CoinGabbar’s Opinion

According to the 24-hour update, the current investment risk is moderate to high because of the downward movement of the prices and the high fear sentiment. However, volatility also presents possible short-term trading opportunities. Investors are advised to be cautious, diversify their holdings, and thoroughly research.
