The October fund manager survey released by Bank of America on Tuesday showed that the "long Big Tech" trade (i.e. bullish bets on technology companies with larger market capitalizations) was the most "crowded". Bank of America surveyed 295 market participants with total assets under management of $736 billion. The survey was conducted from October 6 to 12.
Crypto industry insider Noelle Acheson said in this regard: "This has an impact on the encryption market, but not necessarily a good impact. The most crowded trading is usually a euphemism for 'the most overvalued', which means that large technology stocks are the most Categories likely to suffer significant corrections.”
