The crypto market is experiencing heightened volatility due to various microeconomic developments. This week, several key events are anticipated to shape market sentiment and potentially cause fluctuations in crypto prices.

Ethereum's (ETH) price is nearing a potential correction bottom as network growth hits a four-month peak. The altcoin has been experiencing bearish sentiment over the past five months, with low accumulation rates from institutional investors. However, recent data indicates that Ethereum may be reaching a crucial support level, which could lead to a major bull rally in the near term.

Bitcoin dominance has slipped to 53%, hinting at a potential rise in altcoins' presence. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for Bitcoin reached a similar level as in 2023, which historically indicated a market bottom. Despite this, the current price of Bitcoin is below its possible market bottom according to the Pi Cycle Top indicator. However, recent data shows that Bitcoin has successfully tested its support at $54k and the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) suggests a potential recovery journey for BTC.

Quant's price is poised for a rally as on-chain data and price action show a bullish outlook. The token recently broke out of a falling wedge pattern, indicating a potential rally ahead. Increasing open interest in Quant futures and a negative spike in exchange flow balance indicate new buying and increased investor confidence. Additionally, rising daily active addresses and decreasing supply on exchanges further support the bullish trend.
