DCA involves consistently investing smaller, equal amounts over time, as opposed to making large, irregular crypto purchases. Think of it as making payments for a product in installments, at regular intervals, until the total is paid off. When you regularly invest in your preferred cryptocurrencies, you automatically accumulate more assets over time, regardless of market fluctuations. This can help you grow your holdings and potentially reduce your overall average cost during market dips.
DCA is a great way to accumulate BTC, but it depends on how you sell your holdings and when you sell it. DCA is a simple thing. You put an exact amount of money (either it is a big amount or a small amount) after an exact amount of time. Could be days, weeks, or months depending on your budget and activity. You don't wait for the price to fall or grow. When the time comes, you just do it regardless of market conditions.
Even after doing this, sometimes the market will not be in our favor and we will be at a loss. This is the key point to notice. In a situation like this, either you can sell if you are in profit or you will have to be patience and wait for that time to come. Controlling emotions and taking the right decision at the right time is the key. Don't hold onto something when you could clearly make good use of it at that time. Learn to let go when it is needed. You may be in profits even before you reach your target. In that situation, you need to take profit and start a new journey.
