 <p class="paragraph">Bitcoin (BTC) has reached a new multi-year high at $45,922 on January 2, 2024.

 <p class="paragraph">While most people wait for strong price action to deploy capital into a given cryptocurrency, smart money avoids trading overextended speculative assets as part of a good risk management strategy.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Notably, investors can find cryptocurrencies to avoid trading this week using fundamental and technical analysis. In particular, meme coins with poor fundamentals and ‘overbought’ coins according to the Relative Strength Index (RSI).</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-avoid-trading-memecoins-in-2024">Avoid trading memecoins in 2024</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Memecoins like Dogecoin (DOGE) were initially created as a tool for having fun with digital money. After Elon Musk’s support of DOGE and the surge of Shiba Inu (SHIB), memecoins have become popular among <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currency traders.&nbsp;</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Interestingly, Pepe (PEPE) and Bonk (BONK) are examples of meme coins that benefited from speculator’s greed in 2023. BONK was the year’s biggest gainer, but its investors could face a similar fate to PEPE’s and most of these micro financial bubbles.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Savvy investors should avoid trading meme coins this cycle, specifically PEPE and BONK.</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-overbought-cryptocurrencies-to-avoid-trading-this-week">Overbought cryptocurrencies to avoid trading this week</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">On another perspective, Finbold also spotted four non-meme coin cryptocurrencies with high RSIs using <em>CoinGlass</em>’s heatmap. In particular, Filecoin (FIL), Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), BitcoinSV (BSV), and Perpetual Protocol (PERP).</p>
 <p class="paragraph">The ‘overbought’ status of these projects increases the odds of price retracement and massive liquidations. However, even an overbought asset can continue to rise in such an uncertain market as is crypto’s.</p>
 <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-filecoin-fil">Filecoin (FIL)</h3>
 <p class="paragraph">First, FIL scores are 72.28, 78.58, and 86.33 in the 4-hour, 24-hour, and 1-week RSI. They all mark an overbought status to Filecoin, trading at $7.77 by press time, up 5.55% in 24 hours.</p>
