Caution Advised: 6 Cryptocurrencies to Steer Clear of This Week

In the crypto realm, Bitcoin (BTC) hits a new milestone at $45,922 on January 2, 2024, prompting attention to other digital assets.

Bitcoin's recent surge has influenced various cryptocurrencies to follow suit, but smart investors exercise caution in the face of overextended speculative assets, a key aspect of effective risk management.

To identify potential pitfalls, investors turn to fundamental and technical analyses, spotlighting meme coins with weak fundamentals and those labeled 'overbought' by the Relative Strength Index (RSI).

Meme coins, initially created for amusement in the digital finance space, gained traction following Elon Musk's endorsement of Dogecoin (DOGE) and the rise of Shiba Inu (SHIB). Notably, caution is advised for Pepe (PEPE) and Bonk (BONK), as 2023 saw both thrive on speculator greed, possibly leading to similar fates.
