Cryptocurrency Market Performance

Currently, the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies is $2.98 trillion, with BTC accounting for 59.96%, which is $1.79 trillion. The market cap of stablecoins is $182.1 billion.

This week, BTC's price showed a fluctuating upward trend, with the current price at $90,962. ETH experienced range-bound fluctuations this week, with a current price of $3,087. Among the top 200 projects on CoinMarketCap, most have risen while a few have fallen, including: ACT with a 7-day increase of 3368.03%, PNUT with a 7-day increase of 1780.56%, PEPE with a 7-day increase of 115.72%, and DOGE with a 7-day increase of 87.83%.

The MEME sector cannot be ignored; missing out on MEME could mean missing this bull market.

This week, the net inflow for Bitcoin spot ETFs in the U.S. was $1.845 billion, with the total market cap about to break $100 billion; the net inflow for Ethereum spot ETFs in the U.S. was $535.5 million.

On November 13, according to CME's "FedWatch," the probability of the Federal Reserve maintaining the current interest rate until December is 24.3%, while the probability of a cumulative rate cut of 25 basis points is 75.7%.

With multiple factors such as Trump's election as the next U.S. president, the Federal Reserve's rate cuts, BTC halving, and continuous inflows into Bitcoin spot ETFs, BTC is expected to break the $100,000 mark this year, and attention should be paid to the MEME sector for the market's subsequent development.

The "Fear & Greed Index" on November 16 was 80 (up from last week), with this week's sentiment: 5 days of greed and 2 days of extreme greed.
