According to BlockBeats, Mechanism Capital co-founder Andrew Kang recently shared his thoughts on social media about trading strategies that work in player-versus-player (PvP) market conditions but not in player-versus-environment (PvE) market conditions. Kang advised against focusing too much on high funding rates or consistently rising prices in a bull market, as funding rates may continue to rise and short positions may not be sustainable.
Kang also noted that the rotation of funds is different now compared to the past. New investors entering the market may not diversify their investments like older cryptocurrency traders. Instead, they may choose their favorite meme coins and continue to buy them with their daily or weekly wages. Traders who short meme coins due to their rotation may eventually be eliminated from the market. This observation aligns with previous comments made by 10X Research CEO Markus Thielen, who expressed doubt that many new funds flowing into the market from retail and institutional investors are based on fixed dollar amounts, suggesting that investors may not be sensitive to coin prices.
