Weekly Overview
The overall crypto market maintained a relatively small fluctuation this week, with a relatively small overall change. It rose first and then fell during the week, but it recovered somewhat near the weekend closing time, but the overall change was not large. The overall market value growth did not change much compared to the same period last week, maintaining at around 2.6 trillion US dollars, up 0.10% in 24 hours. Market sentiment came to 76. This week, the key mainstream currencies showed mixed gains and losses, but most of the mainstream proportions rose and fell within a small range, and the overall trend was still mainly volatile. Overall, the crypto market failed to achieve a rebound this week, and the market is still in a period of volatility adjustment. It is expected to usher in a small round of recovery over the weekend, and the probability of maintaining a volatile trend in the future is relatively high.
Compared with last week, the total volume of the cryptocurrency market this week showed a slight downward trend. It has basically shown a slow upward trend since the opening. There was a round of rapid rise during the day, and then it fell again until the weekend closing stage. The rise and fall ratio of the top 100 cryptocurrency projects in a week was 3:7. The main growth was mainly in the recent popular currencies, and the price changes of the top mainstream currencies were small. The price of BTC returned to above $70,000 again in a week, and is currently around $70,060, with a weekly rise and fall of about 2.44%. ETH also recovered to a certain extent this week, with an overall increase of about 5.04%, and currently maintained at around $3,501 and continued to fluctuate.
The best performing coin in the market this week is NEO, which has increased by 47.8% in 7 days. The price of the coin currently remains at around US$21.94, ranking first in the weekly increase.

Crypto Market Highlights
⭐️In the past week, the overall cryptocurrency market has failed to rebound and is still in a small fluctuation adjustment cycle. Most cryptocurrencies have an overall upward trend as they enter the weekend closing stage, but the changes are really small. At present, it seems that several key upcoming events may have limited impact on the overall crypto market, but have a greater impact on the performance of individual currencies. As the BTC halving is approaching, the recent inflow and outflow of ETFs are repeated. It is highly likely that the crypto market will react in the following period, but the early stage is still dominated by shocks and fluctuations.
⭐️Although the overall market conditions were not good this week, some mainstream currencies still achieved significant gains. The gains of the TOP100 mainstream currencies such as NEO, CKB, ENA, and TON all reached more than 40%, which is closely related to the official actions behind them. The overall driving effect brought by the overheating of the MEME sector earlier has gradually weakened. Among them, NEO's weekly increase reached 47.8%, and the current price remains at around US$21.94. The weekly price high was around US$23.5, and the low was around US$14.8 during the opening period.
Bitcoin & Ethereum Weekly Performance
Bitcoin (BTC)
The price trend of BTC this week was basically affected by the large net inflow of spot ETFs and market expectations after the opening, and there was a round of upward trend, but it basically remained between 69,000 and 72,500 US dollars. After reaching the high point of the week, it began to fluctuate downward, and near the closing of the weekend, it rose again to around 70,000 US dollars and continued to fluctuate. The high point of the week was 72,769 US dollars, and the low point was around 67,470 US dollars.
Analysts believe that BTC's price performance this week is in line with the normal trend, without much trading influence, and more of a normal trend fluctuation under the support of news factors. The inflow and outflow of ETF funds have shown a state of repeated changes between large net outflows and large net inflows in recent days. In addition, the BTC halving is coming, and the recent market performance of the BTC L2 track, etc., the BTC price will still have a relatively clear support in the short term, but it may be difficult to see a substantial upward trend. At present, the fluctuation trend of the currency is detailed. It is expected that the price will reach above $71,000 again at the weekend closing stage, and then decline slightly. The probability of a substantial price increase or decrease in the next week is relatively high.
Ethereum (ETH)
The price trend of ETH this week is similar to that of BTC. The recent price performance of ETH has been fluctuating repeatedly in the range of 3300-3600 USD. The trend this week is still more affected by the market and shows regular fluctuations. The high point of the price in the week is around 3730 USD, and the low point is around 3347 USD at the opening stage.
Analysts believe that the ETH price performance this week lacks any bright spots, and the Ethereum ecosystem has not been hot recently, which makes the currency as a whole in a relatively regular volatile market, and the price performance is more affected by the market changes brought by other currencies. As the weekend closes, the currency does not show much signs of recovery, and the probability of further rise in the next week is low, and it is likely to rise above $3,600 during the weekend.
Web3 Project Trends
This week, the total market value of most of the nine types of projects showed a downward trend. Due to the impact of market cycle fluctuations, each track was basically dominated by a downward trend. Except for Solana-MEME which continued the upward trend, other tracks basically performed poorly. At present, it will take some time for the overall market to recover.
