What-If Scenario Analysis is a quantitative technique used to evaluate the potential outcomes and impacts of various hypothetical situations or market conditions on a financial portfolio, trading strategy, or operational system. In crypto, this involves simulating extreme price movements, liquidity shocks, or protocol failures to assess risk resilience.
Mechanism
This analysis operates by altering specific input variables within a financial model or simulation environment, such as asset prices, volatility levels, interest rates, or trading volumes, according to predefined scenarios. The system then calculates the resulting impact on key metrics like portfolio value, profit and loss, margin requirements, or operational performance, revealing vulnerabilities or potential opportunities.
Methodology
The methodology involves defining a range of plausible and stress scenarios, both historical and hypothetical, relevant to the crypto market context. These scenarios are applied to models that incorporate portfolio holdings, trading algorithms, and risk parameters. The insights derived inform risk capital allocation, stress testing frameworks, and strategic adjustments to trading limits or hedging strategies, thereby enhancing overall risk preparedness.
