## Weekly Trend Overview
This week, the overall trend of the crypto market saw a general upward trend, mainly due to the clear positive progress of ETH spot ETF approval. The top mainstream currencies began to show a more obvious upward trend during the mid-week period due to the influence of news. Although there was a certain degree of fluctuation near the weekend, the overall performance still shows a relatively clear upward cycle. The overall market value growth of the crypto market has increased compared to the same period last week, currently reaching around $2.52 trillion, a decrease of 2.42% within 24 hours. The market sentiment remains at 66, which has declined compared to the mid-week performance of the overall market. We can expect further performance from the market over the weekend. This week, the trend of key mainstream currencies has shown a rapid upward trend after the opening, with a relatively large amplitude. Overall, the crypto market is expected to experience a significant change during the weekend closing period and is likely to continue to rise.

Compared to last week, the total volume of the crypto market has increased significantly this week. Overall, the current volatility cycle of the market is still ongoing, but maintaining within the current new price range is a high-probability event, and we only need to wait for the impact of subsequent news factors. The fluctuation ratio of the top 100 crypto projects within a week is 7:3, and the prices of most currencies have risen due to the impact of overall market changes, but short-term fluctuations are still quite intense. The price of BTC has shown a significant rebound within a week, returning to above $70,000. Currently, it has retreated to the price range of $67,000, with a weekly increase of about 3.39%. There is currently no sign of a downward adjustment in ETH, with a weekly rise of around 26.3%, and it is currently maintaining a continuous fluctuation above $3,700.

The top-performing coin in the market this week is PENDLE, which increased 46.13% in seven days. The coin price is currently around $6.21.

Significant fluctuations in the overall crypto market this week are still possible, and a new upward trend is expected during the weekend.

## Crypto Market Highlights  
⭐️Last week, the overall crypto market rose, mainly due to the positive information on the approval progress of ETH spot ETFs. This information has driven the crypto market to experience a general upward trend in the short term, but as the weekend closing period approaches, many currencies are also beginning to show a downward trend in prices. However, the price of ETH continues to rise, and it is not ruled out that positive news in the future will lead to further price increases.

⭐️The overall market situation has risen quickly this week. Although many currencies have experienced significant increases, PENDLE has seen the largest increase, driven by the rise in ETH. The coin has seen a weekly increase of nearly 50% and is currently maintained at around 49%, with prices around $6.3.

## BTC & ETH Weekly Performance
### Bitcoin (BTC)

The price of BTC has been driven up by news this week, and since the middle of the week, the overall price has fluctuated more frequently, mainly due to a rapid upward trend. According to earlier predictions, the coin's price remained within the range of $65,000, but there was significant positive news this week, leading to an upward trend in BTC prices. But as we enter the close of the weekend, the downward trend of the coin's volatility becomes increasingly evident. Currently, BTC is maintaining a sustained fluctuation above $67,000, with a certain trend of making up for losses. The high point of BTC's weekly price is close to $72,000, while the low end is within the range of $66,400.

Analysis suggests that the price of BTC this week was affected by positive news on the approval progress of the ETH spot ETF. As a leading mainstream coin, BTC has shown significant upward fluctuations, but it lacks strong upward support in recent times. Therefore, the coin shows a volatile downward trend as the weekend approaches. Based on the positive news during the weekend, there is expected to be another significant upward trend.

### Ether (ETH)

(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The price trend of ETH this week has shown a slight fluctuation after a rapid increase. After being affected by the joyous news of spot ETF approval, ETH has finally experienced its largest recent increase, and it seems that the probability of final approval is high; the likelihood of ETH continuing to maintain an upward trend in the future is relatively high. The high point of the coin within a week is around $3,950, while the low end is around $3,050.

Analysis suggests that the performance of the ETH coin price this week is influenced by its own hot trends, and the coin price has relatively clear upward support. Currently, it seems that more major market changes in the future of the coin may come from external news and regulatory changes, and the probability of being positive is relatively high.

## Web3 Project Trend

| ------------ | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ |
