## Weekly Trend Overview
This week, the overall trend of the crypto market continued the general market trend of last week, showing a relatively obvious downward trend of volatility. The overall market expectation for the middle stage of 2024 is poor, which is related to external economic factors. At the same time, there have been some anti-cutting incidents in the crypto market recently, which significantly impact user confidence. The overall market trend for a week is unclear, and there are still relatively intense fluctuations in the closing period near the weekend. Looking back, the crypto market is still in a continuous adjustment cycle, like last week, lacking positive news factors. Therefore, most mainstream coins have shown a slight decline. The overall market cap growth of the crypto market has continued to decline compared to the same period last week, with a total market cap of around $2.36 trillion, an increase of 0.04% within 24 hours. The market sentiment remains around 52, with a significant decline compared to last week. This week's trend of key mainstream coins this week is mainly characterized by a continuous decline. Overall, the crypto market will likely continue to fluctuate in the near future.

Compared to last week, the total volume of the crypto market has further declined. Overall, the market is still greatly affected by the market's cyclical fluctuations due to the external economic environment and lack of positive news. There will likely be a certain degree of market recovery during the weekend closing period. The top 100 crypto projects have a rise-and-fall ratio of 16:84 within a week, with most coins showing a certain degree of decline. A slight decline mainly characterizes the price trend of BTC within a week, and it is still in a volatile market near the weekend closing period. The coin price is currently maintained at around $65,000, with a weekly decline of about 2.31%. ETH is currently maintained above $3,500, with a weekly increase of around 1.54%.

The overall market was affected by the news this week, with ENS ranking first in terms of coin price increase, with a 7-day increase of 29.72%. The coin price is currently maintained at around $25.8.

There is still a possibility of further ups and downs in the overall crypto market this weekend, and it is expected that a new round of market fluctuations will occur during the weekend period.

## Crypto Market Highlights  
⭐️The crypto market as a whole has continued to fluctuate and decline from last week. The overall market volatility has recently been within the same cycle, and the overall market trend has been experiencing frequent intraday fluctuations since the opening. In reality, there is still a lack of positive news and clear support signals from the external economic environment. In the short term, it is highly likely that the subsequent stimulation brought by the listing of ETH spot ETFs will drive the overall recovery of the market, but the specific time will still depend on the exact dynamics of the US SEC.

⭐️The mainstream coins that experienced a significant increase in the market this week are mainly influenced by the dynamics of related projects and market news, and the overall increase is relatively large compared to last week. The coin with the highest weekly price increase in the crypto market is ENS, with a weekly increase of about 29.72%. The current price is around $25. The weekly high point of the coin is $27.42, which is largely influenced by news factors.

## BTC & ETH Weekly Performance
### Bitcoin (BTC)
![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/image/article/17189347162.jpeg)
(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The overall price of BTC has been fluctuating downward this week, but the magnitude is relatively small, with the coin price rising from above $67,000 to around $65,000. This week, the BTC price has shown a certain degree of decline, continuing the overall market trend of last week. Due to the impact of fluctuation cycles and news factors, BTC prices have shown a slight fluctuation trend. BTC has maintained a continuous fluctuation around $65,000, with a relatively small decrease compared to the opening price. The high point of BTC's weekly price is around $67,200, while the low point is around $64,000.

Analysis suggests that BTC's price changes this week are greatly affected by the market's continuous and fluctuating trend. However, compared to last week, the BTC price changes this week have been relatively gentle, and the price support is relatively strong. It is expected that BTC will continue to maintain a slight market fluctuation during the weekend, with a higher probability of recovery.

### Ether (ETH)

(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

ETH's high point this week was at $3,650, with a weekly price trend similar to BTC, but with a larger rebound in coin prices near the weekend closing period. Compared to last week, the ETH price has remained stable within the range of $3,350-$3,600 this week, with continuous fluctuations. Although there was a round of price recovery near the weekend closing period, there was still a trend of rapid intraday decline.

Analysis suggests that the ETH coin price has followed the overall market trend this week, with a smoother price fluctuation compared to last week, and a smaller short-term price decline. At present, the subsequent major market changes of ETH still rely more on the influence of news factors. However, there is a high probability of a certain rebound in the weekend closing period. Considering the market's cyclical fluctuations, there is expected to be a small round of upward momentum.

## Web3 Project Trend
The total market cap of the seven project categories has fluctuated this week. Due to changes in market cycles and external news, different tracks have also shown different performances. Currently, there is still a probability of significant changes in the overall market trend, and various sectors may receive clear signals of ups and downs during the weekend.
