The strategy you are using is co risky. If you buy for example btc at 8000 and it dips even more to 6.5k and go up a little bit to 7k and planning to sell it and buy low value coins, expecting that the coins you buy will moon? And what if the coins you buy did not moon and instead dip? And the btc go moon right after you sell your position? That is not a good strategy unless you are expert and understand what you are really doing.
Now, For my opinion. The best way to gain your loses or i mean technique.
Buy dip (25% of funds) the dip is when you think the cheapest price offcourse, but nobody knows exactly when will or how much would it be. Because sometimes when you think it is cheap and you enter and suddeny dip even more. So i say buy only 25% of your funds because either wa around, you will not lose too much if incase that the coins you buy dip even more. And regarding with the gain. It is better to gain 5% of your total funds than losing 50% of it. So the point of this is don't be greedy. Just chill out.
Next is so let's say you buy a coins worth 25% of your funds thinking that you entered the good price but suddenly the price dip even more. Btc for example, You enter on 8k Because you think that it is cheap at that time and suddenly it drops to 6.5k. So the purpose of using 25% of your funds is back up. Use the remaining 75% as a back up. You enter at 8k the you see that the price dip to what you feel is the even cheaper. so buy another 25% worth of it. So in total you have 50% of your funds on that coins. Your first target of 8k to regain your loses will definately go down to somewhere arround 7.5 to 7.8k. lowering your target to break even. Okay now since you say that the price dip even more to 6.5k By that time, you buy another 25% of the funds. So in total, you have 75% of your funds inside that coins. Which will reduced your loses even if it wont go back to 8k right? By that way you will be able to minimized your loses and even get profit from that technique.
And last, Don't put all the money in just one coin. Diversify, Read and research which coins will gonna make it. or which coin have a good potential. Buy and hold. You don't want to missed a coin that will moon right? So don't put all your money in just one coins. And also it will lessen the risk.
In investing to ALTcoins, don't look at the $value or dollar value of the coins. Because altcoins defends its price on btc. so if btc dip the coins price dip as well. Based on the satoshi value not the dollar value. Youre goal is to make more btc from altcoins so that when btc price moon. You have many btc.
There are so many guide and technique in the internet. Do some reasearch and test which strategy works well on you. Always remember, Invest what you can afford to lose. thats the number one rule. And the best way to earn is the best way to lose as well.
Goodluck buddy and happy trading.
