Crypto markets don’t close on the weekends (or ever), of course, but investors are no doubt hoping for a respite from the chaos after a brutal week for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other top assets.

It’s been a relatively quiet Saturday so far, with Bitcoin roughly even over the last day and hanging around the $84,000 mark. But BTC continued its recent slide on Friday, falling to about $81,000 for the first time since April—and it’s down 12% in the last week, with altcoins showing even sharper drops. Bitcoin ETFs, unsurprisingly, just had one of their worst weeks on record for outflows, too.
