The prices went even lower than the last years' dip right before the bull market. However, the BCH hard fork with its Hash Wars doesn't seem to bring any clarity or stability to the market.
So the question is following: would the market still go down or not much more and it would make sense to start shopping?
Not all coins have reached the lower mark, so you need to wait at least the beginning of winter to make sure a little stabilization, and then start investing. But now it becomes even more risky than before.
