If you buy one bitcoin at $16k and sell it at $100k, then the price drops to $50k and you re-buy it again, spending $100k, that amount will buy you an extra one bitcoin, making it possible for you to own two bitcoins rather than the one you were holding. That's what I call "sell to buy more strategy. "
by the way
every market cycle has shown that cycle #2's low doesnt go below cycle #1's high
so if you are expecting 2025 ATH to go to 100k.. you will be let down if you then wait for the correction back to $50k.. because it wont go back down that low
actual real world math of the real economy of bitcoin acquisition costs has a speculative window of possibility of $25k-$140k this year
if you had said sell at $140k 2025 ATH.. and bought at $70k post 2025 ATH high's correction(new bottom). you might have a chance to maximise your short
The price went down almost 75 % from the top to the bottom the last cycle and in the previous one, it went down 87 %.
