Buying the dip has its bad side and that's unable to predict market movement You buy the dip, it goes dipper. You buy the high, it goes dipper, you convert to usdt, it starts surging ....I quit buying low selling high for now
Actually that's inevitable event. What is hard about buying low is the fact that the bottom cannot be distinguish well especially when btc is always volatile. With this current market, I think many got rekt since all thinks that bull run is approaching while it still at 10.5k price then boom it go down easily to 8.5k and could go lower than what we expected.
The market price indeed fell lower than what is expected proving how unpredictable the market is. Another problem aside from not knowing how low will it fall and also when will the uprise occur. It would be a matter of waiting game and also, speculation. Investing would include having a dead profit but what would be more important is the moment profit will take place and that is also the actual moment that the market will recover.
With regards to OP's decision to stop buying during the 'low' periods, well, that is not a bad thing to do. It would be worse if one would push things to go with his own likings because in the first place, that would be impossible. Frustration is more likely to be the outcome. But there are still people who believe that much. It seems like they are making their own opportunity from investing on coins in which will have a comeback, and doing so for them, is worthy. We just do all have our own methodsin this market.
