We compile the top news stories weekly within the crypto, blockchain, metaverse, and NFT space. The weekly wrap-up covers everything from BTC & ETH updates, recent investments, developments of exciting new projects, and other relevant topics.

Here is everything you need to know from September 25th to 29th.

📈 Weekly BTC and ETH Overview

Bitcoin remains in a crucial price range as it looms around $26.5K during the 50-day moving average. A bullish breakout may drive the price to $27,500 and the $28K area. Nevertheless, a bearish rejection could lead to a significant drop, risking a market crash below $25K.

Although the futures market and traders express bearish sentiment, Ethereum's recent price movement offers positive sentiment, suggesting a potential short-term reversal to regain the 200-day moving average.

BTC is trading at $26.9K when writing, up 2.3% in the last 24 hours. Similarly, ETH is trading at $1.67K, up 3.39% in the previous 24 hours.
