Investor advice

• DCA: If you believe in the long-term value, you can gradually accumulate positions in the range of $2.20 to $2.30 to reduce the risk of a single entry.
• Focus on regulation: The lawsuit between Ripple and the US SEC is still ongoing, and any positive developments could lead to a short-term explosion; it is recommended to keep up with official announcements.
• Set Stop Loss: Given the high volatility of the cryptocurrency market, it is recommended to set the stop loss below $2.05 to strictly control risks.
