## Weekly Trend Overview
This week, the overall trend of the crypto market saw a round of market rebound, with leading mainstream coins experiencing rapid price increases near the weekend closing period. The basic trend of the week showed a short-term upward trend after fluctuations. Although there was an upward trend in the near weekend, it was more affected by the cyclical fluctuations of the market, resulting in an increase in short-term coin prices and market trading volume. The overall market value growth of the crypto market has increased compared to the same period last week, currently maintaining around $2.35 trillion, a decrease of 1.25% within 24 hours. The market sentiment remains at 61, which can be seen as a signal of a further upward trend in the future. This week, the trend of key mainstream coins has shown a stable fluctuation followed by a rapid increase, but the magnitude is relatively limited. Overall, the crypto market is expected to experience a more significant market change during the weekend closing period, and further ups and downs in the future need to be combined.

Compared to last week, the total crypto market this week has returned to above $2.3 trillion. Overall, the current market volatility cycle is still ongoing, but a new round of market fluctuations should not be far away. The fluctuation ratio of the top 100 crypto projects within a week is 3:7, and most coin prices have fluctuated due to short-term fluctuations. The overall market trend has not yet truly arrived. The price of BTC has shown a significant rebound within a week and is currently maintaining an upward trend, above $65,000, with a weekly increase or decrease of approximately 4.43%. ETH has entered a downward trend after rising, with a decline of around 2.91%, currently maintaining a fluctuation of around $2,932.

The best performing coin series in the market this week is MEME coin, ranked first by PEPE, with a 7-day increase of 18.87%. The coin price is currently maintained around $0.00001012.

The overall crypto market is still in a state of significant volatility this week, and it is expected that there will be key market changes during the weekend period.

## Crypto Market Highlights  
⭐️Last week, the overall crypto market saw an increase, but the downward trend is still evident. Except for a small number of coins, the prices of most mainstream coins have generally risen, but the overall trend is still mainly downward. Short-term volatility is the main trend in most coin prices for a week. In the near future, it can be observed that the trading volume of the crypto market is continuously increasing, and the overall growth momentum of the market is also becoming stronger. If there is significant positive news in the near future, a rebound will be a high-probability event.

⭐️The overall market situation has risen this week, and although many coins have experienced significant ups and downs, the MEME sector still shows a leading trend. Multiple MEME coins have seen significant weekly growth, and although there have been some market fluctuations, they have maintained a relatively high growth rate. The weekly increase in PEPE reached 19.26%, and the current price remains around $0.00001015. The high point of the weekly price once broke through to above $0.000012, while the low point appeared around $0.000008248 during the opening period, ranking among the top 1 in the weekly increase.

## BTC & ETH Weekly Performance

### Bitcoin (BTC)

The price of BTC has increased this week, and the overall price has fluctuated more frequently during the day. Although the coin had previously fallen below a lower key price level and the market's fluctuations were very obvious, there was finally a clear price rebound trend this week. At present, the coin is basically maintaining a continuous fluctuation above $65,000, with a certain trend of replenishment. The high point of BTC's weekly price is around $66,700, and the low point is within the range of $60,500 during the opening period.

Analysis suggests that the price of BTC this week has begun to show a significant rebound in coin prices due to the inflow of spot ETFs and the dynamics of the crypto market. Considering the current large market cycle, if there is a general upward trend across the board, the current coin price trend of BTC will be relatively critical, but further observation is needed.

### Ether (ETH)

The price trend of ETH this week is similar to that of BTC, except that the actual price change of the coin has remained within a relatively small range. And in the rising market near the weekend, the upward trend of ETH has not been maintained for too long, and it has now shown a continuous downward trend. The high point of the coin's price within a week is around $3,040, while the low point appears around $2,870 at the beginning of the week.

Analysis suggests that the performance of ETH this week is still influenced by hot trends related to the coin. In the absence of clear coin price support, the performance within the ecosystem is relatively flat. The subsequent major market changes of the coin may come more from external news and regulatory changes.

##Web3 Project Trend
The Layer 1 track has seen some recovery this week, but the overall increase in top growth coins is limited, which can be seen as market fluctuations brought about by the overall market fluctuation cycle.
