Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus said with U.S. yields elevated and liquidity gravitating toward equities ahead of key data, crypto markets appear set to remain range-bound until clearer signals emerge on policy and flows.
Avoid chasing green candles and keep position sizes conservative. If you are trading, use clear stop-losses below support and take partial profits into resistance. If you are investing, stagger buys and prioritise capital protection over speed, Subburaj further said.
