## Crypto Market Highlights
⭐️In the past week, the overall crypto market has been on the rise, but it has mostly been concentrated in the near closing stage with general gains. Driven by news factors and the excellent performance of individual different types of projects, the weekly trend curve has maintained a small fluctuation in the near weekend period, and has begun to show a significant upward trend since February 8. However, currently it appears that the overall crypto market has rebounded to a relatively hot stage in the previous market, but market sentiment is still not strong, mainly due to the slightly sluggish performance of several key coins in recent times. However, considering that the crypto market has entered a new cycle, subsequent performance in all aspects will more or less continue to rise, but it may be difficult to reach a high level in the short term.

⭐️This week, the market has seen further upward momentum, with several key coins breaking through key price resistance levels. However, the coins with significant increases are still concentrated in those with hot spots on the crypto market. DYM's seven day increase reached 96.82%, and as a project token for Dymension, it has recently seen nearly double its growth. At present, the price of this coin is at $7.87, approaching the key price level of $8, and the upward trend is still ongoing. It is highly likely that the coin price will break through $8 in the future, and whether to further increase depends on several key coin prices of the coin and the impact of project news factors.

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

The price trend of BTC this week is basically divided into two time periods. Before the 8th, the coin price was concentrated in a small range, showing overall volatility. Within the 8th, the price began to rise all the way and quickly broke through the key price level of $45,000. At present, the price fluctuation of this currency has entered a new range of fluctuations, maintaining above $45,000. However, it is not ruled out that it may fall below $45,000 in the future. However, the key support level will remain above $24,500, and it is unlikely to fall again to the $42,000 price range in the short term.

Analysis suggests that BTC's coin price has risen significantly this week, based on the overall rebound in the crypto market last week. At the same time, there have been market hotspots in the crypto market that can drive the overall market, coupled with the recent positive performance of BTC's spot ETF, which has led to a general upward trend in the overall market. BTC has also followed this trend and experienced a significant upward trend. However, at present, the currency has just broken through the $45,000 price range. Whether it can maintain and continue to operate still needs to be analyzed based on weekend market trends and key price levels. It is not ruled out that there may be a certain price drop in the short term.

### Ether (ETH)

(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The price trend of ETH this week is similar to that of most upward currencies, but ETH has been showing a more obvious upward trend since the 7th, with the currency price approaching $2,400 at one point. Subsequently, it followed the trend of the market and directly reached above $2400, maintaining the currency price and continuing to operate. The price of the currency rose by 6.81% in a week, which is similar to the BTC increase range. The reason for the market's occurrence is also similar, driven by the hot spot of the market.

Analysis suggests that the ETH coin price trend has a further upward trend this week with the overall market recovery, and has already exceeded the key price level of $2,400. In addition to excluding news related factors, the current market cycle is sufficient to support the coin price to maintain operation in the current price range for a period of time. There is a high probability of further replenishment of ETH prices in the future, but the magnitude will mainly be in a small range.

## Web3 Project Trend
The total market value of the seven types of projects this week has significantly increased compared to last week. Except for the BRC20 market, which is relatively special, the market has experienced a significant upward trend this week. However, it remains to be seen whether there will be further upward momentum in the future. Currently, most mainstream coins have entered a new cycle of coin price fluctuations. Overall, the market itself has been greatly affected by hot topics within a week, and the overall upward trend is obvious. It is possible to pay more attention to intraday fluctuations over the weekend, with a higher probability of further increases.
