Kripto Para Piyasalarına Uygulanan Teknik Analiz Yöntemlerinin Performanslarının Analizi

Year 2022, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 258 - 272, 31.12.2022

Abstract

Bu çalışmada Covid-19 dönemi dikkate alınarak önemli bir teknik analiz yöntemi olan hareketli ortalama yöntemine dayalı 30 farklı yatırım stratejisinin performansı Bitcoin ile Ethereum için incelenmiştir. Analizlerde 10 günlük, 20 günlük, 50 günlük, 100 günlük ve 200 günlük basit ve üssel hareketli ortalama yöntemlerinden yararlanılmıştır. İlgili teknik analiz yöntemine dayalı yatırım stratejilerinin performansları “Satın al ve beklet (Buy and hold)” yatırım stratejisinin performansı ile de karşılaştırılmıştır. Yatırım stratejilerinin performanslarının analizinde Sharpe rasyosu ile Sortino rasyosundan, finansal risk düzeylerinin ölçümünde ise MDD (Maximum drawdown, MDD) yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Çalışma bulguları ilgili teknik analiz yöntemlerine dayalı yatırım stratejilerinin yüksek pozitif ortalama getiri oranları sunduklarını ve en az %90’ının “satın al ve beklet” yatırım stratejisine göre daha iyi performans sergilediklerini göstermektedir. Bulgular ayrıca en iyi performansı sergileyen teknik analiz yöntemlerinin aşağı yönlü sert fiyat hareketlerinin yol açabileceği finansal risklere karşı da yüksek oranlı koruma sağladıkları sonucuna işaret etmektedir. Son olarak da bulgular kripto para piyasalarının zayıf formda etkin olmadığını göstermektedir.

Examining The Performance Of Technical Analysis Trading Strategies Applied To Cryptocurrency Markets

Year 2022, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 258 - 272, 31.12.2022

Abstract

This study examines the performance of 30 different moving averages trading strategies on Bitcoin and Ethereum during the COVID-19 pandemic. 10-, 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day simple and exponential moving averages trading strategies are applied in the analysis. The performances of the moving averages trading strategies are also compared with the performance of the “buy and hold” strategy. The Sharpe ratio and Sortino ratio are applied in order to evaluate the trading performances of the related trading strategies, whereas the MDD (Maximum drawdown, MDD) is used in order to measure the downside risk of the related trading strategies.The results show that moving averages trading strategies offer high positive average rates of return and at least 90% of them outperform the "buy and hold" strategy. Additionally, findings indicate that especially the best performing moving averages trading strategies provide high significant downward protection compared to the buy and hold strategy because MDD of moving averages trading strategies are significantly less than that of the buy and hold strategy. Finally, the findings reveal that cryptocurrency markets are not weak-form efficient.
