## Crypto Market Highlights 
⭐️Last week, the overall crypto market was mainly affected by news factors, with clear signs of recovery. Most mainstream coins have experienced a certain degree of upward trend due to the overall upward trend of the market and external factors, but there has not been a large-scale general rise across the board yet. The overall performance of the crypto market is mainly showing a certain degree of increase, and market sentiment has not yet accumulated to an optimistic stage. The market will likely fluctuate and rise continuously in the short term. The current market situation is expected to continue until the weekend when there will be another significant increase.

⭐️There are many mainstream coins that have experienced price increases in the market this week, and the proportion of top growth has remained above 30%.

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

(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The overall price of BTC started to fluctuate downward from around $60000 last weekend this week, and after being confirmed by the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut news, it began to show a price rebound. As the weekend closing period approached, the price of BTC showed a significant increase. However, the overall weekly increase of the coin remained below 10%, and currently the price of the coin is fluctuating around $63,000, with a relatively stable trend. There is a high probability that the coin will have a new upward trend this week, and the probability of a significant increase is low. There is still a chance of a rebound, and $65,000 may become a key price level in the short term. The high point of BTC's weekly price is around $63,880, while the low point is around $57,500.

Analysis suggests that the price changes of BTC this week are mainly influenced by external news factors. With the increasing pressure of spot buying and the optimistic outlook of mainstream market observers for the recovery of the crypto market after the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut, BTC has experienced a significant rebound, but there has not been a particularly large-scale continuous upward trend so far. The probability of another upward trend occurring in the short term is relatively high, with $65,000 or a key price range.

### Ethereum (ETH)

(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The high point of <a href="/ar/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">ETH price</a> this week was around $2,490, and there was no significant rebound in overall price within a week. However, it also experienced a rapid upward trend after being affected by news. The price of the coin remained within the range of $2,250-$2,500 for a week, with continuous fluctuations. ETH's weekly increase is around 5.28%. The coin is in a relatively obvious stage of fluctuation and upward trend, with prices rising compared to the same period last week.

Analysis suggests that the performance of ETH coin price this week is weaker than other mainstream coins, and the lack of popular dynamics in the Ethereum ecosystem recently is a more important reason. Even with positive news, the price rebound of this coin is still somewhat weak compared to BTC, but the price trend is similar. The fluctuation range of ETH coin price is likely to continue to fluctuate around $2,500 this week, and it will take time for the price to truly rise significantly.

## Web3 Project Trend
