It is expected that there will be more obvious changes in the market by the weekend, with a high probability of a small pullback.

BTC&Ethereum Weekly Performance

BTC (BTC)

(Data Source: TradingView)

Within this week, the price of BTC overall started from above $61,000 last weekend and showed a continuous short-term Fluctuation trend after the opening. Due to the lack of clear upward signals in the recent market, the overall market is still in the same oscillation cycle, so the actual downward performance may come to a price bottom near $56,000. Currently, the overall performance of BTC in a week has transitioned from a continuous small Fluctuation phase to a rapid downward trend. The price of this currency remains around $59,000, with the weekly high point near $64,200 and the low point around $59,000.

Analysis believes that the price fluctuation of BTC this week is more influenced by the overall market volatility. The price performance in the past two weeks has been mainly characterized by continuous fluctuation after entering a downward channel. The decline in one week is about 2.2%. Currently, it follows the overall market trend and is in a clear state of rapid decline and long order liquidation. The price fluctuation is more intense as it approaches the closing period.

Ethereum (ETH)

(Data Source: TradingView)

ETH reached a high point above $2500 after opening this week, with overall performance differing from BTC within the week. Although a rapid decline occurred near the weekend closing period, the overall price Fluctuation was more intense. ETH's coin price fluctuated continuously for most of the week, basically maintaining a range of $2300-2500, with frequent short-term Fluctuation. ETH's weekly increase is around 1%. Currently, the currency is experiencing a more intense price Fluctuation phase, with the price reaching the lower range of the week.

Analysts believe that the price of ETH has fluctuated relatively little this week compared to the same period last week, mainly due to the market's overall Fluctuation in the past week. Although there has been a pump in price fluctuations, the overall trend is still downward. The fluctuation of ETH prices is likely to continue within the current price range, but there is a high probability of breaking through $2400 this week.

Web3 Project Trends

This week, the total market capitalization of seven types of projects has fluctuated, but compared to the same period last week, the decline has already dropped. The overall market performance this week is still mainly short-term fluctuations, but entering the closing period of the weekend, the market trend has shown a rapid decline, and it is expected to enter a more clear trend state during the weekend period.
