What Do Rising Cryptocurrency Correlations Imply?
What Does This Mean for Crypto Investors?
While rising correlation implies market inefficiency it also sets the stage for extracting alpha. “From an investors point of view, the more correlations rise, the more inefficient markets get. These little inefficiencies create opportunities for astute investors. As an example, if all assets are falling at a similar pace, astute investors can invest more capital in the higher quality assets for better prices. This also works in reverse, where investors are able to unwind lower quality overvalued assets during rising markets. The risk is, of course, that these correlations can remain high for long periods of time, even in the most efficient markets like the S&P 500, we see intra-market correlations remain high for extended periods making it difficult for the fundamental or quantamental investor to extract alpha,” Ervin told Bitrazzi.
