## Weekly Trend Overview
The overall <a href="/price" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">crypto market</a> has started to rebound this week. Since last week's market crash, the market has mainly maintained slight fluctuations, and the overall market value has increased to a certain extent. In addition, <a href="/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> and <a href="/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> spot ETFs have performed well this week, with widespread net inflows for several consecutive days, and the external market environment is also warming up, which has given the crypto market a significant boost in market performance this week. The crypto market remains above $20,000, with the overall market mainly experiencing small fluctuations within a week. The market as a whole is still in a continuous oscillation cycle. The overall market value growth of the crypto market has not changed much compared to the same period last week. The total market value remains at around $2.09 trillion, a decrease of 0.34% within 24 hours. The market sentiment remains around 43. This week, the trend of key mainstream coins has shown a continuous rise and fall, lacking clear signals and momentum for upward and downward movements. Currently, this cycle is expected to continue for some time.

Compared to last week, the crypto market has performed relatively smoothly, with a clear overall recovery trend since the 805 crash. It is also common for several mainstream coins to rebound to key price levels within a week. The rise/fall ratio of mainstream coins within a week is 3:7, and the market is still in a relatively sluggish oscillation cycle within a week. The <a href="/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">BTC price</a> has experienced multiple ups and downs at the key price level of $60,000 within a week and is currently in a rapid decline phase, with a weekly drop of around 2.8% and a price of around $57,862. ETH has experienced a weekly decline of around 1.14% and is currently hovering around $2,560.

The overall market performance remained poor this week, with a few coins experiencing relatively small upward movements. ZEC's 7-day increase reached around 22.12%, and the price curve continued to rise from last weekend, with a decent increase this week. The coin price is currently maintained at around $41.5.

There is a high probability that the overall crypto market will remain volatile this weekend, and it is expected that this situation will continue during the weekend. Still, the overall magnitude will be controlled within a small range.

## Crypto Market Highlights
⭐️In the past week, the overall crypto market has shown a volatile correction trend after the 805 crash. With the weakening of the external mainstream financial environment and news factors, the crypto market has continued fluctuating in a new oscillation cycle. But this market trend has been going on since last weekend. Although there has been a certain rebound in the current market, it may be difficult to recover from the market trend before the earlier collapse and decline in the short term. The current fluctuation cycle is expected to continue for one to two weeks.

⭐️The number of mainstream coins that have experienced significant increases in the market this week is relatively scarce, and most of them are still coins that have maintained their upward trend after the market's rapid decline last week. However, the coins that are among the top in terms of gains have shown limited actual gains. This week, ZEC continues to lead, with an increase of around 21.63%, and the current price is around $41. The high point of the coin's price for the week is around $45, which is currently in a relatively obvious downward trend. It is expected to experience further price drops  this week.

## BTC & ETH Weekly Performance
### Bitcoin (BTC)
![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/image/article/17237846102.jpg)
(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The overall price of BTC this week has been mainly fluctuating within a few thousand dollars, experiencing multiple key levels. After the opening at the beginning of the week, the coin fell below the key price of $60,000 in a short period, and continued to fluctuate continuously in the mid-week period, mainly within the range of $58,000 - $61,000. However, currently, the coin has begun to show a more obvious downward trend after falling below the $60,000 level again, and has fallen below $58,000 in the short term. The coin is likely to maintain a volatile trend this week, with a low probability of a significant increase, and will likely continue fluctuating around $60,000. The high point of BTC's weekly price is around $61,860, while the low point is around $57,300.

Analysis suggests that various factors have influenced BTC's price fluctuations this week. After the market gradually recovered, institutions suspended large-scale purchases of stablecoins, and the market cycle entered a significant fluctuation phase again, significantly impacting the coin's price. Currently, the actual price performance is still mainly fluctuating. After entering the weekend, BTC's price fell below $60,000 again and it is expected to experience a certain rebound. However, it is unlikely that the price will remain above $60,000 in the long term this week.

### Ethereum (ETH)
![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/image/article/17237846553.jpg)
(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The high point of <a href="/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">ETH price</a> this week was $2,782, and the coin itself experienced a significant price decline due to last week's market conditions. Although it is in the stage of price recovery this week, the overall volatility is still quite intense, with a weekly decline of around 1.85%. At present, the coin is in a relatively obvious downward trend stage, but the price remains above $2,500, and there is no particularly significant downward trend. Currently, the coin continues to fluctuate around $2,543.

Analysis suggests that the performance of the ETH coin price this week has been greatly affected by the net inflow of spot ETFs, which is the best period of performance since its approval. However, the resistance to the rise in coin prices is still relatively high, coupled with the overall sluggish market performance, which makes this coin, as one of the top mainstream coins, still perform poorly in reality. It is difficult for ETH to return to above $2,800 in the short term.

## Web3 Project Trend
This week, the total market value of seven types of projects has rebounded across the board. Due to changes in market cycles and the gradual disappearance of negative impacts from external news, although the gains in each track vary, the current market situation is still within a relatively small range of changes. It is expected that various sectors may experience further rebound during the weekend.

| ------------ | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ |
| Layer 1 | 5.4% | PYI,HAC,STOS | The Layer 1 track has shown a certain degree of recovery this week, but mainly concentrated in non-mainstream coins, and the actual growth rate has also remained within a moderate range. The track still has some room for upward movement.|
| Layer 2  | 5.6%  |HACD,NWC,ZKB|The rebound of the Layer 2 sector this week is similar to that of the L1 track, but the increase is more concentrated, and there is still a significant expectation for the performance of the track to rise.|

| NFT  | 3.4% | MTRM,LORDZ,TCP |The NFT market has rebounded this week, with the top-growing coins concentrated in niche projects with lower rankings, and the overall track lacks significant recovery.|
| MEME  | 0.4%  | NEIRO,PEOPLE,COBY| The MEME coin market remained largely unchanged this week, with some top coins showing some gains, while many other mainstream coins continued to decline, putting the market in a sideways position.|
| Liquid Staking  | 7.9% | TAPT,QCKUJI,AMPKUJI | The sector’s overall recovery this week is quite apparent, greatly affected by the rise of top mainstream coins.|
| AI  | 4.5%   | EYE,KIZUNA,DOAI | The AI track is expected to rebound this week, with relatively limited growth in the top coins. Except for EYE, which is in the early stages of being launched and has seen significant gains, other coins have seen smaller gains.|
