## Weekly Trend Overview
This week, the crypto market was mainly characterized by small fluctuations, with most mainstream crypto project prices mainly experiencing small fluctuations. Market confidence has begun to turn around and is no longer blindly bullish. It is more evident in the prices of different currencies, with a general correction trend. The total amount of funds in the current market is $1.45 trillion, which is a relatively small increase compared to last week.

The crypto project of Top100 had a rise/fall ratio of 7:3 this week, indicating an overall increase in the market, but with a relatively small magnitude. On the 15th, there was a significant downward trend, which is currently showing a rebound trend. The BTC high once again approached $38,000, and ETH briefly fell below $2,000, but then returned to above $2,000 and showed a volatile trend.

The prices of BTC and ETH have risen and fallen to 0.5% and -0.4% in a week. Among the top 100 crypto projects, TIA gained the most, with a weekly increase of 140%. This is due to the project's launch on the main website on October 31st and the completion of token airdrops. After experiencing airdrop pressure, the application value of the TIA project itself has been recognized by many crypto users.

Overall, the rise of the crypto market has slowed down this week, with the main trend being volatile. Although most currency prices still show an upward trend, the magnitude has slowed down significantly.

The trend of BTC and ETH during this week was mainly volatile, but the magnitude of BTC was larger, and the price trend of ETH was relatively smoother. At present, the price of BTC remains fluctuating around $36,500, while the price of ETH fluctuates around $2,000, with little change compared to the previous week.

As of now, the global crypto market value has risen to $1.45 trillion, with the entire market rising by approximately 0.2% within 24 hours.

## Crypto Market Highlights
⭐️In the past week, the crypto market seems to have started to show signs of a pullback, and market sentiment has not remained as optimistic as before. The short-term trend is mainly characterized by volatility, and the overall amplitude is also tending to be flat. This week, the hot topic is still the Altcoin market that attracts the most attention.

⭐️ Under the relatively flat market performance this week, the trend of TIA is very exaggerated, quickly breaking through the $5 price range from the $2 price range, and even breaking through the $6 price range within a week, with an increase of over 140%. Currently, it is still in a volatile cycle.

The high point of BTC's price this week has once again approached $38,000, but it has not yet achieved a price breakthrough. This resistance level has a significant impact on the upward trend of the currency. Currently, it seems that BTC has a high probability of maintaining a volatile trend in the current price range in the future.

Overall, the performance of BTC within a week is a normal market trend. In the absence of factors such as earlier news, the price trend of BTC still follows the overall market performance. Currently, the currency will continue to maintain a slight fluctuation in the $36500 price range for a period of time.

### Ether (ETH)

The price of ETH has not changed much this week, and the crypto market has also remained stable throughout the week. Additionally, NFT trading in Ethereum has been greatly affected by the BTC network this week and has not had a significant driving effect on the currency price.
