Another week in crypto wrapped up with a mix of nerves and joy. Bitcoin price briefly slipped under $90,000 before it bounced to above the critical level again late last night, posting an overall gain of 2.5% this week, and Ethereum, on the other hand, managed to stay above $3,000 price range despite pressure across the market, a clean 3% gain this week.<\/p>\n

By Friday, the dust had mostly settled. Bitcoin price bounced and steadied as Ethereum gave the market something to hold onto after a choppy few days.<\/p>\n

While crypto was moving sideways, traditional markets pushed ahead. US stocks printed fresh all-time highs this week. Silver surged to $79, and gold climbed past $4,500 since Donald Trump\u2019s inauguration. Crypto is yet to follow the same momentum.<\/p>\n

Last year alone, Bitcoin slid by 8% from $99,000 to $90,000, and the Ethereum price followed, dropping from $3,435 to about $3,100. Comments from US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent calling for further rate cuts, along with jobless claims coming in slightly below expectations, helped ease some pressure late in the week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Is 2026 going to be the year for crypto?<\/p>\n
