## Weekly Trend Overview
This week, the overall trend of the crypto market showed a slowdown in volatility. Last week, the market experienced a clear upward trend due to the approval of ETH spot ETFs. At present, the top mainstream currencies are basically maintaining their price range during the closing period of last weekend, and there is a certain upward trend approaching the weekend. The overall crypto market value growth has increased compared to the same period last week, currently reaching around $2.54 trillion, an increase of 0.77% within 24 hours. The market sentiment remains around 61, with a slight decline compared to the mid-week market performance but the magnitude is not significant. This week, the trend of key mainstream currencies is mainly characterized by slight fluctuations, with some currencies showing more obvious horizontal movements. Overall, the crypto market is likely to maintain a relatively small range of market changes in the near future, and we still need to wait for news factors, such as the official listing of ETH spot ETFs, to have an impact on the market.

Compared to last week, the total volume of the crypto market has increased this week. Overall, the market is in a period of volatility before the next phase of increase. Maintaining the current price range is a highly likely event and we need to wait for the impact of subsequent news factors. The top 100 crypto projects have a rise and fall ratio of 3:7 within a week, with most currencies experiencing a slight correction in price. Short term fluctuations are more frequent, but the magnitude is relatively small. The price of BTC rose first and then fell within a week, returning to above $70,000. Currently, it has fallen back above the $68,000 price range, with a weekly increase of about 0.85%. ETH has currently fallen below $3,800, with a weekly decline of around 1.66%, and is currently maintaining a continuous fluctuation around $3,750.

The top performing currency in the market this week was NOT, with a 7-day increase of 165.11%. The currency price is currently maintained around $0.01288.

There is still a possibility of significant fluctuations in the overall crypto market over the weekend.A new round of upward trend is expected during the weekend period, but the magnitude will be relatively controlled within a moderate range.

## Crypto Market Highlights  
⭐Last week, the overall crypto market rose, mainly due to the positive news of ETH spot ETF approval. At the same time, due to the approaching US election, various political forces have promoted favorable policies for the crypto market. In the short term, the external news is positive in the second half of the year, and the crypto market itself is expected to experience rapid growth in various applications. Under multiple factors, it is inevitable that the crypto market will further rise, but there is a high probability that there will not be a particularly large increase in the Q2 Q3 quarter.

⭐️This week, there were still rapid increases in certain coins in the market, without showing the largest increase. As a newly launched coin, it has been affected by market changes and official dynamics, with a weekly increase of about 165%. Currently, the price is around $0.0128. The high point of the coin's weekly price once exceeded $0.013, while the low point appeared at around $0.048 during the opening period, ranking among the top 1 in weekly gains.

## BTC & ETH Weekly Performance
### Bitcoin (BTC)
![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/image/article/171712120922.jpeg)
(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The overall price of BTC this week has been dominated by regular fluctuations, mainly maintaining a sustained range of $67,000 - $70,000. After being driven up by news last week, BTC prices have shown more repeated ups and downs after a pullback and decline this week. There was a rapid short-term upward trend during the week, but the coin failed to maintain its price above $70,000. As we entered the closing period near the weekend, the coin showed an upward trend, with a more obvious exposure. Presently, the coin is maintaining a continuous fluctuation above $68,000, similar to the opening price. The high point of BTC's weekly price is $70,575, while the low point is within the range of $67,100.

Analysis suggests that the price of BTC this week is similar to the overall trend of the market. As a leading mainstream coin, the price of BTC has maintained a small range of continuous fluctuations, with fluctuations occurring within a relatively stable price range. As the weekend approaches, the coin is likely to continue to maintain its market volatility for a week. It is expected that there will be a certain price increase during the weekend, but the magnitude is relatively small.

### Ether (ETH)
![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/image/article/171712122923.jpeg)
(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The price of ETH has not yet broken through the $4,000 level this week, and the trend of change is basically the price correction and repeated fluctuations that occurred after the rapid rise in the previous week. Looking at the time dimension of one week, the price trend of ETH mainly shows relatively stable price changes, and currently the price is in the same price range as the opening price. The probability of ETH prices continuing to rise again in the future is relatively high, but it will need to wait until the spot ETF is launched in June. The high point of the coin within a week is around $3,970, while the low point is around $3,700.

Analysis suggests that the performance of ETH prices this week is relatively routine and cannot be compared to the significant increase in the market last week. Currently, it seems that the subsequent major market changes of the coin still need to wait for the hot trends of the Ethereum ecosystem itself and the large inflow of funds brought about by the listing of external spot ETFs.

## Web3 Project Trend
