following this peak, it pulled back due to profit-taking and is currently trading around $105,000. On the technical side, $104,629 stands out as the first major support level. If this area is breached, $101,059 and then $96,115 should be monitored as the next support zones. For the upward recovery to gain traction, it is critical for BTC to surpass the $109,588 resistance. If this resistance is broken, $111,980 and then $114,500 may be targeted once again. Maintaining price action above $104,629 is important to preserve the positive trend.Ethereum (ETH), after starting a strong rally from $1,486 and reaching a peak of $3,004, has entered a correction phase and is currently trading at $2,620. The price holding above the $2,385 support level is helping to limit selling pressure; however, if this level is breached, $2,098 and $2,004 will become the next support zones. For the upward momentum to continue, ETH must break the $2,711 resistance level. Once this is achieved, the targets will be $2,838 and $3,004. The continuation of the positive outlook for ETH hinges on its ability to remain above $2,385.Crypto NewsFed member Bostic said a rate cut this year may be possible depending on the state of the economy.Treasury Secretary Bessent said it’s up to China to decide whether it wants to be a reliable partner.North America-based civil engineering firm SolarBank adopted a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.Trump is set to launch a branded crypto wallet and trading app encouraging supporters to buy memecoins and other crypto assets.Magic Eden’s $ME partnered with Trump Wallet.Top GainersCOMP → Up 15.2% to $47.60BORG → Up 15.1% to $0.20837302ZBCN → Up 11.2% to $0.0052459ATH → Up 10.6% to $0.05030066APE → Up 9.3% to $0.74851906Top LosersKAITO → Down 9.7% to $1.71POPCAT → Down 9.1% to $0.37289158IOTX → Down 7.6% to $0.02169712FARTCOIN → Down 7.5% to $1.05PENGU → Down 6.8% to $0.01021654Fear IndexBitcoin: 63Ethereum: 54DominanceBitcoin: 63.99% ▼ 0.27%Ethereum: 9.71% ▲ 1.18%Daily Net ETF FlowsBTC ETFs: $375.10 millionETH ETFs: $109.50 millionKey Data to Watch Today15:15 – ADP Non-Farm Employment Change (May)Forecast: 111K / Previous: 60K16:45 – Services Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) (May)Forecast: 52.3 / Previous: 50.817:00 – ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI (May)Forecast: 52.0 / Previous: 51.617:00 – Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) (April)Forecast: 7.110M / Previous: 7.192M17:30 – EIA Crude Oil InventoriesForecast: -2.900M / Previous: -2.795MGlobal MarketsGlobal stock markets are starting the day on an optimistic note. Expectations for high-level negotiations between the US and China have boosted risk appetite. US stock markets continued to rally, led by tech stocks, with the Nasdaq Index turning positive year-to-date. Yesterday, the Nasdaq rose 0.81%, the S&P 500 increased by 0.58%, and the Dow Jones added 0.51%, all closing in positive territory. The small-cap Russell 2000 Index gained 1.59%, supported by strong performances in regional banks and biotech stocks.Eight of the eleven sectors in the S&P 500 ended the day in the green. The technology sector performed best with a 1.48% gain, followed by energy (1.11%), materials (0.97%), and industrials (0.76%). On the other hand, telecommunications (-0.75%), real estate (-0.39%), and consumer staples (-0.15%) underperformed.On the macroeconomic front, the JOLTS job openings for April came in at 7.40 million, beating expectations of 7.11 million. However, factory orders shrank by 3.7%, exceeding the expected 3.1% decline. Today, the market focus is on the US ADP private sector employment data and the ISM services PMI. The ISM services index rose to 51.6 in April and is expected to increase slightly to 52 in May. Asian markets opened on a positive note, and European markets are also expected to open higher.Meanwhile, the OECD revised its “Global Economic Outlook” downward. The global growth forecast for 2025 was lowered from 3.1% to 2.9%, and the 2026 forecast from 3.0% to 2.9%. The US growth forecast for this year was cut from 2.2% to 1.6%, and the 2026 forecast from 1.6% to 1.5%. The report highlighted that uncertainties in trade policy, tight financial conditions, weakening consumer and business confidence, and rising political risks pose major threats to growth. New tariffs could increase trade costs and fuel inflation, although falling commodity prices might partially offset this.Growth forecasts for Turkey were also revised downward. The OECD cut Turkey’s 2025 growth forecast from 3.1% to 2.9%, and its 2026 forecast from 3.9% to 3.3%. Today, key international data include the US ISM services report, ADP employment report, and Eurozone Services PMI—all closely watched by markets.Top Companies by Market Cap and Stock PricesNVIDIA (NVDA) → $3.45 trillion market cap, $141.22 per share, +2.80%Microsoft (MSFT) → $3.44 trillion market cap, $462.97 per share, +0.22%Apple (AAPL) → $3.04 trillion market cap, $203.27 per share, +0.78%Amazon (AMZN) → $2.18 trillion market cap, $205.71 per share, -0.45%Alphabet (GOOG) → $2.02 trillion market cap, $167.71 per share, -1.56%Borsa IstanbulDomestically, the May CPI came in at 1.53% monthly—closer to our forecast (1.8%) and well below the market expectation (around 2.1%). This result aligns with the Central Bank’s inflation trajectory as outlined in its latest Inflation Report. Consequently, annual inflation dropped 2.5 points from the previous month to 35.4%. Our seasonally adjusted monthly inflation came in at 1.7%, showing about a 1-point improvement from April. Core inflation indicators also declined significantly: the B index annual inflation fell to 34.8%, and the C index to 35.4%. These developments signal continued downward momentum in inflation and improving pricing behavior, though a cautious stance remains warranted.Lower-than-expected inflation has increased the likelihood of a rate cut at the June Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting. This triggered strong buying in banking stocks; yesterday the banking index rose by an average of 5.7%, and the BIST 100 gained 3.0%, closing at 9,277 points. Since the banking sector has underperformed the benchmark index by about 6% year-to-date, it may continue to recover this gap amid rate cut expectations. Additionally, pre-holiday settlement advantages also contributed to yesterday’s strong gains. Market attention is now turning to the June 19 MPC meeting.Technically, the BIST 100 showed a strong rebound after the previous two-day decline, recovering just below the support level. The 9,148–8,965 range remains a key support zone. If the index continues to trade above this band, a move toward 9,475–9,500 could be seen. The 9,325 level serves as interim resistance, and a close above 9,475/9,500 would signal short-term optimism, potentially targeting the 9,740–9,770 resistance area next. Key technical support levels for BIST 100 are 9,148/9,044, 8,965, 8,870, and 8,611; resistance levels are 9,325, 9,475/9,500, 9,588, and 9,740.Overall, a balanced sectoral performance with a continued upward trend is expected in Borsa Istanbul today.Top Companies by Market Cap in Borsa IstanbulQNB Finansbank (QNBTR) → 860.11 billion TL market cap, 260.25 TL/share, +1.36%Aselsan Electronic Industry (ASELS) → 581.86 billion TL market cap, 131.80 TL/share, +3.29%Garanti Bank (GARAN) → 478.8 billion TL market cap, 114.80 TL/share, +0.70%Turkish Airlines (THYAO) → 391.57 billion TL market cap, 284.75 TL/share, +0.35%Koç Holding A.Ş.

