The cryptocurrency market is something else that one have to invest on any dip point, because know one can give exactly dip amount of Bitcoin in the means of bear market, which every crypto investors, companies, institution's are expecting Bull Run market at any moment base on Bitcoin history session after Bitcoin halving next is Bull Run and normally occurs every four years. Hence buying in the dip is lucky, because the next dip no one else can tell and the only principle to apply, hence you have bought Bitcoin or any other alt-coins, have the patience to hold for a long term.
that's what many investors do, they always wait for a decline to occur and now is not the right time to buy bitcoin because the price is still high because the halving that is happening is still ongoing even though at this time there has been a decline in every coin but we have to keep waiting until the time comes. which is right, and as you said we have to be patient in waiting until the price increase occurs again and usually every 4 years as has been going on, so we need patience in investing if we want to get big profits.
