Retail Investors vs Institutions: How Small Investors Can Stand Firm in the Cryptocurrency Market

In the cryptocurrency market, retail investors and institutions are like small fish and big fish in the ocean. The big fish are strong and swim fast, while the small fish? Although they are weaker and swim slower, they also have their own ways to survive.

1. First, Understand the Big Fish's Strategies

Institutions have more funds and play it safe. They use high-tech means to analyze the market, almost like having a long-range vision. Retail investors are often swayed by market emotions, easily chasing highs and selling lows. Therefore, small fish need to learn how big fish strategically position themselves in advance, and how to drive the market through information, funds, or technology. The key is to stay calm and not be swept away by the market's turbulence.

2. Seize Opportunities When Big Fish Swim Slowly

Although big fish swim fast, sometimes they can’t keep up with the market's rhythm. At this time, small fish can take advantage of market fluctuations to enter and exit flexibly. For example, when the market is in panic, some good assets become cheaper, and small fish can seize the opportunity to buy more and sell when the market recovers.

3. Small Fish Must Also Have Patience

Small fish have limited funds and can't withstand major storms. Therefore, the most important thing is to have patience and not to expect to make big money all at once. They should accumulate gradually, choose the right assets, and naturally, they can profit when the market improves. This way, small fish can avoid being swept away by the risks of high-frequency trading and stay calm during significant market fluctuations.

4. Focus Your Energy and Hit the Target

The advantage of small fish is flexibility. Big fish have to manage many things, while small fish can concentrate their energy on just a few promising targets. This way, when the market is favorable, small fish can earn more instead of diversifying like big fish, which reduces risk but also lowers returns.

5. Learn More and Listen to Information

Although small fish don't have as much information as big fish, they can compensate for this shortcoming by learning more and listening to news. By keeping up with the news, participating in community discussions, and paying attention to market analysis, small fish can discover opportunities that big fish might overlook at the earliest moment.