ETH Short Term Technical AnalysisEthereum has returned to the ascending channel structure. In the previous analysis, the channel subband was broken and the technical pressure was prominent. However, the price both received a clear reaction from the $ 2,467 level and re-entered the channel with strong volume. It is currently trading at $2,619 and the outlook has improved compared to the previous analysis. ETH Rising Channel The return to the channel is technically positive. Such returns, especially if they come with strong volume, indicate that buyers are taking back control. The $2,595 -$2,565 zone is now working as support. If this region is protected, it can be expected that the upward movement will continue.If the rise continues, the first resistance to be considered is $ 2,660. If this is exceeded, the levels of $ 2,717 and $2,788 become the target in the short term. Especially the closures above $ 2,717 can move the price towards the upper band of the channel. That area also corresponds to approximately $2,840 levels.The December range of $2,595 –$2,565 below is the first line of defense. If this zone is lost, the probability that the price will move back to the support of $ 2,467 increases. But for the moment, the movement within the channel indicates that the bearish scenario is weakening.In summary, Ethereum seems to have ended the decline in the short term. As long as in-channel pricing continues, the technical outlook remains positive. If strong buyer interest continues in this region, the $2,660, $2,717 and $2,788 levels may be tested gradually. If it is below $ 2,595, closures below require being cautious again.

Meanwhile, there was selling pressure in the bond market and the US Dollar Index.Rising geopolitical risks, especially the renewed Russia-Ukraine conflict, have pushed investors toward safe-haven assets like gold and silver. Concerns over Russian oil supply also pushed oil prices higher. Seven of the eleven sectors in the S&P 500 posted gains. The healthcare sector (+0.96%) and consumer staples (+0.42%) performed best, while the energy sector lagged behind with a 1.55% loss.The US ISM Manufacturing PMI for May confirmed a slowdown in the economy, falling to 48.5—below the expected 49.5—and remained in contraction territory for the third straight month. Although there was a partial recovery in production and employment components, overall contraction persists. Business leaders noted that tariffs and uncertainty are negatively impacting foreign orders.Meanwhile, positive signals about potential rate cuts have started to emerge from Fed officials. After Governor Waller, Chicago Fed President Goolsbee also stated that a rate cut could be considered if tariff-related uncertainties are resolved.In China, signs of economic slowdown are becoming more apparent. The Caixin Manufacturing PMI dropped to 48.3, well below expectations and the lowest level since September 2022.

The Istanbul Chamber of Industry’s Turkey Manufacturing PMI came in at 47.2 in May, close to the two-month average, signaling weak domestic and external demand in the manufacturing sector. The stagnation in demand negatively impacted production, employment, and firms’ input purchases, while supplier delivery times continued to shorten. Although exchange rate volatility eased compared to the previous month, it still pressures production costs.According to provisional foreign trade data from the Ministry of Trade, exports in May rose 2.7% year-on-year to $24.8 billion, while imports increased by 2.1% to $31.3 billion. The trade deficit remained steady at $6.5 billion. Seasonally and calendar-adjusted data suggest that the deterioration seen in April was temporary and there was a recovery in the trade balance in May.In consumer sentiment, Bloomberg HT’s Consumer Confidence Index rose by 0.2% to 72.36 in May. Today’s inflation figures from TURKSTAT will clarify May’s inflation outlook. In April, inflation stood at 3.0% monthly and 37.86% annually. Our expectation for May is a 1.8% monthly increase and 35.8% annually. However, market consensus expects monthly inflation to exceed 2%.The BIST-100 index continues to move sideways around the 9,000 level. After sharp declines in banking stocks last Friday, there was a rebound yesterday, with the banking index rising 1.5%, helping the BIST-100 stay above the critical 9,000 mark. According to data released yesterday by the BRSA, the banking sector saw a decline in profitability in April due to rising interest rates. Today’s inflation data will be key for the markets. Additionally, with the upcoming holiday break, investor appetite may increase due to settlement advantages, suggesting a limited upward movement in Borsa Istanbul today.Most Valuable Companies in Borsa IstanbulQNB Finansbank (QNBTR) → 856.76 billion TL market cap, 255.75 TL/share, 0.00% changeAselsan Electronic Industry (ASELS) → 589.61 billion TL market cap, 128.40 TL/share, -0.70%Garanti Bank (GARAN) → 452.76 billion TL market cap, 116.30 TL/share, +7.88%Turkish Airlines (THYAO) → 380.54 billion TL market cap, 282.00 TL/share, +2.27%Koç Holding A.Ş.

Ethereum (ETH) Technical Analysis – 4-Hour ChartOn the 4-hour chart, Ethereum (ETH) has broken below the lower boundary of the ascending channel. Following the breakdown, the price is attempting to hold around the $2,488 level. However, this area lies below the former channel support and carries the risk of turning into a horizontal resistance zone. There is an attempt to re-enter the channel with increasing volume; if successful, the price may once again test the upper boundary of the channel. ETH Rising Channel The $2,467 level stands out as the initial support area. If this zone is broken, the price may decline further toward the $2,416 and $2,315 levels. Notably, the $2,272–$2,290 range was a previous area where buying reactions emerged. Therefore, short-term buyers may step in if the price pulls back to this zone. However, if this area is also lost, the $2,181 support level could come into focus.On the upside, the first resistance zone to watch is the $2,565–$2,595 range. This area could generate strong selling pressure. However, if the price breaks this zone with high volume and maintains stability above $2,500, the upward movement could gain momentum. In this case, the $2,800 level would become the next target, followed by $3,000. Particularly, closing above $2,595 would indicate a shift back in favor of the buyers.Looking at the overall structure, technical pressure has increased in the short term. With the breakdown of the ascending channel, price movements have become more cautious. While the medium-to-long-term bullish outlook is not completely invalidated, there is currently no clear buyer dominance in the market. Supports are being tested one by one, and the price is seeking direction through reactions.

