- Since cryptocurrencies are volatile, strategies based on momentum
indicators should work well. Arbitrage and anomalies-based strategies
also would be a good idea!
- Some momentum indicators are: RSI (Relative Strength Index), MACD
(Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and AO (Awesome
Oscillator) Indicator.
