## Weekly Trend Overview
The overall <a href="/price" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">crypto market</a> trend has been fluctuating and rebounding, which is a continuous cycle of fluctuation and upward trend since last week. Most major coins have maintained fluctuating upward trends throughout the week, and the overall market value has risen to a certain extent. <a href="/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> and <a href="/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> spot ETFs performed average, with mainstream financial markets showing weak performance before the US election. At the same time, the controversy over the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike continues, which has had a certain impact on the crypto market. The crypto market remains above $20,000, with a sustained upward trend within a week. The market is expected to remain in a volatile upward cycle. The overall market value growth of the crypto market has slightly increased compared to the same period last week, reaching around $2.14 trillion, with a decrease of 1.21% within 24 hours. The market sentiment remains around 50. The overall trend of key mainstream coins showed a volatile upward trend, but the magnitude is relatively small. Currently, it appears that there will be more significant changes during the weekend closing period.

Compared to last week, the crypto market has remained relatively volatile, lacking clear signals of a significant upward trend for two consecutive weeks. The price performance of several key mainstream coins has fluctuated around multiple key price levels throughout the week. The rise/fall ratio of mainstream coins within a week is 9:1, and although the market performance is weak within a week, there are obvious signs of recovery. The <a href="/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">BTC price</a> has once again returned above $60,000 within a week, but the overall volatility frequency remains high, with a weekly increase of around 6.25% and a price around $60,400. ETH has seen a weekly increase of around 2.76% and is currently hovering around $2,613.

The overall performance of the market is commendable, but there has not yet been a mainstream coin with particularly large gains. KLAY's 7-day increase has reached around 36.86%, and the price curve has continued to rise, with the highest increase. The coin price is currently maintained around $0.1712.

There is a high probability that the overall crypto market will maintain a slight upward trend, and it is expected that this situation will continue during the weekend, but the overall magnitude will still be controlled within a small range.

It can be said that even today, we can see these issues playing a role in DAOs. Anonymity is a form of balance, and its existence is to run the 'dark side of the cycle,' which itself cannot run the entire cycle. Just like you cannot operate a society with permanent rebellious energy. Regarding the risk of X, I believe that pluralistic thinking can help us more effectively identify mitigation measures that people can support.”

## Crypto Market Highlights  
⭐️Last week, after experiencing two consecutive weeks of recovery, the crypto market began to show a more clear upward trend. Although the overall performance of the crypto market is still somewhat weak, the market has shown a relatively clear recovery state, and it is highly likely to continue to fluctuate and rise in the short term. The current market situation is expected to continue during the weekend closing period.

⭐️The number of mainstream coins that have experienced significant increases in the market is relatively small, and most of them have maintained a certain range of gains. However, the coins that are among the top in terms of gains have shown limited actual gains. KLAY has seen the largest increase, with a seven-day increase of around 37.46%, and the current price is around $0.1716. The high point of the coin's price for the week is around $0.1731, which is currently in a relatively obvious upward trend. We expect further price increases in the following weeks.

## BTC & ETH Weekly Performance
### Bitcoin (BTC)
![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/image/article/17243835032.jpg)
(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The overall price of BTC fluctuated within a few thousand dollars, with prices continuing to rise and fall around the key cost of $60,000, mainly within the range of $58,000-62,000. The coin has once again returned above the $60,000 level, showing a short-term downward trend. The coin is likely to maintain a volatile upward trend, although the probability of a significant increase is low, the probability of returning to above the $61,000 level is relatively high. The high point of BTC's weekly price was around $61,800, while the low point was around $57,835, similar to last week.

Analysis suggests that various factors influenced BTC's price fluctuations. After the market recovered, mainstream financial markets are also in a weak state, and the subsequent impact of the US election on the crypto market is increasing. Currently, the actual price performance of BTC is still mainly fluctuating. But this round of performance is currently its worst after previous halvings, and the current state is expected to continue for some time.

### Ethereum (ETH)
![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/image/article/17243835373.jpg)
(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The high point of <a href="/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">ETH price</a> was $2,696, close to the $2,700 level, and its overall performance maintained a strong correlation with BTC. Although the coin price rose slightly in the week, the overall magnitude remained within a small range. ETH's weekly increase is around 3%. The coin is in a relatively obvious intraday fluctuation stage, but the price still remains above $2,600, and there is no significant fluctuation in the coin price.

Analysis suggests that the performance of the ETH coin price was somewhat impacted by the poor performance of spot ETFs, coupled with the overall weakness of the crypto market. ETH basically follows the market trend, and in the short term, the fluctuation range of the coin price is likely to remain within the range of $2,500-2,700 and continue to fluctuate.

## Web3 Project Trend
The total market value of most of the seven categories of projects showed a recovery trend, and the market recovery trend is obvious. Although the gains in each track are inconsistent, the current market situation is still within a relatively small range of changes. It is expected that various sectors may experience further rebound and upward trend during the weekend.

| Project Category  | 7d Change  | Top 3 Gainers  | Comment  |
| ------------ | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ |
| Layer 1 | 2.7%| BEL,DSM,LCN | The Layer 1 sector saw a slight increase, with the actual growth rate remaining within a reasonable range. The overall track still has some room for growth.|
| Layer 2  | 12.3%  |IMX,TOPIA,CYBER|The overall rebound of the Layer 2 track is significant and evenly distributed, and there is still a high expectation of a significant upward trend in the overall performance of the track.|
| DeFi  | 3.5% | $SHARBI,ALPACA,LEND | The DeFi sector saw a slight increase, but overall liquidity has decreased, resulting in significant differences in the overall growth of various coins.|
| NFT  | 10.0% | SHROOM,GST-SOL,GUM |The NFT market saw a significant increase, but overall, it is dominated by non top projects and lacks continuous high-quality performance projects.|
| MEME  | 1.9%  | SOLONG,$SHARBI,PAUL| The MEME coin market remained largely unchanged, with a slight increase. The top-growing coins still maintained a significant upward trend, but the overall market lacks the large-scale and rapid upward trend seen earlier.|
| Liquid Staking  | -0.9% | SFLR,SAVAX,STKXPRT | The overall trend of this sector experienced a slight decline, and the overall market is not good due to the weak performance of top mainstream coins.|
| AI  | 7.2%  | VRSW,AIPG,LKI | The AI track showed some signs of recovery, but the growth rate of top coins is relatively limited and the overall distribution is relatively even.|
