A summary of the cryptocurrency market over the past weekend and predictions for the coming week.

Crypto Market Summary for the past week (April 5-12, 2026):
The market experienced significant volatility due to geopolitical news. Prices fell at the beginning of the week due to US-Iran tensions, then surged thanks to ceasefire news, boosting the total market cap by approximately $100 billion in a single session.

• Bitcoin (BTC): Fluctuated around $68-72k, closing the week up about 4-7%, reaching a 3-week high (~$71-72k) before a slight correction.

• Ethereum (ETH): Increased more strongly than BTC (approximately 6-8%), rising from ~$2100 to over $2200-2280, holding support at the 0.236 Fibonacci level.

• Most altcoins were in the red (75-80% of the top 50 coins declined), altcoins were weaker than BTC/ETH. Whales were less active, with retail investors buying in. The BTC ETF had positive inflows in March but slowed down in April.
Overall: The week saw a short rally thanks to risk-on from ceasefire, but volume was low, and sentiment was cautious due to macro factors (US CPI) and geopolitics.
Forecast for next week (April 13-19, 2026):
The market will remain sideways/consolidate around the current level, heavily dependent on:
• US economic data (CPI, inflation).

• Middle East peace progress (Strait of Hormuz).

• US regulatory news (Clarity Act).

Positive scenario: BTC holds above 70k → tests 75k, ETH continues to underperform thanks to DeFi/L2 catalysts.

Negative scenario: If bad macro news → pullback to support at 65-68k BTC.
In general, many analysts predict April will still be difficult (Q1 was the worst quarter in many years), but there are signs of long-term accumulation from institutional factors. We recommend monitoring volume and major news events, and avoiding high leverage.
Data is for reference only; the crypto market is very risky!
