I think that among many investors who know the crypto market, yes that will change the direction of prices, mainly that like technology and make profits, will invest a larger amount in a project for example, thus creating small ups or pumps.
But if the old investors will not come first then new investors will not see the benefit. I want to say that there a lot of people who had their money in Bitcoin and now they converted them to USD because of the market if they will put their money then Bitcoin will start to move higher and seeing this new investors will put their money to get the profit.
