To you the current market situation seems like a normal situation to invest but honestly to me every situation in Bitcoin seems good enough to invest. But we can't predict from which stage the Bitcoin market will go. Just as Bitcoin can move from lows to lows, Bitcoin prices can go from highs to highs. We cannot say anything about the Bitcoin market in advance but by researching the market and observing the market regularly, one can predict the market movement to some extent.
Investing in Bitcoin and holding it deep is a very challenging thing for every investor but those who accept this challenge and hold their investment deep achieve success.
it's funny that some persons will wait for moments when they see bitcoin price going up before the thought to invest in bitcoin comes to there mind and like you rightly pointed out, bitcoin price can go up and then up, up and then down, down and then down and so on. so you can't just predict that because it is going up now , this is absolutely the time to invest into bitcoin and when you see the price going down you retreat from your plan on making the investment. It means that if you even successfully make the investment, you can't hodl your bitcoin because in the event of any fluctuation in price, you will let go of your investment.
Like JayJuanGee have already pointed out times without number, an investor can actually buy the dip and hold their coins and continue watching the market for such opportunity to actually add up to their portfolio because their is always certainty that the market is still going to go down Abit in course to achieve a new height. But also their always another strategy for those of us that are not too strong when it comes to financial means which is the DCA STRATEGY, I mean you can just set a specific amount out of your earning that won't affect you and use that portion to buy Bitcoin regardless if the dips or pumps just continue buying with a certain target or actually buying and HODLing till when convenient enough for you to sell but I would selling portion during a new ATH is achieve. The beauty about this particular strategy is that constant watching of market isn't all that necessary and you always have the dip as advantage thats if you can adjust the rate of your buying during that period and buy more coins because from what I understand the dip always comes with bigger number of Bitcoin if bought.
Real investors sees the prospect of bitcoin and invest a certain amount and leave it for quality amount of time while he monitor the price without getting seriously moved by any fluctuations in price that comes along the way.
What are the qualifications of a real investor? I guess I would say those that has the ability to buy and actually HODL their coins regardless of all the FOMO that others are experiencing.
