## Weekly Trend Overview

The overall trend of the crypto market has shown a significant rebound this week, with most mainstream cryptocurrencies showing a clear upward trend. Currently, the overall market recovery trend is quite clear. The total market volume has changed significantly in the past week. Although there have been some short positions and liquidations this week, the overall external capital inflow and market expectations have turned optimistic. Under the influence of recent cycles, the overall crypto market has entered a relatively straightforward upward cycle, and the recovery trend has intensified. The overall market value of the crypto market has increased significantly compared to the same period last week. Currently, the total market value has reached around $2.33 trillion, a decrease of 1.39% within 24 hours. The market sentiment remains around 57, showing a good increase compared to last week's market trend. The trend of key mainstream coins this week is mainly characterized by a relatively clear rebound, which is also influenced by the chain effect of news factors.

Compared to last week, the total volume of the crypto market has further increased. Overall, the most critical factor affecting the market this week is the news aspect. The attempted assassination of Trump has greatly affected the political and business sectors in the United States, and the crypto industry has also shown a relatively positive response. The top 100 crypto projects this week had a 9:1 rise/fall ratio within a week, and the market experienced a general upward trend across the board. The overall upward trend of BTC price within a week is significant, exceeding 10%, but it fell below the key price of $65,000 near the weekend closing. The coin price is currently maintained at around $63,750, with a weekly increase of about 10.8%. The trend of ETH is similar, currently supporting around $3,414, with a weekly rise of around 9.61%.

The news and the cyclical changes in the market significantly influenced the market's upward trend this week. Compared to last week, it is a continuous rise. WIF ranks first in terms of price increase, with a 7-day increase of 57.27%, and the price is currently maintained around $2.4.

There is still a possibility of further fluctuations in the overall crypto market this weekend. A new round of market volatility is expected to occur during the weekend period, with a high probability of a slight decline. However, the probability of a sustained upward trend in the future is relatively high.

## Crypto Market Highlights
⭐️Last week, the crypto market as a whole showed a general upward trend, with most mainstream coins experiencing further gains this week. The overall increase in the market is also considerable. Due to the positive expectations brought by news factors and the continuous large net inflow of funds into ETFs, the market as a whole presents a relatively optimistic outlook and is expected to see further clear upward trends in the future.

⭐️The mainstream coins that have experienced significant increases in the market this week have shown a large magnitude. Currently, the cryptocurrency with the highest weekly price increase in the crypto market is WIF, mainly due to the rapid heating of the MEME track caused by market conditions. The coin has a weekly increase of about 58.21% and is currently priced at around $2.4. The highest price of the coin in a week was $2.4743, and currently, it is still in a slight upward or downward trend. The subsequent market situation needs to be judged based on multiple factors.

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

(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The overall trend of BTC price this week is characterized by a rapid increase after the opening, and a slight fluctuation starting from the mid-week period. Due to the overall market cycle warming up last week, the opening price of BTC remained at around $60,000. After being influenced by news factors, it experienced a rapid upward trend. This week, BTC's price performance has been controlled within a relatively clear price cycle, and it has entered a new price range with continuous slight fluctuations. The coin is currently fluctuating around $63,800 and has shown a clear increase compared to the opening price. The high point of BTC's weekly price is around $66,100, while the low point is around $59,300.

Analysis suggests that the price fluctuations of BTC this week are influenced by the market recovery cycle, coupled with the explosive news of Trump's attempted assassination, which has had a significant impact on the crypto market. This has made the overall market positive, and BTC price performance has been affected by multiple factors, resulting in a clear upward trend. It is expected that the coin will experience a further upward trend during the weekend, with a certain chance of returning to above $65,000, but slight fluctuations will still be the norm.

### Ethereum (ETH)

(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

The high point of ETH price this week is at $3,520, and the price trend for the week is similar to BTC. The two have maintained a strong correlation trend, both of which are greatly influenced by market cycle changes and news factors, thus achieving a rapid rise in coin price for the week. The price of the coin remains relatively stable within a small range near the weekend closing period, with the current price hovering around $3,400.

Analysis suggests that the performance of the ETH coin price this week has basically followed the overall market trend and has been influenced by news factors. Although the progress of spot ETF applications is still slow and the market attention is low, the impact of the overall market recovery is still relatively clear. The coin's price fluctuation is similar to BTC's, maintaining a continuous rise and fall within a new price range.
