Abstract

We consider a variety of highly-diversified cross-sectional momentum and reversal strategies, with sorting and holding periods from 1 week up to 2 years. In a sample of 2,000 biggest cryptocurrencies, we identify a positive momentum on short horizons up to 2-4 weeks and a significant reversal on longer horizons. The reversal effect becomes more pronounced once we expand the sorting or holding periods. Momentum and, particularly, reversal returns are economically large, statistically significant and cannot be explained by standard cryptocurrency risk factors. The main drivers of the reversal effect are ‘past loser’ cryptocurrencies.
