Differences between the strategies

The following information outlines the differences between two distinct BTC and ETH portfolio strategies and may help in choosing between ETH-BTC Trend following portfolio (Trend) and ETH-BTC Momentum portfolio (MoM).

  • Trend follows price trends, MoM accumulates assets by their price momentum
  • MoM reacts faster to price rises than Trend because identifying price trends with greater accuracy takes more time than observing price movements
  • Its faster reaction to price appreciation means the MoM strategy may make more trades that do not end profitably
  • MoM always holds some risky assets whereas Trend does not hold any risky assets when no positive or neutral price trend is detected
  • Trend provides less volatility and more stability at times when prices are falling
  • MoM may outperform Trend in the short run and when prices are rising fast, but Trend should outperform MoM in a longer time frame and offer better risk-return characteristics