Let’s analyze the general market conditions together and take a look at the latest evaluations.Bitcoin (BTC) started its upward trend from the $75,930 level and carried it to an all-time high (ATH) at $111,980, then pulled back due to profit-taking and is currently trading at $104,671. In the technical outlook, the $104,629 level is being followed as the first support, while below this level, support levels are located at $101,059 and $96,115. For the upward movement to regain strength, the $109,588 level needs to be surpassed. If it can stay above this resistance, $111,980 and $114,500 may be targeted.Ethereum (ETH), on the other hand, extended its upward movement from the $1,486 level to $3,004, then pulled back to $2,481 with the subsequent correction. Technically, the $2,385 level is an important support. Below this level, there are support levels at $2,098 and $2,004. For the continuation of the upward movement, the $2,711 resistance needs to be surpassed. Once this level is broken, the $2,838 and $3,004 levels may become targets again.

However, they managed to recover most of their losses by the end of the day. This rebound was driven by lower-than-expected April personal consumption expenditures (PCE) data and positive results in the University of Michigan consumer confidence survey.According to PCE inflation data, annual headline inflation dropped to 2.1%, and core PCE inflation, excluding food and energy, fell to 2.5%—the lowest since February 2021. Monthly inflation stood at 0.1%, in line with expectations. While service prices saw limited increases, the downward trend in goods prices ended with a 0.1% rise. The rise in disposable income was driven by social security payments.As a result, the S&P 500 index closed flat with a marginal 0.01% drop, the Nasdaq declined by 0.32%, and the Dow Jones rose by 0.13%. Eight of the 11 sectors in the S&P 500 closed higher, with consumer staples and utilities leading gains, while energy, consumer discretionary, and tech sectors declined.As the new week begins, trade tensions between the U.S. and China continue to escalate. China rejected Trump’s accusations and argued that the U.S. was the one violating the agreement. These developments created selling pressure in Asian markets and U.S. futures, and European markets are also expected to open lower.Meanwhile, expectations regarding the Federal Reserve’s interest rate policy have shifted slightly. While tariff policies may exert upward pressure on inflation, markets are now pricing in a total of 50 basis points in rate cuts for September and December.The University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index for May was revised upward from the previous estimate of 50.8 to 52.2, marking a pause in the four-month decline. The index is still 24% lower than the same period last year. Short-term inflation expectations rose slightly to 6.6%, while 5-year long-term expectations declined from 4.4% to 4.2%.On the Chinese side, economic data signaled a recovery. The manufacturing PMI rose from 49.0 to 49.5 in May, slowing the contraction. The non-manufacturing PMI, covering services and construction, came in at 50.3, just above the growth threshold.Most Valuable Companies and Stock PricesMicrosoft (MSFT) → $3.42 Trillion market cap, $460.36 per share, up 0.37%NVIDIA (NVDA) → $3.3 Trillion market cap, $135.13 per share, down 2.92%Apple (AAPL) → $3 Trillion market cap, $200.85 per share, up 0.45%Amazon (AMZN) → $2.18 Trillion market cap, $205.01 per share, down 0.34%Alphabet (GOOG) → $2.09 Trillion market cap, $172.85 per share, down 0.06%Borsa Istanbul (BIST)In Q1 2025, the Turkish economy grew by 2% compared to the same period last year, and 1% on a quarterly basis. This growth was slightly below market expectations of 2.5% and the institutional forecast of 2.3%. The main driver was household consumption. Thanks to favorable credit conditions before the interest rate hike, consumption increased by 2% annually, contributing 1.6 percentage points to growth. Public spending rose by 1.2%, adding 0.2 points, and investments (fixed capital formation) grew by 2.1%, also contributing 0.2 points. However, while exports remained flat, a 3% rise in imports pulled growth down by 0.6 points. Growth was sustained by domestic demand in Q1, but this momentum is expected to weaken in Q2. We believe there are increasing downside risks to our 2025 growth forecast of 3.1%, and that growth may fall below 3%.In the labor market, negative developments were seen. In April, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose from 8% to 8.6%, the highest since November 2024. The broader underemployment rate hit a record high, rising from 28.8% to 32.2%. The combined rate of time-related underemployment and unemployment rose to 22.5%, while the rate of unemployed and potential labor force remained at 20%. This sharp increase is thought to be partly due to temporary unemployment of daily wage workers during the holiday period.Price increases also continued. According to Istanbul Chamber of Commerce data, retail prices rose by 2.83% monthly and 46.57% annually in May. According to TÜRK-İŞ, the hunger threshold increased by 4.39% to 25,092 TL in May. The Ministry of Treasury and Finance will make domestic debt payments totaling 581.6 billion TL between June and August. In June, a borrowing of 278.9 billion TL is planned against payments of 265.6 billion TL.The Financial Stability Report published by the Central Bank indicated a shift in commercial loans in favor of TRY since March. Due to high commercial loan interest rates, credit growth is expected to remain moderate, and firms’ financial positions are generally considered manageable.Last week’s decline in Borsa Istanbul was driven especially by selling in banking stocks. The BIST-100 index dropped below 9,000 points during the session but closed slightly above that level. The Capital Markets Board (SPK) extended regulations on short selling bans, share buybacks, and margin trading until July 4. These measures are expected to provide short-term support to the market. However, due to settlement advantages during the holiday, some investors may still opt to sell. Tomorrow’s inflation data from TURKSTAT will be important; market expectation is around 2% monthly. The BIST-100 is expected to start the week with a flat movement above 9,000 points.Most Valuable Companies on Borsa IstanbulQNB Finansbank (QNBTR) → 867.65 Billion TL market cap, 258.50 TL per share, down 0.19%Aselsan Elektronik Sanayi (ASELS) → 590.98 Billion TL market cap, 130.00 TL per share, up 0.31%Türkiye Garanti Bankası (GARAN) → 444.78 Billion TL market cap, 107.70 TL per share, up 1.70%Türk Hava Yolları (THYAO) → 377.08 Billion TL market cap, 273.25 TL per share, no changeKoç Holding A.Ş.

