## Crypto Market Highlights
⭐️Last week, the crypto market continued to rise, influenced by the US election and stock market trends. In the short term, the overall future trend has become mainstream, with most mainstream coins showing a relatively obvious upward trend, manifested as a continuous rise within a small range. The crypto market sentiment has significantly increased and is in the early stages of rising. Likely, it will rise further in the short term. The current market situation is expected to show significant changes again by the weekend.

⭐️ Many mainstream coins have seen significant price increases in the market, with the proportion of top growth maintaining above 40%. However, the MEME coin is still the most rapidly rising, with MEW prices experiencing continuous fluctuations and an increase of around 44.4% in seven days. Currently, the price is around $0.008348. The highpoint of the coins's price for the week was around $0.00926. Currently, the price has fallen slightly, and it is expected to maintain a slight upward trend in the future, mainly with a volatile trend.

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

(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The price of BTC as a whole started around $63,000 last weekend and showed a continuous upward trend after opening. Due to the recent external news and the rapid rise of the US stock market, BTC showed an upward trend, with a weekly increase of over 10%. Currently, the coin's price is still in a relatively clear upward channel, with a high point of around $68,300 and a low point of around $62,000.

Analysis suggests that the price fluctuations of BTC this week are more influenced by external markets, and with the US presidential election approaching, Trump has a higher probability of winning. His friendly crypto policy has given the crypto market a higher bullish expectation. Currently, the overall trend of crypto driving the market upward is more obvious, and it is expected that the price will usher in a new upward trend near the closing time.

### Ethereum (ETH)
![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/image/article/17292215883.jpeg)
(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

Since the opening, ETH's high point has fluctuated within the range of $2,400-$2,500, and its overall performance showed a strong correlation with BTC over the past week. However, after entering a fast upward channel, the overall price remained relatively stable, currently fluctuating around $2,595. ETH's weekly increase is around 10%. The coin is in relatively small price fluctuations, with prices again falling below the $2,600 level.

Analysis suggests that the price of ETH significantly rose, mainly due to external market factors, following the rapid rise of the crypto market. Although ETH rose in price changes, spot ETFs have not performed well, and there may be a trend of weak coin prices in the future. The fluctuation range of the ETH coin price is likely to increase, but it is difficult to break through the $2,800 level, and there is a high probability of maintaining it near the $2,700 level.

## Web3 Project Trend
The total market value of seven types of projects rose across the board, but there was a significant increase compared to the same period last week. The overall market performance remained mainly volatile, with a downward trend towards the weekend closing period, but there is a high probability of further upward movement during the weekend.
