When Bitcoin Drops, Institutions Follow Models — Not Memes
-

A 10%–20% drop in Bitcoin may spark retail panic or “buy the dip” hype, but institutional responses are far more calculated. Quant funds use statistical models to determine whether the move reflects temporary dislocation or a real trend reversal.
For retail investors trying to mimic this sophistication, Samar Sen says the formula is simple:
Define exposure before volatility, separate investment decisions from execution, and analyze every trade afterward.
“Set your rules early, execute calmly, and evaluate honestly,” he advises. “Do that, and you’re already closer to institutional best practice than most retail traders.” -
Just keep holding.

Institutions sticking to models over emotion is what sets them apart during volatility.