A Major Move Elevates Institutional Interest in Crypto: SharpLink Gaming Files for $1 Billion Public Offering to Acquire EthereumAn important development has taken institutional interest in crypto to a new level. SharpLink Gaming has filed for a $1 billion public offering with the aim of integrating Ethereum into its corporate treasury. This move is part of the company’s strategy to solidify its blockchain-based financial approach and position Ethereum as a corporate reserve asset.Objective: A Digital Capital Structure with EthereumU.S.-based SharpLink announced that it has filed a “Shelf Offering” registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), with plans to gradually release over 72 million shares to the market. A significant portion of the funds raised from this offering will be used to purchase Ethereum (ETH). The remainder will cover operational expenses, marketing activities, and general corporate costs.With this step, SharpLink aims to make Ethereum its primary reserve asset and transform its capital structure into a blockchain-based model. The company had previously announced this initiative under the title “Ether Treasury Strategy” on May 27.A Strong Reaction from the Ethereum CommunitySharpLink’s strategic move resonated widely within the Ethereum community. In the days following the announcement, the company’s stock price surged by approximately 2,700%, and its market capitalization grew elevenfold. Analysts compared the move to MicroStrategy’s investment in Bitcoin. Some crypto analysts even remarked, “Ethereum now has its own Saylor.” Prominent ETH advocate Anthony Sassano supported the strategy with the phrase, “You’re not bullish enough.”The Joseph Lubin Effect: Ethereum Confidence at the Leadership LevelSharpLink Gaming’s commitment to Ethereum goes beyond investment. The company has appointed Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin as chairman of the board. This appointment signals that the strategy is being embraced at the highest leadership level. Lubin’s blockchain vision and credibility in the industry are seen as strong confidence signals for investors.Earlier, a $435 Million Ethereum Purchase Was MadeJust a week before this development, SharpLink Gaming had already made a $435 million Ethereum purchase. With this new public offering filing, the company plans to significantly expand its ETH reserves.

Ethereum – 4-Hour Chart Short-Term Technical Analysis (May 30, 2025)Ethereum is moving within an ascending parallel channel. At the moment, it has touched the lower boundary of the channel at $2,540, which acts as a significant short-term support.Key Technical Levels:Supports:$2,540 (Channel lower boundary and horizontal support)$2,467$2,397Resistances:$2,566 (Short-term horizontal resistance)$2,632$2,788 (Channel upper boundary)Technical Pattern:Ascending Channel: Price continues to move within the channel. The recent approach to the lower band increases the likelihood of a short-term bounce.Horizontal Consolidation: There is a range-bound movement between $2,540 and $2,630. A breakout from this range will determine the short-term trend direction. ETH Short Term ETH is currently attempting to hold above the support line. If it maintains support above $2,540, an upward move toward $2,632 and $2,788 could be expected. However, if it fails to hold above $2,540, a pullback toward $2,467 and lower support levels may occur. The breakout direction will be key in determining the short-term trend.

You can find today’s “Daily Market Update with JrKripto,” where we’ve compiled the most important developments from global and local markets, below. Let’s analyze the general market conditions together and review the latest updates.Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $105,400. The long-term uptrend that began at $75,930 gained momentum after breaking through the resistance levels at $101,059 and $104,000, eventually reaching an all-time high (ATH) of $111,880. However, following profit-taking at this peak, BTC has broken below the $108,000 support level and is currently trading below it. This pullback signals a short-term bearish outlook, with $104,629 serving as intermediate support and $101,059 as a stronger support zone. In potential upward recoveries, the first resistance lies again at $108,000. If this level is breached, $111,000 and subsequently $114,500 could be targeted. However, to maintain its upward trend, it is critical for BTC to establish support above the $108,000 level.Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading at $2,610. The upward movement that began at $1,486 pushed the price above resistance levels at $2,453 and $2,595, reaching as high as $2,720. However, selling pressure from this region has dragged ETH back below the $2,595 level. The current price action points to a short-term correction. If the downward movement continues, $2,453 and $2,095 will serve as support levels. In case of upward recovery, $2,595 is once again the initial resistance. If surpassed, the next potential targets would be $2,800 and $2,981. For ETH’s positive outlook to regain strength, maintaining support above $2,595 is crucial.Crypto NewsBybit has obtained a MiCA license in Austria.Telegram raised $1.7 billion through convertible bonds to repay existing debt.Fed member Goolsbee: If tariffs are avoided through a deal or otherwise, we could return to a rate-cutting scenario.Bitcoin treasury firm Twenty One, backed by Tether, raised its total funding to $685 million following a second bond sale.White House: Trump told the Fed chair that not cutting rates is a mistake.The SEC Crypto Task Force met with Payward to discuss tokenization of traditional assets and staking services.SEC has dropped its lawsuit against Binance.Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Reform Party, will introduce a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill.Top Gainers:LPT → Up 86.7% to $10.45VENOM → Up 16.7% to $0.12698581SAFE → Up 13.0% to $0.67709936DEXE → Up 12.6% to $14.10ZBCN → Up 12.0% to $0.00621744Top Losers:PNUT → Down 20.6% to $0.27233779SYRUP → Down 16.9% to $0.34540183MOG → Down 16.2% to $0.00000101OM → Down 16.0% to $0.32981439DOG → Down 15.8% to $0.00441292Fear Index:Bitcoin: 66Ethereum: 60Dominance:Bitcoin: 63.96% ▲ 0.40%Ethereum: 9.64% ▼ 0.07%Daily Net ETF Flows:BTC ETFs: -$346.80 MillionETH ETFs: $91.90 MillionKey Economic Data to Watch Today:15:30 – Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index (YoY, April)Forecast: 2.5%Previous: 2.6%15:30 – Core PCE Price Index (MoM, April)Forecast: 0.1%Previous: 0.0%Global MarketsU.S. stock indices opened strong thanks to Nvidia’s solid financial results and the U.S. International Trade Court’s decision to block tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. However, profit-taking occurred during the day after a federal appeals court temporarily halted this decision. Still, the indices closed higher: S&P 500 up 0.40%, Dow Jones up 0.28%, and Nasdaq up 0.39%.Ten out of eleven S&P 500 sectors ended the day in positive territory, with the best performers being real estate (+0.95%), healthcare (+0.74%), and infrastructure (+0.69%). Telecommunications was the only sector to close lower (-0.35%). Nvidia shares rose 3.2%.On the macroeconomic front, the U.S. economy contracted at an annualized rate of 0.2% in Q1 2025. While this is less than the initial estimate of -0.3%, it marks the first economic contraction since 2022. The upward revision was mainly due to stronger-than-expected investment spending. However, personal consumption grew only 1.2%, the lowest rate since Q2 2023. Government spending fell by 4.6%, the sharpest decline since 2022. Fixed investment rose 7.8%, and exports grew 2.4%. Imports surged 43%, suggesting that consumers and businesses pulled forward demand ahead of high tariffs.Initial jobless claims in the U.S. rose by 14,000 to 240,000 for the week ending May 24 (forecast: 230,000). The four-week moving average dropped by 250 to 230,750. Continuing claims rose by 26,000 to 1.92 million for the week ending May 17.Today, the markets are focused on April’s PCE inflation data, closely monitored by the Fed. The forecast is for monthly inflation to rise 0.1% and annual inflation to increase to 2.2% from 2.3% in March. Additionally, preliminary CPI data from Germany for May, U.S. personal income and spending, trade balance, and the University of Michigan’s final consumer sentiment index will be released. German CPI is expected to continue its gradual decline.Asian indices opened slightly lower this morning, while European indices began the day in positive territory.

