Institutional vs. Retail: Contrasting Approaches to Risk
Institutional players, who generally use less leverage, weathered the market turbulence with limited impact. By concentrating on major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum and keeping leverage low, institutions avoided the severe liquidation cycles that hit retail investors hard
The timing around Thanksgiving further shifted the dynamics. With institutions less active due to the holiday, retail sentiment drove short-term price moves. This, combined with thinner liquidity and wider spreads, created ideal conditions for panic selling and forced liquidations
Market Stability and Liquidity’s Impact
The November wave of liquidations has sparked concerns about the market’s stability. Bitcoin ETF outflows reached $3.55 billion for the month, marking the largest monthly outflow on record and reversing the inflows that had driven 2025’s rally
Despite these setbacks, analysts suggest that the downturn is mainly the result of technical market mechanisms rather than a loss of investor faith. NYDIG, for example, remains optimistic about the long-term outlook, attributing the price decline to market structure shifts rather than fundamental problems
Opportunities for Long-Term Investors
The November downturn marks a pivotal moment for those investing with a long-term perspective. Technical indicators point to potential support for Bitcoin near $80,000, with significant levels at $89,400 (Active Realized Price) and $82,400 (True Market Mean Price) possibly serving as price floors
On a fundamental level, Bitcoin appears to be undervaluing positive macroeconomic trends, such as loose monetary policy and potential Fed easing, indicating a sentiment correction rather than a shift to a bearish market
The Need for Rigorous Risk Management
The surge in liquidations during November is a clear warning about the dangers of excessive leverage. Retail investors who neglected proper position sizing and stop-loss measures suffered heavy losses, while institutions’ cautious tactics helped them protect their capital. The takeaway for everyone: in unpredictable markets, careful management of liquidity and leverage is essential.
As Bitcoin potentially enters a consolidation period, long-term investors should focus on entering at strong support levels and avoid taking on too much risk in speculative assets. The market’s underlying strength—demonstrated by Bitcoin Bancorp’s Q3 revenue growth and NYDIG’s continued optimism—shows that a disciplined, well-planned approach can still deliver significant gains.
