If you feel it's too late to buy because of the rising price factor, I suggest waiting for the price correction or speculating to buy another coin that has the potential but has a low price. it can make a good token selection switch and not too late for investment
Looking for a potential coin to buy at a low price, you'll just mostly find a meme coin that's also going with the current run of the market. But not all of them are like that.
You might find a good coin with true intent and potential if you're someone who keeps on doing research and you all have the idea of how it goes for these projects.
Not too late to buy the top ones but as you've said, you have to wait until they go in a dip.