In the same period, exports increased 7.8% year-over-year to $20.8 billion, while imports rose 12.7% to $32.9 billion. As a result, the trade deficit for the first four months of 2025 reached $34.6 billion, a 14.7% increase compared to the same period last year. The 12-month rolling trade deficit reached $86.7 billion, the highest since June 2024.Important domestic data releases are expected today. April’s unemployment rate, Q1 2025 GDP figures, and the Central Bank’s Financial Stability Report will be published. In Q4 2024, Turkey’s economy grew 3.0% annually and 1.7% quarter-on-quarter (seasonally and calendar-adjusted). For Q1 2025, annual growth is expected to be around 2.0%.The BIST-100 index is trying to find support just below the 9,200 mark—near its lowest dollar-based level in a year. Since the beginning of the month, the banking, telecommunications, and energy sectors have shown strong performance, while chemical, cement, aviation, retail, and insurance sectors have remained weak. Today, GDP data will be released at 10:00 a.m., followed by the Central Bank’s Financial Stability Report at 10:30 a.m. Next Tuesday, May’s inflation figures will be published. Forecasts suggest monthly inflation around 2.0%. A flat trading day is expected on BIST-100.Technically, the BIST-100 index tested 9,265 intraday yesterday before pulling back and closing at 9,171. The index is trying to hold above the previous support band of 9,148–9,044. While rebound attempts remain weak, efforts to stabilize in this zone may continue. If not, further weakness could follow. A close above 9,475 would signal renewed optimism. Intermediate resistance levels are at 9,224 and 9,325, while strong resistance lies at 9,475/9,500, 9,588, and 9,740/9,760.

Let’s analyze the general market conditions together and take a look at the latest evaluations.Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $108,380. The long-term upward trend that began at $75,930 gained momentum after breaking through the resistance levels at $101,059 and $104,000. The price surged to $111,880, setting a new all-time high (ATH). However, following this peak, profit-taking led to a pullback, bringing BTC down to around $108,000. At the moment, BTC is moving within a horizontal consolidation range between $108,000 and $111,000. If the price breaks upward from this range, $114,500 and $118,300 are potential resistance targets. On the other hand, if the price breaks downward, $108,000 is the first support level to watch. Should this level fail to hold, the next support zones are $104,629 and $101,059. Maintaining above the $108,000 level is critically important for the continuation of the bullish trend in BTC.Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading at $2,720. The strong upward trend that began at $1,486 gained momentum after breaking through the resistance levels at $2,453 and $2,595. Following a recent correction, the price has climbed to $2,720. ETH is currently exhibiting horizontal price movement within the $2,595 – $2,800 range. If this consolidation zone is broken to the upside, $2,981 and the psychological resistance at $3,000 could be targeted. On the downside, $2,595 is the first support level, followed by $2,453 and $2,095 if it breaks below. The outlook for ETH remains positive, but sustaining above the $2,800 level is necessary for the upward momentum to strengthen.Crypto NewsU.S. Vice President JD Vance: “Soon, more than 100 million Americans will own #Bitcoin.”Nvidia Q1 2025 Earnings: Came in above expectations at $44.1 billion.Pakistan is establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve under government leadership.A federal court ruled that Trump does not have the authority to impose tariffs under economic emergency legislation.The Central Bank of Russia announced it will allow financial institutions to offer crypto-linked derivatives, securities, and digital financial assets to qualified investors.Top Gainers:ZBCN → Up 32.0% to $0.00550774SPX → Up 21.7% to $1.18EIGEN → Up 11.4% to $1.67TON → Up 8.7% to $3.35IOTX → Up 8.6% to $0.02358207Top Losers:PLUME → Down 7.9% to $0.1474069SYRUP → Down 7.2% to $0.41507846DEEP → Down 4.8% to $0.17444699GRASS → Down 4.6% to $2.14AI16Z → Down 4.2% to $0.29408506Fear Index:Bitcoin: 73Ethereum: 62Dominance:Bitcoin: 63.46% ▼ 0.45%Ethereum: 9.86% ▲ 2.28%Daily Total Net ETF InflowsBTC ETFs: $432.70 MillionETH ETFs: $84.90 MillionKey Data to Watch Today15:30 – Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (Quarterly) (Q1)Forecast: -0.3%Previous: 2.4%15:30 – Initial Jobless ClaimsForecast: 229KPrevious: 227K19:00 – EIA Crude Oil InventoriesForecast: 1.000M barrels increasePrevious: 1.328M barrels increaseGlobal MarketsThis morning, global risk appetite is trending positively. The decision by the U.S. International Trade Court to halt tariffs imposed by former President Trump on imports—citing an overreach of legal authority—was welcomed by the markets. Following this development, U.S. stock index futures, which had closed lower yesterday, are showing gains of up to 2% this morning. Similarly, futures in Asian and European markets are also on the rise.Yesterday, U.S. equity indices closed in negative territory. The Fed’s May FOMC meeting minutes emphasized the increased uncertainty due to import tariffs and stated that interest rate policy changes should wait until there is more clarity on the economic outlook. Additionally, concerns were raised about inflation being more persistent than expected and rising unemployment risks. As a result, investor risk appetite decreased, and selling pressure intensified. The S&P 500 fell 0.56%, the Dow Jones 0.58%, and the Nasdaq 0.51%. All sectors posted negative performances, with infrastructure, raw materials, and energy leading the losses.Meanwhile, Nvidia’s much-anticipated Q1 results were released. Although its net profit of $0.81 per share slightly missed expectations, revenue came in stronger than expected at $44.1 billion. Despite ongoing restrictions in the Chinese market, these robust results were positively received by both Nvidia shareholders and the broader market.Today’s economic data flow is highlighted by U.S. Q1 GDP figures and personal consumption expenditures. These indicators could be key in determining market direction. Overall, Trump’s trade policies and the Fed’s cautious stance continue to be major influences on global markets.Most Valuable Companies and Stock PricesMicrosoft (MSFT) → $3.4 trillion market cap, $457.36 per share, down 0.72%NVIDIA (NVDA) → $3.29 trillion market cap, $134.81 per share, down 0.51%Apple (AAPL) → $2.99 trillion market cap, $200.42 per share, up 0.10%Amazon (AMZN) → $2.17 trillion market cap, $204.72 per share, down 0.63%Alphabet (GOOG) → $2.1 trillion market cap, $173.38 per share, down 0.34%Borsa IstanbulDomestically, Turkey’s Economic Confidence Index rose slightly to 96.7 in May.

The index tested 9,248 with a limited intraday rise but then fell back due to selling pressure, ending the day near its lowest dollar-based level in a year. The technical outlook remains weak, with the 9,148–9,044 band seen as a relatively strong support zone.

