The price performance of most key mainstream coins is also relatively weak. Overall, the prices of key mainstream coins have increased this week compared to last week, and the market has also seen some growth. Various news factors in the market tend to be more conventional, lacking recently unlocked tokens. At present, the crypto market has once again returned to above $20,000.

## Crypto Market Highlights 
⭐️Last week, the overall performance of the crypto market continued the recent market trend, lacking clear stimulus signals. Most mainstream coins have experienced a certain degree of upward trend due to market fluctuations and external factors, but not a large-scale general rise. The overall performance of the crypto market is mainly characterized by sustained small fluctuations, and market sentiment remains low. The overall trend is weak, and it is highly likely to remain dominated by small fluctuations in the short term. The current market situation is expected to continue until a significant change occurs at some point next week.

⭐️Although many mainstream coins have experienced price increases in the market, most of them have remained below 20%, and the coins that are among the top in price increases have shown good growth. BNX saw the largest increase, with a seven-day increase of around 45%, and the current price is around $1.62. The high point of the coin's price for the week is around $1.65, and it is currently in a relatively stable fluctuation trend. It is expected to maintain a small price change.

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

(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The overall price of BTC started to fluctuate upwards from below $55,000 last weekend, mainly influenced by news factors from the US government, which is also one of the important reasons for the overall rebound of the market. However, the overall increase of this coin is relatively limited, mainly maintaining a continuous fluctuation above $56,000 for most of the week. This coin's price trend is relatively stable, showing a continuous small fluctuation market. The coin is likely to maintain this trend, with a low probability of a significant increase but a high probability of a rebound. $58,000 may become a key price level in the short term. The high point of BTC's weekly price is around $58,550, while the low point is around $53,600.

Analysis suggests that the price change of BTC is mainly influenced by external news factors. With the difficulty of BTC mining increasing again, and mainstream market observers being optimistic about the coin's future rebound, although BTC has rebounded to some extent, there has not been a particularly large-scale continuous upward trend, and it is still mainly characterized by small fluctuations in price. Although BTC's actual price performance shows relatively stable small fluctuations, there is a high probability of another upward trend in the short term, with a high chance of returning to above $60,000.

### Ethereum (ETH)

(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The high point of ETH's price is around $2,400, and its overall performance is poor, mainly characterized by continuous fluctuations. The coin's price has remained fluctuating within the range of $2,250-$2,400 for a week. ETH's weekly decline is around 1.8%. The coin is in a relatively obvious fluctuation stage, with prices similar to last week's period, maintaining a continuous rise and fall around the $2,350 price range.

Analysis suggests that the performance of the ETH coin price was poor. This was influenced by the outflow of funds from ETFs and the general bearish sentiment in the market, resulting in a lack of upward momentum for the coin price, which has basically remained volatile. In the short term, the fluctuation range of the coin price is likely to continue to fluctuate below $2,500, and the upward performance is weak.
