Repensar las estrategias de inversión en criptomonedas en un mercado que no siempre sube
Burns Brief
La idea de “siempre arriba” detrás de los criptomercados es lo que impulsa a los inversores minoristas a quedarse cortos de personal cuando comienzan a operar. Los participantes del mercado están sopesando cuidadosamente las implicaciones, y el resultado probablemente dependerá de las condiciones macroeconómicas y el volumen más amplios. Esté atento a la confirmación del volumen: una ruptura por encima del volumen promedio indicaría que es probable que la tendencia continúe.
The “always up” idea behind crypto markets is what drives retail investors to come short-handed when they begin trading. The reality is that markets have stronger corrections, sideways movements, and downturns, leaving even experienced investors sidelined. Crypto is a polarizing market that generates a mismatch between the perceived outcomes retail investors have and their actual financial experience. New regulations, the tech sector, and economic policies are reshaping how market cycles have evolved. Traditional strategies lack effectiveness in today’s volatile crypto environment. Yieldfund, a Dutch quantitative trading company, illustrates how investors can adopt structured, automated strategies for greater resilience and predictability. When Bull-Market Habits Stop Working New retail investors rely on the default strategy of “HODLing”. Even during crypto's highs, the strategy isn’t flawless, as inexperienced traders experience euphoria from rising crypto prices and high enthusiasm. However, when cycles end and market conditions change, crypto assets can experience drawdowns. Even with increased industry regulations, 70% drawdowns and a complete market reset can occur. Such scenarios are all but common. When panic sets in, retail investors panic. They become emotionally exhausted from the uncertainty and act on it. Experienced traders who are active in the marekts are equally exposed to the volatility and drawdowns. A lack of discipline and increased enthusiasm lead to poor capital management. Additionally, active day trading requires ongoing position management, trading stress, and uncertainty for one's capital. Investor analysis underscores that price uncertainty, especially during downturns, leads users to take market action out of fear. For many, it leads to 90% of new retail traders being priced out of a $4 trillion market within a year. For the remaining 10%, positive outcomes rely heavily on the market moving favorably or the investor having perfect timing.
