## Weekly Trend Overview
This week's <a href="/es/price" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">crypto market</a> tends to consolidate, with few sharp rises and falls. Due to the large-scale expiration coming this Friday, nearly $20 billion in nominal value <a href="/es/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> and <a href="/es/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> options will expire or trigger intensive market shocks.

After experiencing sharp declines last week, most mainstream cryptocurrencies did not show a significant recovery trend after this week's opening. Due to the overall market decline, the market value of various mainstream coins has dropped significantly, and the mainstream market sentiment is low.

The <a href="/es/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">BTC price</a> experienced continuous fluctuations this week. It is close to the opening price range and remains near the $95,600 price. The one-week price high is near $99,600 and has not yet broken through the key price of $100,000. Overall, the prices of key mainstream coins this week are in short-term fluctuations, with obvious box trends. There is a high probability that the total market value will change significantly with the arrival of large-scale expiration on Friday. The current market sentiment is around 63, and more obvious changes are expected to occur during the weekend. The overall market capitalization growth of the crypto market has not changed significantly, remaining at around $3.32 trillion, a drop of 3.43% in 24 hours.

Compared with last week, the overall performance of the crypto market this week has not changed significantly. Due to the rapid decline of the leading mainstream coins last week, the overall market showed a consolidation trend. The weekly price of BTC returned to the recent low price range, with the price remaining within the range of $95,000. The price trend of ETH over the week is similar, and it has now returned to the range of $3,300-3,400, which is similar to the opening price.

The overall performance of the crypto market this week was poor, mainly due to the recent continuous decline in the market. After the Federal Reserve announced that it would cut the benchmark policy interest rate by 25 basis points, the overall market lacked new changes. Most of the gains in the top coins this week have maintained their recent performance. BGB, as a platform coin, has a one-week increase of about 64%, which is the highest in a week.

Large-scale changes in the overall crypto market are highly likely this weekend, and large-scale expiration is imminent. However, the direction of the rise and fall is still unclear, and market risks will intensify in the short term.

## Crypto Market Highlights
⭐️Last week, the crypto market as a whole showed a consolidation trend and has once again entered a cycle of relatively small fluctuations. This week's market situation is due to the influence of recent external news and the lack of clear positive signals in the market in the short term. We are approaching the weekend closing period, and large-scale expiration is coming. The market will face a round of major fluctuations, and there is a high possibility of a rise in the short term.

⭐️Due to the decline in the crypto market this week, the growth of the leading mainstream growth coins has been relatively limited, and the coins with larger increases are mostly crypto application platform tokens. BGB, one of the exchange tokens, has the largest weekly increase among mainstream coins, with a one-week increase of about 64%. This is mainly due to the impact of platform actions. It has shown continuous rising prices throughout the week. The highest weekly price of this coin is around $7.7917. The low was near the current level of $3.6343.

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

(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

This week, the price of BTC has continued to fluctuate within a small range as a whole. The price support is still relatively obvious, and the market share of BTC is relatively high and still in a dominant position. This keeps BTC prices essentially between $90,000 and $100,000. BTC began to fall again after the price reached a high of nearly $100,000, and it currently remains within the same range as the opening price.

Analysts believe that the lack of significant changes in the price of BTC is more due to the overall market being affected by the U.S. dollar interest rate cut policy. Of course, the upcoming large-scale expiration on Friday is also an important reason for the current uncertainty of bullishness and bearishness. This uncertainty has caused a relatively obvious consolidation trend in BTC. After Friday, the coin is expected to usher in a new price change cycle.

### Ethereum (ETH)

(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The price trend of ETH during this week is similar to that of BTC, and the price trend is relatively smoother. The price of ETH showed a weak growth trend, with small short-term fluctuations. The coin's one-week low price fell to around $3,200. The coin's current price remains around $3,312, which is within the same range as the opening price. ETH's weekly decline was around 3.9%. The coin is currently experiencing slight fluctuations, and a new round of price changes is expected over the weekend.

## Web3 Project Trend
The total market value of seven types of projects this week is due to the recent market trend. Most coins continue to maintain a downward trend. The overall market trend is relatively unified. The market is expected to usher in a new round of decline as the closing period approaches the weekend due to the advent of large-scale expirations.
