CZ has suffered a substantial defeat and paid a huge fine, which has caused a rapid short-term decline in the market. However, due to the lack of adverse rulings by the US judicial department regarding Binance's main business, the overall impact is within a controllable range.

Influenced by various actions of the project this week, the coin price has driven a very rapid rise, with an increase of nearly 50% within a week. Currently, it is maintaining a volatile trend near the 0.5 US dollar price level.

(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The high point of BTC prices this week has not yet broken through $38,000, similar to the previous two weeks' high points, staying around $37,800 and maintaining a relatively small volatility trend for more time.

Overall, BTC's performance within a week is in line with the current volatility cycle of the crypto market, with price trends maintaining between $36,000 and $38,000 for several consecutive weeks. In the future, if there is a lack of news factors or the arrival of the next market cycle, maintaining the current price range and continuing the volatile market will be a high probability event.

### Ether (ETH)

(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

ETH's trend this week remained similar to that of BTC. On the 22nd, due to the impact of news factors, the price fell quickly and then rebounded, fluctuating upwards to the $2050 price range.

The price of ETH has returned to above the $2,000 level again this week, but the overall amplitude is not significant and continues to be a relatively stable volatile market trend. The specific rise and fall in the future still needs to pay attention to news factors and the overall market trend.
