In the volatile dynamics of the crypto market, it is important for traders to not only know what to buy but also what to avoid. The following five coins show signs of being overbought, negative market sentiment, or potential short-term corrections, and are not recommended for purchase in the next 5 days.

1. Dogecoin (DOGE)

  • Current price: ~$0.087

  • Reason to avoid: Volume has dropped sharply despite stagnant prices.

  • RSI above 70 (overbought). No short-term fundamental catalysts.

  • Risk: Technical correction of 8–12% is very likely.

❌ Avoid buying until the price corrects below $0.080.


2. Shiba Inu (SHIB)

  • Current price: ~$0.000017

  • Reason to avoid: Previous rally was not followed by sustained volume increase. Many whales have started to sell SHIB. Prolonged sideways movement without new momentum.

  • Risk: Declining retail sentiment could accelerate the correction.

❌ Not suitable for swing traders in the near term.

3. Kaspa (KAS)

  • Current price: ~$0.17

  • Reason to avoid: Last week's false breakout failed to break resistance at $0.19. Negative divergence on MACD and RSI. Volume consistently weakening.

  • Risk: Potential drop to $0.15 or lower.

❌ Wait for a new breakout confirmation before considering entry.

4. Aptos (APT)

  • Current price: ~$7.20

  • Reason to avoid: Weak community sentiment, losing appeal. Price failed to maintain higher-high structure. Open interest dominance has declined in the last 3 days.

  • Risk: Potential breakdown to support $6.50.

❌ Avoid entry until a new trend forms.

5. Floki Inu (FLOKI)

  • Current price: ~$0.00017

  • Reason to avoid: Previous increase was solely driven by hype. No fundamental updates or major new partnerships. The risk of pump and dump is very high in the near term.

  • Risk: Potential sharp decline if volume continues to drop.

❌ Suitable only for ultra-risk traders, not a general recommendation.

| Coin | Main Reason | Correction Risk |

| ----- | ---------------------------- | -------------- |

| DOGE | High RSI, declining volume | 8–12% |

| SHIB | Sideways, whale selling | 10–15% |

| KAS | False breakout, weak volume | 10%+ |

| APT | Weakening trend, OI decreasing | 8–10% |

| FLOKI | Fading hype, plummeting volume | 15–25% |

🚫 Conclusion: Prioritize Analysis, Avoid Speculation

One important principle in crypto trading is to avoid FOMO (fear of missing out). Not all coins are worth buying, and some even show strong signals to be avoided in the near term. Focus on assets with healthy volume support, strong fundamental catalysts, and valid technical structures.
