## Weekly Trend Overview
The <a href="/ar/price" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">crypto market</a> has once again entered a rapid downward trend this week, with actual performance showing a certain bottoming out trend. The overall market value has significantly declined, and the market is showing a fluctuating downward trend. The price increase of most mainstream coins for two consecutive weeks has basically been reversed by the same amount, and <a href="/ar/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> has once again reached a price above $60000. Overall, the prices of key mainstream coins have fallen again, and the overall market value has dropped by billions of dollars. There is a lack of clear upward signals in the <a href="/ar/price" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">crypto market</a>, and the overall market has continued to decline after opening for the past week. The overall market value growth of the <a href="/ar/price" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">crypto market</a> has significantly declined compared to the same period last week, reaching around $2.11 trillion, a decrease of 0.10% within 24 hours. The market sentiment has reached around 36, showing a significant decline compared to the same period last week. The current trend of key mainstream coins is a continuous decline, and it is not ruled out that there will be further declines during the weekend closing period. The mainstream view is that the market has not yet bottomed out.

Compared to last week, the crypto market has performed poorly due to intensified regional conflicts and the rapid clearance of spot ETFs. The overall market has shown a bearish trend, but it is still in a large fluctuation cycle, and the subsequent continuous fluctuation trend will still be the main trend. The overall market situation is still showing a clear volatile trend, with most mainstream coins experiencing a general decline, but the decline is still moderate, mainly due to price increases in the first two weeks. The <a href="/ar/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">BTC price</a> has reached around $60,000, with a weekly decline of around 6.41%. Currently, the price remains at $60801. ETH has experienced a weekly decline of around 10.57% and is currently hovering around $2,350.

The overall market performance has been poor, with most coins still in a downward trend, but some coins have shown some price increases due to their own market dynamics. FTT's 7-day increase reached around 39.7%, with a significant price increase. Influenced by market movements related to FTX, it has the largest increase among mainstream coins, and the coin price is currently maintained around $2.

There is a high probability that the overall crypto market will further decline, but there will be a slight correction in the market, and the overall market has entered a critical stage of the year. With the US presidential election and changes in the global financial market, a critical cycle may follow.

## Crypto Market Highlights
⭐️Last week, the crypto market has been greatly affected by external factors, and the overall downward trend is quite obvious. Most mainstream coins have been affected by regional conflicts and the rapid outflow of funds from top coins, showing a trend of overall correction. The sentiment in the crypto market is further declining, and there is a high probability that it will continue to fall to the bottom stage in the short term. The current market situation is expected to show significant changes again by the weekend, but the probability of a slight decline is relatively high.

⭐ The number of mainstream coins that have experienced significant price increases in the market is relatively small, and the proportion of top growth has remained above 10%. However, the FTX bankruptcy management team has taken key market actions, which has led to a strong performance of FTT. The seven day increase has reached around 39.27%, and the current price is around $2. The high point of the coin's price for the week was around $2.65, and currently the price has fallen slightly, maintaining a continuous fluctuation around $2. It is expected to maintain a small price change.

## BTC & ETH Weekly Performance
### Bitcoin (BTC)
![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/image/article/17280116542.jpg)
(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The overall price of BTC started around $66,000 and showed a continuous downward trend after opening. Due to regional conflicts and the outflow of BTC spot ETH funds, the market, including BTC, has fallen overall. Unlike the historical cycle of BTC itself, the current round of decline is more influenced by external factors, so the actual decline is manifested as price retracement in the past one or two weeks. BTC's overall weekly performance has entered a sustained period of small fluctuations, with the coin price remaining above $60,000 and fluctuating continuously. The high point of the weekly price is around $66,000, and the low point is around $59,850.

Analysis suggests that the price change of BTC is mainly influenced by external news factors. The price increase in the past two weeks has once again given up, with a decline of about 6%. Currently, it follows the overall trend of the market and is in a relatively clear downward channel. There have been no special price changes near the closing period, and the probability of continuous fluctuations in the short term is relatively low.

### Ethereum (ETH)
![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/image/article/17280116903.jpg)
(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The high point of <a href="/ar/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">ETH price</a> was near $2,700 during the opening session, and its overall performance was similar to BTC, showing a rapid decline after being influenced by external information after the opening. The <a href="/ar/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">ETH price</a> for most of the week is divided into two states: before and after a decline. The former remains above $2,600 and continues to rise and fall, while the latter rapidly drops and fluctuates slightly around the current $2,350. ETH's weekly decline is around 10.56%. The coin is in a relatively stable price fluctuation stage, with a significant decline in price.

Analysis suggests that the decline in <a href="/ar/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">ETH price</a> is greater than the increase in <a href="/ar/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">BTC price</a>. This is mainly due to negative views on the performance of the coin in spot ETFs. In fact, ETH's performance this year has been relatively disappointing. Although its price trend curve is similar to BTC's performance, the actual price has always been difficult to break through to the same stage of the historical cycle. The fluctuation range of ETH coin price is likely to continue above $2300, and the probability of further rebound after breaking through $2,400 is very low.

## Web3 Project Trend
The total market cap of seven types of projects fell across the board, and the price increase in the past two weeks has basically subsided. Although the overall market performance has entered a small fluctuation stage after a downward channel, and small-scale fluctuations are the current mainstream trend, there is no obvious sign of recovery in various tracks. Currently, the overall market situation has not completely bottomed out, and may usher in a new round of market decline during the weekend.
