In the near future, it can be observed that the trading volume of the crypto market is continuously increasing, but the overall market still lacks clear growth momentum, and the current volatility cycle will continue for some time.

⭐️The market situation has risen this week, although it has experienced a rise followed by a fall, there are also many currencies whose prices have seen significant growth. Among them, RNDE's weekly increase reached 43.52%, and the current price remains around $11.10. The weekly high point of the price once reached $11.28, while the low point appeared at around $7.64 during the opening period, ranking among the top 1 weekly gains.

## BTC & ETH Weekly Performance

### Bitcoin (BTC)

The price of BTC has increased slightly this week, but overall it continues the trend of last week on the basis of last weekend. As the weekend closing period approaches, there is a clear downward trend. This has prevented BTC from achieving a high price increase in a week. Presently, the coin is basically maintained at around $62,151 and continues to fluctuate, with a certain upward trend at present. The high point of BTC's weekly price is around $65,500, while the low point is a short-term drop to the $60,600 range.

Analysis suggests that due to the lack of significant news and hot factors in recent times, as well as the large net outflow of ETF funds over several days, the market has been unable to have a clear consensus on the bullish expectations of BTC prices this week. Considering the current large market cycle, the coin still needs further positive stimulus.

### Ether (ETH)

(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

ETH's price fluctuation this week is greater than BTC's, and it is in a more obvious continuous downward trend. Building on the upward trend from last weekend, ETH prices continued to decline shortly after opening. The high point of the price within a week is around $3,220, while the low point appears around $2,936, which is a short-term decline.

Analysis suggests that the performance of ETH coin prices this week is related to the relatively low number of Ethereum network hotspots in recent weeks. At present, there is also a lack of popular projects and applications within the ecosystem. Given that the review progress of SEC related ETFs is still lagging, this may make it difficult for ETH prices to return to historical highs this year.
