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

(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The high point of BTC prices this week has exceeded $27,000, although not as high as last week. However, the low point this week has remained within the $26,000 range. Due to news factors, the high point next week may be expected to hit the resistance level of $27,800.

Of course, BTC's performance this week can be understood as a new cyclical change. After experiencing several consecutive days of stable fluctuations, the current price increase does not rule out the possibility of further steps. Specifically, considering the market expectation of halving the currency next year and the increase in liquidity, recent news factors will be more direct factors to affect the currency price.

###Ether (ETH)
![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/image/article/1695995931screenshot-20230929-215448.png)
(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)
The trend of ETH within a week is consistent with that of BTC, with strong correlation between the two. The high point of this week exceeded $1,660, while the low point was around $1,565.

The price of ETH is also affected by the above factors, and the upward trend of volatility in the next two weeks is more obvious. If Ethereum ETF achieves a breakthrough in positive information in the near future, the positive impact on the coin price will be even greater.
