# ScaleWatching the Week *August 23rd - 30th* By [ScaleWatching](https://paragraph.com/@scalewatching) · 2024-08-30 --- Hello dear ScaleWatchers, Let's round up and comment some of the most important news that happened this week in the L2 scene! ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/d7383e5747b039bb6116296fa8d6fb0b.png) * * * ### **Markets** It's been a moderate-bearish week for most Crypto prices after failing to continue a positive trend in the short-term timeframes. However, it seems the selling pressure is finally losing momentum in the Weekly, although there could still be room to touch the previous bottoms before seeing a slow consolidation upwards.
