## Weekly Trend Overview
The overall crypto market experienced small-scale fluctuations this week, with significant differences in the rise and fall of several mainstream currencies. The market sentiment remained largely unchanged from last week's situation. Compared to last week, the total volume of the crypto market has increased to a certain extent, with a market value around $1.96 trillion, which is basically consistent. The intraday trading volume in the market is still frequent, but key currencies such as BTC have shown temporary price declines and weak growth. As the weekend closing stage approaches, there should be some fluctuations in the market.

The crypto market started to show a new cycle of volatility this week. On the basis of breakthrough growth in the market last week, the market began to show different ups and downs, with project tokens in gaming, AI, storage, and other sectors showing certain gains. Earlier, BTC saw a rapid rise, but this week it has remained stable above $51,000. Currently, it may be difficult to see a general correction in the overall situation, but the internal fluctuations in the market can be seen as another form of adjustment volatility.

The fluctuation ratio of the top 100 crypto projects within a week is approximately 44:56, with a relatively average distribution of fluctuations. The BTC price briefly broke through $53,000, with a weekly increase or decrease of about -1.35%. Similarly, ETH also broke through $3,000 this week, with an overall increase of 5.15%. Both have reached new highs in coin prices in over two years, and the market recovery may come relatively quickly in 2024.

WLD's 7-day increase this week reached 148%, The currency price is currently maintained around $8.25, ranking among the top in all currency increases. As a classic project that has attracted market attention multiple times, the market sentiment has been quite positive due to the actions of various parties this week, and the increase is very exaggerated.

This week, the crypto market did not experience a general upward trend like last week but a large-scale correction did not occur. The market sentiment has cooled slightly, and further attention can be paid to the market trend during the weekend closing stage.

## Crypto Market Highlights
⭐️Last week, the overall crypto market remained relatively stable. Essentially, the market has entered a new cycle of volatility. After the overall general upward trend has stabilized, the market hotspots have begun to shift towards speculation in non-mainstream currencies. This reflects signals there may not be a significant inflow of funds in the short term, and various project types may experience a cyclical upward trend. It largely depends on the influence of hot topics on the message surface.

⭐️The overall market situation has remained stable this week. Although internal fluctuations have been widespread, AI concept tokens have become the fastest-growing sector due to external news factors, with WLD being the representative, and with a seven day increase of 148%. As one of the AI concept representative tokens in the past two years, it has received more attention due to the founder's reasons. Recently, it caught up with the release of a new version of ChatGPT, which has a more obvious direct impact, The coin price has risen directly above 8 and is currently maintained at around $8.25.

## BTC & ETH Weekly Performance
### Bitcoin (BTC)
![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/image/article/1708679739image.jpg)
(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The price trend of BTC has shown a sustained slight fluctuation this week, with significant intraday fluctuations. In the short term, it reached the highest point of $53,000 and the lowest point was close to $50,600, basically maintaining within the range of new areas after the recent rise in coin prices. Of course, it has also been operating above $51,000 for most of the time, but looking at it over a week, the currency price trend is gradually declining, and there may be a slow downward trend in the short term.

Analysis suggests that the currency price of BTC has remained relatively stable this week. Due to the rapid increase last week, the currency price has been pulled into a new price range, and its basic fluctuation range is basically the same as before, controlled within the range of $3,000 and fluctuating repeatedly. Currently, BTC is showing a weak growth trend, which is closely related to the rapid rise of the currency price. However, there has not been a significant correction, and the currency price has been basically maintained. It is only that the holdings of major exchanges have dropped to the same low point, and it is likely that the currency will experience another significant upward trend in the future.

### Ether (ETH)
![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/image/article/17086535883.png)
(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

ETH's price trend has continued to rise this week, starting to operate around the $3,000 price range and breaking through the key price range of $3,000 within a week. Given the current market fluctuations, the impact of various hot topics on Ethereum itself has basically kept the price of ETH fluctuating within a small range, and the subsequent fluctuations are likely to be limited, and this state will continue in the short term.

Analysis suggests that the ETH coin price continued its trend from last week this week. Although the increase did not increase again, it has basically entered a new range of coin price fluctuations after breaking through key price levels. It is highly likely that it will continue to fluctuate within the current price range in the future, and the temporary upward space has become relatively limited.

## Web3 Project Trend
This week, the total market value of seven types of projects has increased significantly, and the fluctuations in various tracks have been basically controlled within a small range. Affected by the overall market fluctuations, various sectors have entered a new cycle this week, and the fluctuations in different types of projects are still quite obvious. This trend will continue in the short term.
