Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the feedback trading effect in cryptoassets Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Dash, using a vector autoregressive system as proposed by Hasbrouck (1991). This effect seeks to evaluate the use of past data to make future decisions, using high frequency data, divided into four periods (day, hour, minute and second) in order to analyse the Feedback trading in cryptocurrencies and it intends to collaborate for the subfield of Behavioral finance, once there are few studies evaluating the investment in digital market under a behavioral perspective. The result suggest that there is a negative feedback trading effect in all cryptocurrencies for models using data aggregated by second and minute. The results also indicates that for Litecoin and Dash there is a negative feedback trading effect for data aggregated by hour.