You can find below today’s “Daily Market with JrKripto” report, in which we compile the most important developments in global and local markets. Let’s analyze the general market conditions together and take a look at the latest evaluations.Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $109,750. The long-term upward trend that started from the level of $75,930 gained momentum by breaking through the $101,059 and $104,000 resistances and reached $111,880, refreshing the all-time high (ATH) record. The slight pullback seen after this peak is considered as the market’s process of digesting profit-taking. Technically, the level of $108,000 continues to act as an important short-term support. As long as it holds above this level, $114,500 and $118,300 levels may be targeted again. In case of increasing downward pressure, the levels of $104,629 and $101,059 will be followed as supports. For the positive trend in BTC to continue, maintaining above $108,000 is of great importance.Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading at $2,630. The upward trend that started from the level of $1,486 gained speed after surpassing the $2,453 and $2,595 resistance levels, and ETH has once again gained upward momentum following the correction. In the current outlook, the level of $2,595 now acts as strong support. As long as it remains above this level, $2,800 and $2,981 stand out as potential targets. In possible pullbacks, if it drops below $2,595, the support zones of $2,453 and $2,095 may come into focus respectively. To maintain the upward trend in ETH, staying above $2,595remains important.Crypto News– Japan plans to allocate 900 billion yen in government funds for an emergency aid package in response to U.S. tariffs.– Florida has become the first state to promote lifting capital gains taxes on Bitcoin.– Trump: “Countries around the world want to make trade agreements with us.”– Strategy announced that it has purchased 4,020 Bitcoins at $106,237.– Trump Media Group aims to raise $3 billion in funds to invest in cryptocurrencies.CryptocurrenciesTop Gainers:CAKE → up 15.3%, reaching $2.86CHEX → up 13.6%, reaching $0.23239787QNT → up 12.4%, reaching $107.73FRAX → up 11.2%, reaching $3.57VIRTUAL → up 9.6%, reaching $2.45Top Losers:ZBCN → down 18.8%, falling to $0.00416172KTA → down 7.7%, falling to $0.80173763TEL → down 6.8%, falling to $0.000442572XMR → down 6.2%, falling to $386.28SYRUP → down 4.9%, falling to $0.42535468Fear Index:Bitcoin: 74Ethereum: 57Dominance:Bitcoin: 64.22% ▼ 0.19%Ethereum: 9.21% ▲ 0.61%Global MarketsOn the last trading day of the week, new tariff policies announced by U.S. President Donald Trump caused selling pressure in global markets. Trump announced that a 50% customs tariff would be applied to products imported from the European Union and that a 25% customs tax would be applied to iPhones if Apple produces them outside the U.S. He also stated that similar taxes would be imposed on Samsung and other smartphone manufacturers.Following these announcements, U.S. stock indexes started the day with losses. However, some of the losses were recovered during the day. The S&P 500 closed down 0.67%, the Dow Jones down 0.61%, and the Nasdaq down 1.00%. Only 4 out of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 closed positive. The best performance was seen in the infrastructure sector with a 1.16% rise. Consumer staples, energy, and real estate stayed flat with slight gains. Technology, telecommunications, and consumer discretionary showed the weakest performance of the day with losses of 1.33%, 0.99%, and 0.91% respectively.Trump's postponement of the implementation of the 50% EU customs tariff from June 1 to July 9 gave a signal of recovery in markets at the start of the week. U.S. stock markets were closed on Monday due to Memorial Day. On the first trading day of the week, futures saw recovery. U.S. and European futures indexes rose up to 1%, while Asian markets moved in a mixed and volatile pattern.Global investors' risk appetite is slightly positive as of this morning. The postponement of Trump’s tariff decisions was perceived positively, especially in the U.S. and Europe. In the upcoming period, trade policies and tariff decisions will continue to be decisive in markets.On the other hand, the Consumer Confidence Index announced by the Conference Board in the U.S. has been declining for five months. In April, the index fell to 86, the lowest level since May 2020. Consumers’ 12-month inflation expectation rose from 6.2% to 7%, reaching its highest level since November 2022. It is estimated that this index will rise to 87.1 in May.Most Valuable Companies and Stock PricesMicrosoft (MSFT) → $3.35 trillion market cap, share price $450.18, 1.03% dropNVIDIA (NVDA) → $3.2 trillion market cap, share price $131.29, 1.16% dropApple (AAPL) → $2.92 trillion market cap, share price $195.27, 3.02% dropAmazon (AMZN) → $2.13 trillion market cap, share price $200.99, 1.04% dropAlphabet (GOOG) → $2.05 trillion market cap, share price $169.59, 1.39% dropBorsa IstanbulImportant economic data will be announced domestically this week.

The 12-month cumulative trade deficit reached $86.6 billion, the highest level since June 2024.The growth data to be announced on Friday will be the most critical agenda item of the week for the markets. Our growth estimate for the first quarter is approximately 2% year-on-year and around 1.5% quarter-on-quarter. The CBRT’s updated output gap forecasts in the Inflation Report also indicate growth above potential, around 1.5% during this period.At Borsa Istanbul, the BIST-100 index fell to the 9,300 level yesterday, then moved within a horizontal band in line with expectations. Although there was volatility in stocks, no significant sectoral divergence was observed. Today, with U.S. and U.K. markets reopening after the holiday, an increase in foreign investor participation may be seen on Borsa Istanbul. The main index continues to show a sideways and tight pattern.Technically, the BIST-100 index pulled back to 9296 yesterday and closed at 9345 points. The 9331 level stands out as support in the short term. As long as it remains above this level, a sideways and tight movement is more likely than a significant drop. Closings above 9475 on the index may signal a new wave of optimism. Support levels are 9331, 9233, 9148, 9044, and 8984; resistance levels are 9475/9500, 9588, 9740/9760, 9895, and 9953.Most Valuable Companies on Borsa IstanbulQNB Finansbank (QNBTR) → ₺872.68 billion market cap, share price ₺258.75, ▼ 0.67%Aselsan (ASELS) → ₺621.53 billion market cap, share price ₺136.10, ▼ 0.15%Garanti Bank (GARAN) → ₺469.56 billion market cap, share price ₺111.20, ▼ 0.54%Turkish Airlines (THYAO) → ₺386.4 billion market cap, share price ₺277.00, ▼ 1.07%Koç Holding (KCHOL) → ₺372.78 billion market cap, share price ₺144.50, ▼ 1.70%Precious Metals and Exchange RatesGold: ₺4,164Silver: ₺41.29Platinum: ₺1,349Dollar: ₺38.97Euro: ₺44.32See you again tomorrow with the latest updates!

