What should crypto traders watch?
$BTC : Watch whether Bitcoin can sustain its recovery rather than just bounce temporarily.
$ETH : Monitor ETF flows and whether Ethereum can hold above the $2,400 area.
$BNB : Check Binance Coin's current price and trading volume before entering a position.
Risk management: Avoid buying a coin simply because it has risen sharply in the last 24 hours.
