Most Retail Crypto Traders Say Emotion Impacts Their Crypto Trading

Around nine out of 10 crypto traders admit emotion and general sentiment has some impact on their crypto trading with 26% admitting it is the driving force, new international research* from GNY.IO Limited, the leading blockchain-based machine learning business, shows.

GNY carried out the global study with traders trading at least $5,000 a month on cryptocurrencies and found on average they estimate 22% of their bad trades are driven by emotion rather than by analysing data.

GNY has developed the free AI-powered Range Report,  a cutting-edge machine learning tool designed specifically to forecast the volatility of the 12 top cryptocurrencies by leveraging multiple data points and advanced algorithms. GNY has further augmented the tool with the use of large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Meta’s LLaMa 2, making it even easier for users to identify notable changes in trends and signals in the crypto market. 

Its research found 90% of traders say emotion and general sentiment has some impact on their trading and that 74% say breaking news on the security, value and longevity is the biggest factor determining whether they trade or not. Around half (54%) say breaking news on companies involved in the sector such as the collapse of FTX or Genesis is the biggest factor while 51% say regulatory changes.

Around three out of four (75%) say they look to trade during periods of increased volatility and liquidity such as when the US and UK markets are opening. 

The study found 60% believe social content has a huge impact on crypto prices while another 32% believe it has quite a big impact. Just 7% say it has a limited impact on prices.

GNY’s innovative platform empowers traders with accurate intelligence on potential price fluctuations, helping them make informed investment decisions as well as providing guidance on how to use and read charts, and market wide information. It simplifies the complex world of crypto into digestible information.

Cosmas Wong, CEO GNY said: “Emotions play a huge part in the actions of those trading cryptocurrencies, and this is made all the worse when there is a deluge of market data, not all of which you can trust. 

YouTube crypto personalities have valuable insights, and I follow many of them. However, for the everyday non-professional trader like me, who’s trying to navigate the cryptoverse, the GNY Range Report delivers curated, objective, and actionable information in a concise format.

 “The GNY Range Report is not a traditional news or chart aggregation platform. It leverages the power of machine learning to identify patterns in top crypto assets’ historical trading in order to forecast price volatility, delivering them in an approachable way.”