We present below today’s edition of “Daily Market with JrKripto”, in which we compile the most important developments from global and local markets. Let’s analyze the general market conditions together and take a look at the latest assessments.Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $109,800. The long-term upward trend that started from the $75,930 level accelerated after the $101,059 and $104,000 resistances were broken, reaching $111,880 and setting a new all-time high (ATH) record. However, the pullback seen after this peak is considered a natural correction caused by profit-taking. At this stage, the $108,000 level stands out as the first important support. As long as this level holds, the upward movement may regain strength, targeting the $114,500 – $118,300 levels. If downward pressure increases, the $104,629 and $101,059 levels will be monitored as supports. In order to maintain the overall bullish trend in BTC, it is crucial that the price does not fall below $108,000.Ethereum (ETH), on the other hand, has pulled back to the $2,570 level. The uptrend that began at $1,486 gained momentum after breaking through the $2,453 and $2,595 resistances. The current correction after the recent rise can be interpreted as a technical breather. The $2,595 level still acts as the first important support. If this level is broken upward again, the $2,800 and $2,981 levels may be monitored as potential resistance targets. On the other hand, if the price falls below $2,595, the $2,453 and $2,095 support levels may come into focus again. It is important for the positive outlook in ETH to maintain price movement above $2,595.Crypto News– Japan plans to allocate ¥900 billion in government funds for an emergency aid package in response to U.S. tariffs.– PFVS has been added to the Binance Alpha project.– Florida has become the first U.S. state to promote removing capital gains tax on Bitcoin.– President Powell did not comment on the economy or policy outlook in his commencement address at Princeton.CryptocurrenciesTop Gainers:– ZBCN → up 33.1%, reaching $0.00502794– SAROS → up 19.7%, reaching $0.19175176– VIRTUAL → up 17.2%, reaching $2.24– GRASS → up 17.2%, reaching $2.44– JUP → up 17.0%, reaching $0.61145538Top Losers:– USDB → down 1.9%, to $0.98728466– CHEEMS → down 1.5%, to $0.00000162– JST → down 1.0%, to $0.03539383– SYRUP → down 0.9%, to $0.44254981– BORG → down 0.8%, to $0.21739263Fear Index:Bitcoin: 72Ethereum: 58Dominance:Bitcoin: 64.21% ▼ 0.01%Ethereum: 9.14% ▲ 0.10%Daily Total Net ETF InflowsBTC ETFs: $211.70 millionETH ETFs: $58.60 millionGlobal MarketsPresident Trump’s tax cut bill and trade policies are increasing uncertainties about the future of the U.S. economy, while the decision to impose a 50% tariff on goods imported from the European Union and additional tariff threats targeting Apple have brought global trade concerns back into focus. However, Trump announced that the implementation date for these measures has been postponed from June 1 to July 9, 2025.These developments created selling pressure in global stock markets at the end of the week, while demand for goldincreased due to safe haven appeal, and Brent oil prices rose amid supply concerns. As we begin the new week, Trump’s decision to delay the implementation helped improve risk appetite slightly and created a more positive mood in global markets.Meanwhile, U.S. stock markets are closed today for Anna Day, and UK markets are closed due to the spring holiday.Most Valuable Companies and Stock Prices– Microsoft (MSFT) → $3.35 trillion market cap, share price: $450.18, ▼ 1.03%– NVIDIA (NVDA) → $3.2 trillion market cap, share price: $131.29, ▼ 1.16%– Apple (AAPL) → $2.92 trillion market cap, share price: $195.27, ▼ 3.02%– Amazon (AMZN) → $2.13 trillion market cap, share price: $200.99, ▼ 1.04%– Alphabet (GOOG) → $2.05 trillion market cap, share price: $169.59, ▼ 1.39%Borsa IstanbulAccording to domestic data released by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the number of foreign tourists increased by 8% year-over-year in April.

By country:– Visitors from Germany increased by 31.3%– From the UK, by 13.3%– But arrivals from Russia and Bulgaria declined by 5.1% and 14.2%, respectivelyThis limited the overall growth rate.Looking at the real sector’s foreign currency position, non-financial firms’ net FX short position decreased by $0.6 billionin March to $153.9 billion.

In May 2025, spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S. experienced some of the largest institutional inflows in history. This development shows that digital assets are no longer just speculative instruments, but have become cornerstones of institutional portfolios. The size of the ETFs and the accelerating institutional interest appear poised to fundamentally reshape the role of Bitcoin and Ethereum in the global financial system.Record Figures in Spot Bitcoin ETFsIn the final week of May 2025, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $25 billion in weekly trading volume and $2.75 billion in net inflows. On May 22 alone, net inflows reached $934.8 million, marking the highest daily figure since January 2024.The largest share went to BlackRock’s IBIT fund, which set a new record with $877.2 million in daily inflows, pushing its assets under management to $68.7 billion. The fund currently holds 651,617 BTC, equivalent to 3.1% of total global supply.Since the spot ETFs were approved in January 2024, total net inflows have reached $44.6 billion. As of 2025, IBIT ranks among the top five ETFs in the U.S. by size.Quiet Climb in Ethereum ETFsDuring the same period, Ethereum ETFs also showed an upward trend. As of May 23, daily net inflows stood at $110.5 million, bringing the weekly total to $211.8 million.Fidelity’s FETH fund led with $42.2 million, while Grayscale’s ETHE fund contributed $43.7 million. Although BlackRock’s ETHA fund saw no inflows that week, it remains a significant institutional vehicle with $3.38 billion in assets under management.Gold vs. Bitcoin ETFs: The Race Heats UpIn the ETF market, traditional instruments and digital assets are now in direct competition. In Q1 2025, gold ETFsattracted $21.1 billion in net inflows, showing strong performance. During the same period, spot Bitcoin ETFs drew $3.6 billion in net inflows. This suggests that while investors still turn to gold as a “safe haven,” they are also increasingly acknowledging crypto’s rapid rise.According to data from Bitwise, Bitcoin ETFs brought in $36.2 billion in net inflows in 2024, outperforming the first-year performance of the GLD gold ETF by a factor of 20. Bitwise projects $120 billion in inflows by the end of 2025, and $300 billion by 2026.Governments and Corporations Are Accumulating BTCBeyond institutional investors, publicly traded companies and nation-states are also expanding their Bitcoin reserves. Public companies collectively hold 1,146,128 BTC (approx. $125 billion), which represents 5.8% of total supply.Governments hold a combined 529,705 BTC, led by the United States (207,189 BTC), China (194,000 BTC), and the United Kingdom (61,000 BTC).Bitwise estimates that by 2026, spot ETFs, sovereign reserves, and public companies will bring a total of $420 billion in capital into Bitcoin.Crypto Enters the Institutional EraAs of 2025, cryptocurrencies are no longer limited to individual investors; they are now firmly on the radar of institutional giants. Record inflows into spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs reflect the legitimacy and growing adoptionof crypto assets.With Bitcoin approaching its all-time high of $112,000 and Ethereum rebounding 90%, investor confidence is clearly rising.With hundreds of billions of dollars in expected inflows by 2026, the crypto market is no longer just a tech trend—it now represents a permanent and transformative force in global finance.

