Currently, the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies is $3.71 trillion, with BTC accounting for 59.3%, which is $2.2 trillion. The market cap of stablecoins is $307.1 billion, decreasing by 0.59% in the last 7 days. Notably, the number of stablecoins has shown negative growth this week, with USDT accounting for 59.69%.

Among the top 200 projects on CoinMarketCap, most have declined while a few have risen, including: ZEC with a 7-day increase of 58.98%, VIRTUAL with a 7-day increase of 57.8%, DASH with a 7-day increase of 47.23%, ZEN with a 7-day increase of 79.8%, and HNT with a 7-day increase of 29.57%.

Market predictions (November 3 - November 7):

The current RSI index is 46.56 (neutral zone), and the fear and greed index is 32 (lower than last week, in the fear zone). The altcoin season index is 43 (lower than last week).

BTC core range: $107,000 - $112,000

ETH core range: $3,600 - $4,100

SOL core range: $175 - $205

This week, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by 25 basis points as expected, but Powell maintained a "hawkish" stance on whether to cut rates in December, which has had a certain impact on the market. Some long-term holders took profits, leading to a "buy the expectation, sell the fact" situation in the market. In the future, attention should be focused on new statements that affect interest rate decisions and the inflow and outflow status of spot ETFs, which are core variables for the market. In summary, the market is at a critical technical node, and next week will be a phase of volatility and direction selection.

For long-term investors, the core idea is to ignore short-term noise and focus on long-term value and trends.

For short-term traders, next week will be a critical period for technical competition, requiring more flexible and sensitive responses. When the direction is unclear, it is essential to maintain low leverage or even zero leverage to avoid forced liquidation due to severe fluctuations.
