The concept of 'Smart Money' is primarily used to refer to the capital of large investment funds and other financial institutions (and whales) that are considered to possess in-depth market knowledge.
This money is considered smarter because it moves strategically: its use is the result of comprehensive analysis, market research, and up-to-date information.
Smart Money quietly accumulates assets and, with its enormous financial capital, can influence the market. It doesn't follow trends; it creates them.
Smart Money investors have access to valuable resources unavailable to the average investor. This is why a Smart Money tracking strategy has emerged.
According to this investment thesis, individual investors can try to track the movement of Smart Money and thus find better investment opportunities.
In the crypto context, several strategies exist to try to identify and track the movement of Smart Money. Some of the possible options are:
1. On-Chain Analysis.
2. Wallet Tracking.
3. Exchange Data.
4. Investment Reports and Analysis.
5. Social Networks.
6. Market Sentiment Indices.
These tracking strategies (and others) theoretically allow you to identify how Smart Money is moving in the crypto market and thus follow it to try to replicate its results.
(In a future article, we will examine each of the tracking options mentioned in more detail)
