I am sure that the top 5-10 CMC will show growth this year, there is already a certain opinion on the market that it is the coins that are firmly in the top 10 CMC that are attractive to investors, and with sharp corrections they always recover, the risk is minimal.
Price recovery after correction in the top ten coins could indeed be faster, but about the risk I don't think it will be smaller as long as the zigzag movement is still happening in the market at the moment because what often rises sharply, can also fall very deeply and this this has also happened to good coins.
If a coin is at the top, expect that lots are going to invest with that so its value can rise very well but we aren't only talking about the rise here because investors sells too. The price of a top coin can dump more because lots of people are also going to sold for profit and for the non top coins, demand for them is low but the risk can also be lower.
It is up to us if what is our preference . Are you a kind of person that wants to fit in and wants to invest in top coins? Or your a kind of person that doesn't wants to join the crowd? But, no matter which side you choose, you gotta make sure that your only investing funds that you can afford to lose. This is the most important part here.