You can find today’s edition of “Daily Market with JrKripto,” where we compile the most important developments from global and local markets, below. Let’s analyze the general market conditions together and review the latest evaluations.Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $111,030. The long-term uptrend that began at $75,930 accelerated after surpassing the $101,059 and $104,000 resistance levels, with the price reaching a new all-time high (ATH) at $111,880 today. The limited pullback seen after this peak is considered a healthy profit-taking. If the upward move continues, the next resistance targets stand at $114,500 and $118,300. In potential downward corrections, $108,000 serves as the first strong support, followed by $104,629 and $101,059 as lower support levels. To maintain the positive outlook, staying above $108,000 is crucial.Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading sideways at $2,665. The strong upward trend from $1,486 gained momentum after breaking the $2,453 and $2,595 resistance levels. ETH continues to hold above $2,595, and as long as this level holds, the next resistance targets are $2,800 and $2,981. In case of downward movement, $2,595 will be the first support. If breached, $2,453 and $2,095 will come back into focus. Maintaining above $2,595 is key to preserving ETH’s upward momentum.Crypto NewsSEC approves Canary Staking TRX ETF application.CFTC’s Mersinger: Crypto perpetual futures may be tradable in the U.S.Kraken to offer over 50 tokenized stocks and ETFs, including Apple, Tesla, and NVIDIA.Strategy plans to sell $2.1 billion in preferred shares to fund Bitcoin purchases.Cetus protocol on $SUI exploited.FIFA partners with Avalanche (AVAX) to launch its own blockchain network.Binance to list World Liberty Financial USD (USD1).Top Gainers:MEW → up 27.6%, now at $0.00466798WLD → up 23.0%, now at $1.56DOG → up 21.0%, now at $0.00546503HYPE → up 18.2%, now at $36.83WHYPE → up 17.6%, now at $36.66Top Losers:KTA → down 13.8%, now at $0.73976103TRUMP → down 9.4%, now at $13.95DEEP → down 9.1%, now at $0.19136417FRAX → down 9.1%, now at $3.22WAL → down 8.5%, now at $0.58493299Fear & Greed Index:Bitcoin: 75Ethereum: 60Market Dominance:Bitcoin: 63.81% ▼ 0.31%Ethereum: 9.32% ▲ 0.49%Daily Total Net ETF Inflows:BTC ETFs: $934.80 millionETH ETFs: $110.50 millionGlobal MarketsU.S. stock markets started the day under selling pressure but ended flat thanks to bond market buying. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones indices moved sideways, while the Nasdaq rose 0.28%, with the "Magnificent Seven" tech stocks showing strong performance. Only 3 out of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 closed in the green.S&P Global's services and manufacturing PMI came in at 52.3, beating expectations. This strong performance was supported by potential delays in U.S. tariffs on China. However, existing home sales fell 0.5%, reflecting weakness in that area.Meanwhile, a tax cut bill passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 215 to 214, and now moves to the Senate. This development is shaping market expectations for future tax policies. Still, near-term budget deficit concerns are suppressing demand for bond auctions. As of this morning, U.S. futures are showing mild declines.The VIX volatility index fell 0.6 points to 20.3, indicating a relatively calm market.Weekly jobless claims in the U.S. dropped by 2,000 to 227,000 for the week ending May 17. However, the 4-week average rose by 1,000 to 231,500, signaling slight labor market cooling. Continuing claims rose by 36,000 to 1.9 millionfor the week ending May 10.In Asia, markets were mixed, while European indices opened positively. Today’s U.S. new home sales and building permits data will be closely watched.In Japan, core inflation (excluding fresh food) rose from 3.2% in March to 3.5% in April, pointing to continued price pressures.Most Valuable Companies & Stock PricesMicrosoft (MSFT) → $3.38T market cap, share price: $454.86, ▲ 0.51%NVIDIA (NVDA) → $3.24T market cap, share price: $132.83, ▲ 0.78%Apple (AAPL) → $3.01T market cap, share price: $201.36, ▼ 0.36%Amazon (AMZN) → $2.16T market cap, share price: $203.10, ▲ 0.98%Alphabet (GOOG) → $2.08T market cap, share price: $171.98, ▲ 1.13%Borsa Istanbul (BIST)Yesterday, Borsa Istanbul saw a ~2% intraday rebound, closing near 9,500, driven by expectations related to the Credit Guarantee Fund. There is evidence of foreign buying and inflows from major institutions. However, technical indicators show that momentum is still weak. A clear upward move would require the index to break above the 9,700–9,800 range. As long as this does not happen, a cautious tone may persist.In the short term, 9,530 points is a resistance level, while the 9,350–9,400 band is support. Below that, 9,000–9,100 is seen as the main support zone.Q1 earnings from companies were weak, and rising interest rates prompted downward revisions in target prices. However, these were not as severe as expected. The 12-month average target for BIST 100, previously around 14,400 points, has been revised to 13,800. This still suggests an upside potential of about 46%—but for this to materialize, new market catalysts are needed, such as:Falling interest ratesAccelerating economic growthReduction in domestic and global political/economic uncertaintyUntil these factors align, no meaningful short-term rally is expected.Today, the market will follow the CBRT’s weekly foreign investor flows report. While there was a $670 million inflow over the past four weeks, a significant outflow is expected for the May 12–16 week.Turkey’s 5-year CDS started the day at 298 basis points, indicating continued high risk perception.According to the CBRT’s second Inflation Report of the year, inflation forecasts remain:2025 year-end: 24%2026: 12%2027: 8%The upper and lower bounds of these forecasts remain unchanged (e.g., 19–29% for 2025), and the CBRT notes that upward and downward risks are currently balanced.Highest Market Cap Companies on Borsa Istanbul:QNB Finansbank (QNBTR) → 886.08B TL market cap, share price: 262.75 TL, ▼ 0.66%Aselsan (ASELS) → 624.72B TL market cap, share price: 136.10 TL, ▼ 0.66%Garanti Bank (GARAN) → 472.08B TL market cap, share price: 113.20 TL, ▲ 0.71%Turkish Airlines (THYAO) → 392.26B TL market cap, share price: 285.00 TL, ▲ 0.26%Koç Holding (KCHOL) → 382.41B TL market cap, share price: 151.20 TL, ▲ 0.27%Precious Metals and Exchange RatesGold: 4,155 TLSilver: 41.62 TLPlatinum: 1,378 TLUSD: 39.02 TLEUR: 44.17 TLSee you again tomorrow with the latest updates!
