Gate Research's **Weekly Market Review and Outlook** covers Bitcoin and altcoin trends, macro liquidity, on-chain indicators, hot project updates, token unlock information, and key industry events, providing comprehensive analysis and predictions for the cryptocurrency market.

Firstly, in **Market Analysis**, the week saw significant volatility. After failing to break through $70,000, BTC retreated and, influenced by international geopolitical tensions, fell below $64,000. ETH and other altcoins also followed the downward trend, with the Runes sector experiencing notable declines.

Next, in **Data Highlights**, the ETF market overall performed poorly. The first week of the Ethereum spot ETF saw net outflows of $341 million, while Bitcoin ETFs had net inflows of $106.13 million. This week, the average Ethereum gas fee remained in single digits, with a slight increase in on-chain activity.

Moving on to **Market Opportunities**, this week's airdrop project to watch is Covalent. The modular data infrastructure project Covalent announced that it will start an ecosystem airdrop on August 1, distributing $100,000 worth of TAIKO tokens to CXT stakers. The tokens will be automatically airdropped to eligible staking wallet addresses.

Lastly, in **What to Watch Next Week**, the GG21 event hosted by Gitcoin will take place from August 7 to 21 and is worth noting. On the macroeconomic front, key data to watch on August 2 are the "U.S. July Unemployment Rate" and "U.S. July Nonfarm Payrolls (in ten thousands)" as these are critical indicators for the Federal Reserve (FED) in formulating monetary policy.
