CoinGabbar’s Opinion

Based on today’s crypto update, investors should remain cautious. While Bitcoin and Ethereum show modest gains and select tokens like DeMCP and 2Z are surging, the Fear & Greed Index signals extreme fear, and overall sentiment remains weak. The volatility is high, making short-term investments risky, though long-term opportunities may exist for disciplined, informed investors.
