The price has been going up quite steadily the past few days. I want to buy around 3k of coin but I'm reluctant right now, because I predict a crash happening quite soon. Not really sure where I should enter at, I think after a price drop of $50 I'd be safe.
Ideally I'm trying to win at a January 14 scenario

I'm not sure if the price will crash any time soon or ever. I believe we will continue rising the next few weeks.
It's up to you when and how to invest your money and asking for help or hints won't help you that much I believe.
Decide on your own and live with it, however it will end.
