by Alex King, CEO, Cestrian Capital Research, Inc.

Here at Cestrian Capital Research, Inc, we have a simple view on how to invest and trade successfully. All our work is focused on understanding what it is that the largest, price-setting asset managers are doing with their capital. We use quantitative, technical, and fundamental methods to spot the breadcrumb trails that Big Money leaves across the market as it rotates capital from opportunity to opportunity in order to create gains out of thin air. We’ve been doing this in stocks and ETFs for many years now, with great success according to our reviews.

But now, Big Money is focused very hard on crypto - specifically on the top three blockchains and coins, being:

  • Bitcoin
  • Ether
  • Solana

And Big Money is now using the exact same methods in crypto it has used in stocks for a century or more.

  • Accumulation: build a stake quietly whilst price trends sideways at the lows, and all the news is bad.
  • Markup: sit back and do nothing when the news turns positive, enjoying the rising price but not yet taking profits.
  • Distribution: after a run-up, sell the stake quietly whilst price trends sideways at the highs.
  • Markdown: do nothing as price falls back to Earth, with no buyers of any size to be seen. (And for the more aggressive - generate gains on short positions to then re-invest those gains in long positions at the lows).

This is rotation, and it’s how Big Money became Big Money and stays big money. Why might Bitcoin be falling when Ether is rising? Because Big Money is in the distribution phase in Bitcoin, but the Markup phase in Ether. Why might Solana be rangebound at the lows at this time? Because Big Money is in the accumulation phase in Solana.

Big Money is new to crypto. Only with the advent of BlackRock crypto ETFs and the adoption of the Ethereum blockchain as the basis of asset tokenization has the opportunity set become big enough for the largest asset managers to join the party.

And that’s great news. Why? Because they cannot carry out their business without leaving breadcrumb trails. Here at Cestrian, our charts, our algos, and our fundamental analysis are all designed to read the breadcrumb trail and then follow it successfully. Identifying price zones in which to buy, price zones in which to hold, price zones in which to sell.

Big Money Crypto does exactly what it says it will. We help you follow what Big Money is doing so you can try to follow their lead. (It’s never a good idea to get out in front of Big Money. It can crush you. You want to be just a little bit behind, not too far, not too close).
