Crypto ‘buy the dip’ moments to last longer this cycle: Hedge fund founder

A crypto hedge fund manager says there’s likely going to be more time for traders to take advantage of buying opportunities this cycle, following a plummet across the broader crypto market on the daily price charts.

“There will be intra-month volatility, but the pullbacks likely will be a “buy the dip” scenario for much longer than everyone expects,” Syncracy Capital co-founder Daniel Cheung said in a Dec. 9 X post.

Traders are ‘constantly looking to take profits’

Cheung said that during this cycle, traders have shifted to a “short-term” trading mentality, “constantly looking to take profits.” Over the past 24 hours, the total crypto market capitalization has dropped 5.41% to $3.44 trillion, according to CoinMarketCap data.

Santiment however said that if retail traders “react with fear” and offload their crypto too quickly, it could trigger an aggressive recovery.

“Expect a swift rebound to assets like TRX, AVAX, DOT, ICP, POL, FIL, and TIA.”

Swyftx lead analyst Pav Hundal told Cointelegraph that the broader crypto market pullback “looks like a blip,” adding:

“Traders were piling into leveraged longs before the smash. As soon as spot market liquidity melted away, they were in trouble.”

“Leveraged longs have gone through the market equivalent of an extinction event over the last 24 hours,” he added.

Over the past 24 hours, approximately $1.58 billion in long positions were liquidated across the crypto market, according to CoinGlass data.

It is ‘extremely difficult’ to time the crypto market

Cheung said that “timing markets are extremely difficult.”

“In prior cycles, participants largely engaged in a hodl and buy the dip mentality,” he…
