@reverse- You can try below

<your search> | eval new_date=strptime(date,"%m-%d-%Y")| eval week=strftime(new_date,"%U") | eventstats avg(v2) as average_v2 by week

You need to pull the week number out of the date.

| eval week_number=strftime(date,"%W")

If you then want to calculate the results for the current vs other weeks you can do some other evals such as

|eval this_week_number=strftime(now(),"%W") | eval weeks_ago=this_week_number - week_number

Need more information to determine how you would want the stats to look.
