Santiment also predicted that there could be some buy opportunities for altcoins such as Litecoin (LTC), Serum (SRM), Radicle (RAD), VIDT DAO (VIDT), and Highstreet (HIGH). Traders invested in these cryptos have been suffering in recent weeks, but Santiment forecasted that some buy opportunities may soon emerge as these altcoins are close to bottoming out.
