Market Context and Investor Caution

Although these altcoins are doing remarkably well, experts recommend caution. Volatility, liquidity, as well as macroeconomic pressures are still shaping the wider crypto space. It still remains unknown whether these raise are sustainable or just a speculative fever. Nevertheless, since no token has made it to its all-time highs yet, technical analysts believe that momentum can continue if the fundamentals are intact.
