## Weekly Trend Overview
This week, the <a href="/price" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">crypto market</a> was affected by the shock caused by the theft of a crypto trading platform. The market experienced a large-scale plunge. The weekly decline of mainstream coins hit the largest in recent times, and the trend was mainly continuous decline for most of the week. Market users show a tendency to choose risk aversion first. The trend of mainstream coins is a clear, continuous decline, and market sentiment has also dropped to a new low. Near the closing time of the week, the decline of most mainstream coins remains above 10%. There is still a possibility of continued decline in the short term, and the probability of bottoming out and rebounding this week is small.

Most mainstream cryptocurrencies have experienced continuous declines this week, mainly characterized by multiple rounds of declines. The current market trend in the short term is still very unclear, but the crypto market has entered an overall correction cycle.

This week, the price of BTC continued to fall, and has now dropped to the $83,000 range. There is still a risk of further decline. The low point of BTC was around $82,242, and the high point was around $96,473 during the opening period.

Compared with BTC, <a href="/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">ETH price</a> fluctuations are larger. The week's high point is around $2,833, and the low point is around $2,219 in the current period. Affected by hackers' large-scale purchase of ETH, ETH had a certain short-term rise, but the currency also fell rapidly as the overall market fluctuated. This week, the price trends of most key mainstream coins still show a diving and falling market trend. The current market sentiment has fallen to around 20, and the risk aversion sentiment is heavy. The overall market value growth of the crypto market has dropped significantly, reaching around $2.79 trillion, an increase of 0.01% in 24 hours.

Compared with last week, the overall <a href="/price" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">cryptocurrency market</a> has plunged this week. Affected by the news, there has been a large-scale decline and volatility. The current price of BTC is around $84,000. The current price of ETH remains around $2,276.

Currently, the overall crypto market is in an adjustment cycle, and it is still uncertain whether it will enter a new downward range. A new round of overall changes may occur during the weekend. MKR has the largest increase this week, but the actual increase is not large, reaching about 16% in a week.

The overall cryptocurrency market is expected to experience small fluctuations this weekend, and a bottom may be approaching.
